魯濱遜漂流記英文簡介
Robinson Crusoe is one of the world's most popular adventure novels. Daniel Defoe based his classic tale of shipwreck and survival on an uninhabited island, which is based on a true story. The real Robinson Crusoe was a Scotsman named Alexander Selkirk Born in 1676, when Selkirk was 19 years old he was cited for indecent conct in church. Then he ran off to sea. That was in 1695. By 1703 he was the sailing master of a galley. The following year he joined a pirate expedition to the Pacific Ocean that was led by Capt. William Dampier. Selkirk's ship had Thomas Straddling as its captain.
After spending some time in the Pacific, they were preparing to return to England with their booty. Their ship had suffered considerable damage in battle and Selkirk felt they needed to repair her before setting off around the Horn. The captain disagreed. After an argument, Selkirk refused to go any farther and demanded he be set ashore on the Island of Juan Fernandez, which was about 400 miles off the coast of Chile. The captain was glad to do this.
After about two years on the island he finally saw a ship and ran down to the shore to look it. He realized almost too late that it was a Spanish ship and the Spaniards opened fire on him. They were unable to find him and eventually left. He was much more cautious after that.
《簡愛》簡介
This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.
Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane』s ecation in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn』t get what she had been expecting simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden』s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside.
In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. We are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the Sargasso Sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. It』s our spirit that makes the life meaningful.
《傲慢與偏見》的概括
Summery of the novel
It is universally acknowledged that the eternal theme of Jane Austen』s novels is the choice people make for marriage partners, so is in Pride and Prejudice. Mrs. Bonnet had no other wish if her five daughters could get married as soon as possible with someone wealthy. At a dancing ball, it is obvious that Mr. Bingley could not help falling in love at the first sight with Miss Jane because of her stunning beauty. Mrs. Benne was so excited that she could not hold her manner and declared publicly she would have a daughter married soon, which frightened Mr. Bingley away. Mr. Collins, a distance nephew of Mr. Bennet, came to ask a marriage to one of his cousins before Mrs. Bennet was able to get clear why Mr. Bingley left suddenly. After receiving the hint from Mrs. Bennet that Jane already had an admirer, Mr. Collins turned to Elizabeth without wasting a minute and to Miss Charlotte Lucas two days later after refused by Elizabeth. It was difficult for Mrs. Bennet to recover herself as a result of the「deadly stupid」 decision made by Elizabeth until she got the news that Lydia finally married Mr. Wickham, though the marriage was built on the basis of ten thousand pounds. Mr. Darcy offered the money and did everything departing from his will just because he loved Elizabeth so much. He could not hide his feelings any more and showed his affection to Elizabeth at last, who, because of a series of misunderstandings towards him, rejected him without hesitation. This plot is the climax of the novel as the prejudice of Elizabeth to Mr. Darcy was exposed and removed since then. And the combination of the two young couples, Jane and Bingley, Elizabeth and Darcy came at last.
亂世佳人
Gone With The Wind is often considered the most beloved, enring and popular film of all time. Sidney Howard's script was derived from Margaret Mitchell's first and only published, best-selling Civil War and Reconstruction Period novel of 1,037 pages that first appeared in 1936, but was mostly written in the late 1920s. Procer David O. Selznick had acquired the film rights to Mitchell's novel in July, 1936 for $50,000 - a record amount at the time to an unknown author for her first novel, causing some to label the film "Selznick's Folly." At the time of the film's release, the fictional book had surpassed 1.5 million copies sold. More records were set when the film was first aired on television in two parts in late 1976, and controversy arose when it was restored and released theatrically in 1998.
The famous film, shot in three-strip Technicolor, is cinema's greatest, star-studded, historical epic film of the Old South ring wartime that boasts an immortal cast in a timeless, classic tale of a love-hate romance. The indomitable heroine, Scarlett O'Hara, struggles to find love ring the chaotic Civil War years and afterwards, and ultimately must seek refuge for herself and her family back at the beloved plantation Tara. There, she takes charge, defends it against Union soldiers, carpetbaggers, and starvation itself. She finally marries her worldly admirer Rhett Butler, but her apathy toward him in their marriage dooms their battling relationship, and she again returns to Tara to find consolation - indomitable.
Authenticity is enhanced by the costuming, sets, and variations on Stephen Foster songs and other excerpts from Civil War martial airs. Its opening, only a few months after WWII began in Europe, helped American audiences to identify with the war story and its theme of survival.
