第一篇：双城记英文梗概

years before in 1757, because of knowing a terrible secret, Dr.Manette was picked up and sent to the Bastille---one of the most terrible prisons in the world, by the noble Marquis St.Evremonde.18 years after in 1775, His only daughter, Lucie Manette, fell in love with Charles Darnay, the nephew of the Marquis St.Evremonde, which abandoned the noble degree to live by himself.“Let the past be past.” Thought Dr.Marnette, and was preparing to have a happy new life with his daughter and her hus band.But the revolution of France broke, and because of his family, Charles Darnay was denounced---denounced by a letter which was wrote by Dr.Marnette himself 18 years ago!What a cruel strike!Isn’t it? Though he was innocent, poor Charles would have been sent to the guillotine.The story seems to be over thus far, but, wait!There is another man we might refer to, that is Sydney Carton, the lawyer of England, the good friend of Manette’s families, who took after Charles very much.It was he, finally be killed instead by his own mind.Why? As you may ask, I want to ask the same question.That is because---I guess---love.And of course, the HOPE, yes, the HOPE.When Sydney was killed as Charles, there was much hope on his face.What was he thinking about as he went to his death? If we could have listened to his thoughts, we might have heard

beautiful things:“It’s the time.May God forgive me.But I see the death of all who hate.I see a new France, growing from out of the old.I see a beautiful Paris filled with happy people.And I see the lives which I have saved.They are happy in England.There is a boy-child in lucre’s arms.And he is named Sydney.He will grow old and bring love to my name.It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done.It is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.

名著梗概：《双城记》

{英国)狄更斯著

[故事梗概]

一七七五年十一月间，一辆英国邮车正从伦敦通往杜佛的大道上行驶。当时英国国内社会秩序很不安宁，明火执杖在大路上行劫的事屡屡发生。邮车里的乘客都提心吊胆，生怕遭到什么意外。其中有位乘客是伦敦台尔生银行的职员劳雷先生，他有一对亮晶晶的眼睛和一张惯于抑制而镇静的脸。由于银行的业务关系，他经常来往于伦敦和巴黎之间。不过，这次他去巴黎却另有一项任务。

在杜佛的乔治旅馆里，劳雷先生会见了梅尼特小姐。这是个十六七岁的法国姑娘，有着轻盈苗条的身材和一头美丽的金发，身穿骑装外衣，手里还拿着她的旅行草帽的缎带。她那对活泼的蓝眼睛带着审察的神气。她要和劳雷先生一道到巴黎去。

事情是这样的：十五年前，梅尼特小姐的父亲梅尼特医生是台尔生银行的顾客。他和一个英国的女子结了婚，并把家产委托给银行劳雷先生经理。梅尼特医生在女儿路茜出生后不久，忽然失踪了。迫害他的人是有填写空白逮捕令特权的，可以任意把人禁锢在牢狱里。梅尼特的夫人多方打听丈夫的下落，却杳无音讯。过了两年，她伤心地死了。小路茜由劳雷先生带回英国抚养。现在，梅尼特医生突然在巴黎被发现了，但已经失去了理智，由他以前的仆人得伐石照看着他。劳雷先生和路茜小姐此行，就是要去辩认他，以恢复他的生命、爱情、义务和欢乐。

巴黎圣安东尼区，满目贫寒和饥饿的景象。一条弯曲而狭窄的街道，充满着恶臭。街上的不规则的粗石头，露出各式各样的尖角，好象有意要伤害接近它们的一切生物的脚。在这里，“冷、脏、病、无知和贫穷，是伺候圣驾的五位大人”。尤其是那第五位大人--“贫穷”，充斥在每个角落里，出入于每个门道里，从每个窗洞里伸出头来，抖颤在被风飘曳着的破衣袖中。

在街的转角处，有一家酒店，是市民们聚会的中心。店主叫得伐石。他穿着黄短衫艰长裤，颈粗如牛，神情勇武，大约三十岁左右。这是个有一定主意和决心的坚强的人。他的妻子得伐石太太也是个壮健的女人，生着一双警惕的眼睛，粗大的手上满戴着指环，脸色镇定而坚毅，态度沉着。他们和出入酒店的人们有些奇怪的暗号。

得伐石夫妇引劳雷和路茜去见梅尼特医生。医生住在一间顶楼里，房间很暗，十八年的监狱生活已使他害怕光线、害怕人声，变得麻木了。他们走进房间，便看见这个白发衰弱的老人，正坐在窗前做鞋子。他有一张凹陷的脸，脸上长着乱蓬蓬的白胡子。由于脸的凹陷和瘦削，使他那两只眼睛显得特别大。他对以往的事一概不记得了，也认不出劳雷先生。问他姓名时，他说是“北塔，一○五号。”他的声音微弱得可怜而且可怕。露茜的金发似乎使他恢复了一下

记忆，但接着他又失去了知觉。人们始终不明白这位善良的医生，怎么被关进了监狱？受到如此痛苦的折磨。

劳雷先生决定把梅尼特医生带回伦敦去医治。临上车时，这位可怜的老人却要索取他做鞋子的工具和尚未做完的鞋子。得伐石太太叫丈夫给他拿来了。于是劳雷一行便离开了巴黎。

五年之后，伦敦法院开庭审判了一桩案子。被告是一个法国人，名叫查理·代尔那。他被英国间谍约翰·巴尔塞诬告为犯有向法国提供军事情报的罪行。代尔那是个二十五岁左右的青年，长得很好看，两颊晒成棕色，眼睛是乌黑的。他是个出身于贵族的少爷。一七七五年，他由法国到英国定居，恰好是和梅尼特医生父女同船到达的。露茜在法庭上提供了一些有利于他的证词。律师史曲勒孚的助手卡尔登又以自己与代尔那的相貌相似，扰乱了人们的视线。法庭因找不出确凿的证据，便将代尔那无罪开释了。

