第四次作业 1148408 李青

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemd to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.

这段话是Emma这本书的开头。这段话简洁的介绍了Emma的情况，让读者在阅读之初就对Emma的性格和家庭情况有一定了解。带着这样的介绍阅读下文，会对Emma接下来的故事有更加深刻的理解。

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

这句话精炼而深刻。可以认为这是安娜生活的写照。
文章开始用这样的句子，引发深思，也让人带着思考和疑问读下去。待到小说读完，再回头看这句话，会有更加完善的理解，唏嘘不已。

In my yonger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mingd ever since.
‘whenever you feel like criticizing and one,’ he told me,’ just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’

有第一人称叙述开始，回忆父亲曾经给自己的教诲，从而拉开小说的序幕，显得亲近而友好。