With three years advance publicity and Hollywood myth-making, three and one-half hours running time (with one intermission), a gala premiere in Atlanta on December 15, 1939, highest-grossing film status (eventually reaching $200 million), and Max Steiner's sweeping musical score, the exquisitely-photographed, Technicolor film was a blockbuster in its own time. A budgeted investment of over $4 million in proction costs was required - an enormous, record-breaking sum. The film (originally rough-cut at 6 hours in length) was challenging in its making, e to its controversial subject matter (including rape, drunkenness, moral dissipation and altery) and its epic qualities, with more than 50 speaking roles and 2,400 extras.
Various elements in the original novel had to be eliminated, and some characters, scenes, and events were either truncated, dropped, or modified:
Scarlett's first two children (Wade Hampton and Ella Lorena) were eliminated
In the novel, Charles Hamilton was in love with Honey Wilkes prior to falling in love with Scarlett; in the film, he was in love with India Wilkes Rhett's scenes (and confessions) about being a blockade runner were minimized or cut out
the novel's love scenes (in particular, the "Paddock Scene") were more low-key
the character of the Atlanta prostitute Belle Watling was sanitized, and Rhett's finding of solace with Belle, after Scarlett vowed not to have any more children following Bonnie's birth, was also down-played
any episodes or mention of the Ku Klux Klan were dropped
Rhett's contempt for Ashley was softened
Rhett's last words in the novel: "My dear, I don't give a damn." In the film: "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." [Contrary to popular belief, it was not the film with the first use of the word 'damn' (the expletive had been said by two characters in Pygmalion (1938) and had also been spoken in Alice Adams (1935))]
Will Benteen (Tara's "man of the house"), Rhett's sister Rosemary Butler, and Scarlett's uncle and lawyer Henry Hamilton were eliminated
On the night of the Shantytown raid, Melanie read from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield rather than from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables
A nationwide casting search for an actress to play the Southern belle Scarlett resulted in the hiring of young British actress Vivien Leigh, although over 30 other actresses (some well-known, and some amateurs) had been tested or considered including: Katharine Hepburn, Miriam Hopkins, Susan Hayward, Loretta Young, Paulette Goddard, Margaret Sullavan, Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Lana Turner, Joan Bennett, Mae West, Tallulah Bankhead, Jean Arthur, and Lucille Ball. Although MGM star Clark Gable was expected to play the role of the dashing war profiteer Rhett Butler, Errol Flynn, Ronald Colman, and Gary Cooper were also considered for the part. Author Margaret Mitchell told a reporter she favored Basil Rathbone for the male lead. The four principal stars were billed in this order: Clark Gable, followed by Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland, and then Vivien Leigh last with "...and presenting" -- that is, until she won the Oscar and it was changed to "starring

Living in a poor and intensely religious family,Dreiser had a very unhappy childhood.A world of jungle where "kill or to be killed" was the law can be found in Dreiser's fictions.In Sister Carrie Dreiser expressed his naturalistic pursuit by expounding the purposelessness of life and attacking the conventional moral standards.
Sister Carrie best embodies Dreiser's naturalistic belief that while men are controlled and conditioned by heredity, instinct and chance,a few extraodinary and unsophisticated human beings refuse to accept their fate wordlessly and instead strive,unsuccessfully,to find meaning and purpose for their existence.Carrie,as one of such,senses that she is merely a cipher in an uncaring world yet seeks to grasp the mysteries of life and thereby satisfies her desires for social status and material comfort.

D. 美國名著《白鯨》的讀書報告 要英文版
故事是由主人公-----以實瑪利走進「鯨魚旅館」的那一刻開始的，當晚，他被老闆安排和一個名為「魁魁格」的大個子睡在一起，魁魁格是科科伏柯島的王子，他有一手很好的叉魚技術，魁魁格和以實瑪利有著同樣的志向——出海遠航，做一名勇敢的水手。二人志同道合，就一起上路了，他們簽約了一艘名為「裴廓德號」的捕鯨船
「裴廓德號」並不是一艘普通的船隻，或許說「裴廓德號」的船長不是一個普通的船長吧。「裴廓德號」的船長名叫亞哈，他是一個瘸子，他的一條腿被一隻名叫莫比迪克的白鯨給咬掉了。為此，亞哈船長與莫比結下了仇，並且發誓：誓死殺掉莫比。但是和白鯨作對自然不是什麼好事，他們最後還是輸了，並且輸的一敗塗地。船破人亡，唯一倖免的以實瑪利因為一副棺材而獲救，那個本來是給魁魁格准備的棺材，最後成為以實瑪利的救命物，這實在是一個諷刺，一個對「裴廓德號」的諷刺，對所有船員的諷刺！
在讀這個故事的過程中，有些場面實在是令人氣憤，尤其是那個亞哈船長，我認為他簡直是固執的可笑。難道為了一條腿，就可以犧牲自己的生命嗎？盡管他的壽命不是很長了，但他完全可以放棄仇恨，安享晚年的。就是因為他的固執，讓很多抱有夢想的人葬身於大海。
其實，亞哈船長從一開始就是錯誤的，他之所以那麼恨莫比迪克，還不是因為莫比咬掉了他的一條腿，如果你說亞哈船長是因為怕這條白鯨去殺害更多的人而去不惜一切代價去捕殺它，那就錯了，這只是他想要報復的一個借口，可是，回頭想想，莫比為什麼要咬掉他的一條腿呢？我們都知道，白鯨其實是一種很善良的動物，他不會故意侵犯你的，如若不是一開始，亞哈船長的貪婪慾望促使他去捕殺白鯨莫比，白鯨又怎會反抗呢？咬掉他一條腿已經是萬幸了。
從一開始，亞哈船長就在為自己挖墳墓，從他捕殺莫比那一刻開始，他向莫比身上的投的魚叉越多，他給自己挖的墳墓就越深，直到最後，他不僅自己跳了下去，還拉帶這好多人一起跳下那個又深又「恐怖」的墳墓。那些與白鯨的斗爭都是無意義。亞哈船長看上去很令人欽佩，因為他的勇敢，因為他的什麼什麼，但那是自私，另類的自私！從文章中不是沒有看到大家在勸他放棄這個念頭，「拉吉號」的船長勸過他，大副斯達巴克也勸過他，可他就是不聽啊，到了最後，他似乎是完全瘋掉了。
《白鯨》真的給了我很多的啟示，你對待他人怎樣，他人就會對待你怎樣。你不去招惹別人，別人更不會冒犯你的。對待什麼事物，可以不要過分的認真，當然我是指一些無意義的認真，也許就是那些你所認為的執著會害了你自己。
大作家屠格涅夫是從19世紀40年代開始登上俄國文壇的。他的小說基本上情節單純、結構簡單、人物可陳、語言樸素，字里行間透著一種純凈雅緻的詩意。法國作家莫洛亞就曾用「詩意的現實主義」來評價屠格涅夫的作品。屠格涅夫不止一次地表明自己是一個現實主義作家，他把「准確而有力地再現真實」視為自己莫大的幸福。
《獵人筆記》是屠格涅夫的成名作，也是他的第一部現實主義作品。書中每一篇的篇幅都很短小，讀起來感覺輕松愜意。風景描寫極其優美，人物刻畫也相當成功。寥寥幾筆，或勾勒出自然景物的神韻，或描摹出一個人物的靈魂，讓人不由得不喜歡。
屠格涅夫出身於俄羅斯奧廖爾省的一個貴族家庭，他的母親就是一位農奴主。這使得他自幼就親眼目睹了農奴主的兇殘專橫，心裡產生了對農民悲慘處境的深切同情。
《獵人筆記》的中心思想便是反對農奴制。這種思想傾向不僅表現在對地主階級的揭露和批判上，更重要的是表現在對農民的才能和精神世界的贊美上。佩諾奇金是書中刻畫得最出色的地主形象。此人受過「良好」教育，頗有「文明」風度。但他表面上客氣，實際上奴僕們稍有不周，便會受到嚴厲懲罰。其他的地主有的蠻橫地搶占他人的土地，如「獵人的祖父」；有的精神空虛，變著法折磨農民和家僕，如科莫夫；還有的專門設立「辦事處」，通過一批爪牙管理農民，如女地主洛斯尼亞科娃。農民們在這些乖僻的地主管治下，過著水深火熱的生活。除了這些地主形象外，筆下出現的一系列富於才乾的農民形象，使人們似乎看到了農奴制下的俄羅斯的希望。《霍里和卡利內奇》中的霍里和卡利內奇，一個勤勞自信，一個熱情浪漫。《美麗的梅恰河畔的卡西揚》中的卡西揚純真善良，頭腦聰明，善於思考。《歌手》中的雅可夫具有非凡的藝術天賦。這些優良的品質出現在農民身上，既是一次大膽的嘗試，也體現了屠格涅夫追求「真實」的創作態度。
《獵人筆記》中的風景描寫也是極其出色的。屠格涅夫極擅長於描寫自然風景。日月星辰、天空白雲、晨光暮靄、雨露風霜等等自然現象以及大自然中的湖光山色、樹林原野、香花野草、禽獸蟲魚，在他的筆下無不顯得詩趣盎然，情味無窮。風景描寫在書中具有多方面的作用：有時是標示故事發生時環境氣氛和時間地點，有時烘托或反襯人物的內心世界，有時對情節的發展或結局起著象徵作用。情與景的交融，讓景物也具有了生命力，成了不可或缺的一部分。

《The Old Man and the Sea》（老人與海），《Le Comte de Monte-Cristo》（基督山伯爵），《The adventures of Robinson Crusoe》（魯冰遜漂流記），《Uncle Tom's Cabin》（湯姆叔叔的小屋），《The Catcher in the Rye》（麥田裡的守望者）。
1、《The Old Man and the Sea》（老人與海）
《老人與海》是美國作家海明威於1951年在古巴寫的一篇中篇小說，於1952年出版。
該作圍繞一位老年古巴漁夫，與一條巨大的馬林魚在離岸很遠的灣流中搏鬥而展開故事的講述。盡管海明威筆下的老人是悲劇性的。
但他身上卻有著尼采「超人」的品質，泰然自若地接受失敗，沉著勇敢地面對死亡，這些「硬漢子」體現了海明威的人生哲學和道德理想，即人類不向命運低頭，永不服輸的鬥士精神和積極向上的樂觀人生態度。
它奠定了海明威在世界文學中的突出地位，這篇小說相繼獲得了1953年美國普利策獎和1954年諾貝爾文學獎。
2、《Le Comte de Monte-Cristo》（基督山伯爵）
《基督山伯爵》是法國作家大仲馬創作的長篇小說，發表於1844—1846年。
故事講述19世紀法國皇帝拿破崙「百日王朝」時期，法老號大副愛德蒙·鄧蒂斯受船長委託，為拿破崙黨人送了一封信，遭到兩個卑鄙小人和法官的陷害，被打入黑牢。
獄友法利亞神甫向他傳授各種知識，並在臨終前把埋於基督山島上的一批寶藏的秘密告訴了他。
鄧蒂斯越獄後找到了寶藏，成為巨富，從此化名基督山伯爵（水手辛巴德、布索尼神父、威爾莫勛爵），經過精心策劃，報答了恩人，懲罰了仇人。
該小說以基督山揚善懲惡、報恩復仇為故事發展的中心線索，主要情節跌宕起伏，迂迴曲折，從中又演化出若干次要情節，小插曲緊湊精彩，卻不喧賓奪主，情節離奇卻不違反生活真實。
全書出色地運用了「懸念」、「突發」、「發現」、「戲劇」等手法，在敘述上有較大的敘述密度和復雜的人物關系。這一切使這部小說充滿了敘述的張力，洋溢著敘述本身所產生的美。
因此，《基督山伯爵》被公認為通俗小說的典範。這部小說出版後，很快就贏得了廣大讀者的青睞，被翻譯成幾十種文字出版，在法國和美國多次被拍成電影。
3、《The adventures of Robinson Crusoe》（魯冰遜漂流記）
《魯濱遜漂流記》是英國作家丹尼爾·笛福的一部長篇小說。該書首次出版於1719年4月25日。
該作主要講述了主人公魯濱遜·克魯索（Robinson Crusoe）出生於一個中產階級家庭，一生志在遨遊四海。
一次在去非洲航海的途中遇到風暴，隻身漂流到一個無人的荒島上，開始了段與世隔絕的生活。他憑著強韌的意志與不懈的努力，在荒島上頑強地生存下來，經過28年2個月零19天後得以返回故鄉。
這部小說是笛福受當時一個真實故事的啟發而創作的。1704年9月，一名叫亞歷山大·塞爾柯克的蘇格蘭水手與船長發生爭吵，被船長遺棄在大西洋中，在荒島上生活4年4個月之後，被伍茲·羅傑斯船長所救。
笛福便以塞爾柯克的傳奇故事為藍本，把自己多年來的海上經歷和體驗傾注在人物身上，並充分運用自己豐富的想像力進行文學加工，使「魯賓遜」不僅成為當時中小資產階級心目中的英雄人物。
而且成為西方文學中第一個理想化的新興資產者。該小說發表多年後，被譯成多種文字廣為流傳於世界各地，並被多次改編為電影和電視劇。
4、《Uncle Tom's Cabin》（湯姆叔叔的小屋）
《湯姆叔叔的小屋：卑賤者的生活》（英語：Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly），又譯作《黑奴籲天錄》、《湯姆大伯的小屋》。
是美國作家哈里特·比徹·斯托（斯托夫人）於1852年發表的一部反奴隸制長篇小說。這部小說中關於非裔美國人與美國奴隸制度的觀點曾產生過意義深遠的影響，並在某種程度上激化了導致美國內戰的地區局部沖突。
《湯姆叔叔的小屋》這部小說是19世紀最暢銷的小說（以及第二暢銷的書，僅次於最暢銷的書《聖經》），並被認為是刺激1850年代廢奴主義興起的一大原因。
在它發表的頭一年裡，在美國本土便銷售出了三十萬冊。《湯姆叔叔的小屋》對美國社會的影響是如此巨大，以致在南北戰爭爆發的初期，當林肯接見斯托夫人時，曾說到：「你就是那位引發了一場大戰的小婦人。」 後來，這句話為眾多作家競相引用。
《湯姆叔叔的小屋》以及受其啟發而寫作出的各種劇本，還促進了大量黑人刻板印象的產生，這些形象在當今都為人們所熟知。
譬如慈愛善良的黑人保姆、黑小孩的原型、以及順從、堅忍並忠心於白人主人的湯姆叔叔。最近幾十年來，《湯姆叔叔的小屋》中的這些消極成分，已在一定程度上弱化了這本書作為「重要的反奴隸制工具」的歷史作用。
5、《The Catcher in the Rye》（麥田裡的守望者）
《麥田裡的守望者》是美國作家傑羅姆·大衛·塞林格創作的唯一一部長篇小說，首次出版於1951年。塞林格將故事的起止局限於16歲的中學生霍爾頓·考爾菲德從離開學校到紐約游盪的三天時間內，並借鑒了意識流天馬行空的寫作方法，充分探索了一個十幾歲少年的內心世界。
憤怒與焦慮是此書的兩大主題，主人公的經歷和思想在青少年中引起強烈共鳴，受到讀者，特別是廣大中學生的熱烈歡迎。

"Celebrity biography" by the French famous writer Romain Roland? "Beethoven biography", "biography of Michelangelo" and "Tolstoy biography" composition, they are written in the early twentieth Century, no matter be in at that time is has wide influence on later ages. In this three part biography, Romain? Roland not rigidly adhere to the hero's life trivial to do textual research in general, no trace of their creative process, but tightly hold the common three with artists, to depict their history as the pursuit of truth good beauty and long-term enre misery. Romain Rolland called them? \ "hero", to touch one deeply in the heart of the ink, wrote the great feelings they struggle with the fate of the sublime courage and shoulder the burden all human suffering, can be said to be composed another que \ "heroic Symphony \ for us". In early twentieth Century thirty or forty's "celebrity biography", by translation into Chinese famous translators of Mr. Fu Lei, his first-class, first-class author plus a first-class translators, makes the works soon become a classic, today is still loved by readers. The first half of the twentieth Century is the history of mankind, also be in deep distress stirring period, Romain? Roland creation "celebrity biography", the translation of Mr. Fu Lei "celebrity biography", all has the feeling, is to learn from the survival of the strength and courage to fight from the great career. Mr. Fu Lei said, \ "cover the entire sky \" in the haze, he obtained from the "celebrity biography" the enlightenment is: \ "only the real suffering, to dispel the only romantic fantasy suffering; but to overcome the suffering of the heroic tragedy, can help us to bear the cruel fate; but hold 'I do not go into hell, who the hell' spirit, to revive a flagging and selfish people...... "So, for today's readers," celebrity biography "can give us? In a material life and spiritual life of extremely rich relatively weak era, in a people avoid high, bid farewell to the noble and self Gan mediocrity society, "celebrity biography" give us perhaps is more awkward, because these giant's life is like a mirror, make our base and small lucidity. We would rather go to praise their work and don't want to feel the greatness of their personality. In "Michelangelo" at the end, Romain? Roland said, great soul such as mountains, \ "I do not say that ordinary human beings can survive in the peak. But they should go prostrate annual. There, they can change the lungs breathing, and blood vessel. There, they will feel more approaching the eternal. Later, they returned to the original life wide, filled with daily fighting courage ". In our times, this is really valuable advice. "Celebrity biography" very well corroborated a Chinese old saying: ancient and modern into big business, not only possess extraordinary talents, but also have a persistent. Beethoven \ "to find shelter \" in the sad bear, Michelangelo \ "the more the more make me suffer like \", Tolstoy \ "I cry, my pain, my only desire truth", all without exception shows great life is a never-ending battle. Our era of ever-changing, full of opportunities, we want success, but we don't want to fight. We want to be famous overnight. Impetuous and utilitarian may make us obtain the short-lived success, but never let us among the humans immortal list. Therefore, read "celebrity biography", we may wake up to some.
《名人傳》由法國著名作家羅曼?羅蘭的《貝多芬傳》、《米開朗琪羅傳》和《托爾斯泰傳》組成，它們均創作於二十世紀初期，無論在當時是在後世都產生了廣泛的影響。在這三部傳記中，羅曼?羅蘭沒有拘泥於對傳主的生平做瑣屑的考述，也沒有一般性地追溯他們的創作歷程，而是緊緊把握住這三位擁有各自領域的藝術家的共同之處，著力刻畫了他們為追求真善美而長期忍受苦難的心路歷程。羅曼?羅蘭稱他們為\「英雄\」，以感人肺腑的筆墨，寫出了他們與命運抗爭的崇高勇氣和擔荷全人類苦難的偉大情懷，可以說是為我們譜寫了另一闋\「英雄交響曲\」。
早在二十世紀三四十年代，《名人傳》就由我國著名翻譯家傅雷先生譯成中文，一流的傳主、一流的作者加上一流的譯者，使這部作品很快即成為經典名著，時至今日仍深受廣大讀者的喜愛。二十世紀的前半期是人類歷史上風雲激盪也苦難深重的時期，羅曼?羅蘭創作《名人傳》，傅雷先生翻譯《名人傳》，都是有感而為，是要從這些偉人的生涯中汲取生存的力量和戰斗的勇氣。傅雷先生說，\「在陰霾遮蔽了整個天空的時候\」，他從《名人傳》中得到的啟示是：\「惟有真實的苦難，才能驅除浪漫底克的幻想的苦難；惟有克服苦難的壯烈的悲劇，才能幫助我們擔受殘酷的命運；惟有抱著『我不入地獄誰入地獄』的精神，才能挽救一個萎靡而自私的民族……\」
那麼，對於今天的讀者來說，《名人傳》又能給予我們什麼呢？在一個物質生活極度豐富而精神生活相對貧弱的時代，在一個人們躲避崇高、告別崇高而自甘平庸的社會里，《名人傳》給予我們的也許更多是尷尬，因為這些巨人的生涯就像一面明鏡，使我們的卑劣與渺小纖毫畢現。我們寧願去贊美他們的作品而不願去感受他們人格的偉大。在《米開朗琪羅傳》的結尾，羅曼?羅蘭說，偉大的心魂有如崇山峻嶺，\「我不說普通的人類都能在高峰上生存。但一年一度他們應上去頂禮。在那裡，他們可以變換一下肺中的呼吸，與脈管中的血流。在那裡，他們將感到更迫近永恆。以後，他們再回到人生的廣原，心中充滿了日常戰斗的勇氣\」。對於我們的時代，這實在是金石之言。
《名人傳》非常好地印證了一句中國人的古訓：古今之成大事業者，非惟有超世之才，亦必有堅韌不拔之志。貝多芬的\「在傷心隱忍中找棲身\」，米開朗琪羅的\「愈受苦愈使我喜歡\」，托爾斯泰的\「我哭泣，我痛苦，我只是欲求真理\」，無不表明偉大的人生就是一場無休無止的戰斗。我們的時代千變萬化，充滿機遇，我們渴望成功，但我們卻不想奮斗。我們要的是一夜成名。浮躁和急功近利或許會使我們取得曇花一現的成就，但絕不能讓我們躋身人類中的不朽者之列。因此，讀讀《名人傳》也許會讓我們清醒一些。