卡尔登在做学生时代，就表现出纯朴忠厚，诚恳能干的好品质。但他具有懒散、消沉、无生活目的的弱点。后来当了律师史曲勒孚的助手，他的优点被利用。卡尔登虽然算不了一匹狮子，却是一只很好的胡狼。他低首下心地帮忙史曲勒孚，成为他进身的阶梯。自法庭相识后，卡尔登常出入梅尼特医生家；但他“样子老是郁郁寡欢，阴阳怪气”，当他高兴讲话时，他讲得很好；可是一种不高兴的乌云，老是致命地笼罩着他，很难得为他内心的光明所照透。法国世袭大贵族厄弗里蒙特候爵是查理·代尔那的叔父。这人约六十岁，衣著华丽，态度骄傲，脸孔有如一张精致的假面具，苍白而透明。鼻尖上有两点小小的凹涡。他整个容貌，“现出一种狡诈和残酷的神气”。有一天，他离开巴黎豪华的府第到乡间别墅去。在路上，他的马车辗死了一个小孩，便和在场的穷人发生了冲突。侯爵却怪死者的父亲不该让孩子乱跑，扭伤了他的马。然后，他扔出一枚金币，便驱车走了。他写信给英国的侄儿代尔那，要他回国处理财产问题。代尔那回来了，他和叔父进行了一番不愉快的谈话。他反对叔父那样专横和残酷地对待农民。他说：“我们曾经胡作非为，现在正在收获罪恶的果实”，贵族豪华的家业，“只不过是一座由浪费、糊涂、勒索、放债、典当、压迫、饥饿、贫穷和苦恼所堆积起来的破塔”。他要放弃自己的产业和贵族地位，长期定居到英国。叔侄争吵后，代尔那便返回英国去了。

代尔那靠自己的努力，在英国成为一个精通法国文学的教授。他从法庭受审那天起，就爱上了露茜。一个夏天的下午，他找了个机会向梅尼特医生倾吐了自己的衷曲。他的真诚的爱情感动了老人。他同意代尔那追求露茜，但不允许他说出自己的真实的姓氏。代尔那不明白其中奥秘，感到很惊异。

律师史曲勒孚，生得身材肥短，声音洪亮，满面红光，他的每一个毛孔都流露出可厌的得意非凡的气慨；无论交朋友或谈话，他都有一种挤上前去的习惯，这颇可说明他的生活道路是如何挤上来的。他以自己的声名和地位作为恋爱的资本，向露茜求婚。但露茜拒绝了他。卡尔登也爱上了露茜，但他认为自己是一堆能燃烧、而不能发光的材料，不能给她带来幸福，因此放弃了对她的追求。但他向露茜表示：愿为她牺牲生命来成全她所爱的生命。

露茜爱代尔那。不久后，他们举行了婚礼。接着，又到乡间去作蜜月旅行。梅尼特医生在女儿离开后，又失去了理智，重新坐在窗前做着鞋子。劳雷想方设法，才在九天后恢复了他的健康。他并未把这件事，告诉新婚夫妇。

一七八九年，法国大革命爆发了。巴黎圣安东尼区沸腾起来了。人们全拿起了武器。得代石夫妇是起义人民的领袖，他们的小酒铺就象是一锅沸水的旋涡的中心。得代石满身沾濡着火药和汗水，发命令、发武器，出现在最需要他出现的地方。武装的群众向法国最大的监狱巴士的狱进攻。得代石特地到北边高楼关押梅尼特医生的一○五号房间搜查，意外地得到一封医生在理智清醒时所写的控告侯爵的信。他把它收藏起来。起义群众放火烧了监狱，还烧了厄弗里蒙特侯爵府第，枪杀了一大批贵族和官吏。革命烈火蔓延到全国城镇和乡村。法国到处是人声鼎沸，烽烟滚滚。

代尔那在伦敦接到法国的一封来信。信是他过去的管家盖白勒写的。代尔那的叔父已在革命前夕被农民刺杀了。盖白勒被本村农民监禁起来了。盖白勒希望他的小主人回去救他。代尔那为了不使管家受累，又自恃已放弃贵族特权，便瞒着妻子和梅尼特医生，只身回到法国。

代尔那一踏上法国土地就失去了自由。起义的群众认为他是贵族，把他押赴巴黎受审。梅尼特医生闻讯后，立即从伦敦赶赴巴黎营救。梅尼特凭自己关在巴士的狱十八年的苦难和崇高的声望，使代尔那获得了释放。但代尔那旋即又被逮捕了。

第二天，法庭开庭审判。原告竟是梅尼特医生自己和得代石夫妇。梅尼特医生十分震惊，立即提出否认。这时，得代石却不慌不忙地读了一封梅尼特在监狱中亲笔写的控告信（这便是得代石在攻打巴士的狱时，从北边高楼上捡到的。）

控告信记述：在一七五七年十二月，一个有云的月夜，梅尼特医生被豪门贵族厄弗里蒙特侯爵兄弟请去看病。病人是一个年青美丽的女人，她的双手被贵族的腰带和手巾紧紧缚着，她已神志昏迷了，但嘴里还不停地喊着：“我的丈夫，我的父亲，和我的兄弟！”在另一间房里，关着一个少年，他受了致命的剑伤，已奄奄一息了。但他还挣扎着向医生说出他被迫害的经过：他的一家都是厄弗里蒙特侯爵兄弟的佃户，长期以来，这些贵族对农民的贞操和品德有任意破坏和蹂躏的权利。厄弗里蒙特的弟弟（即代尔那叔父）为了霸占少年的姐姐（即医生看到的那位昏迷的女人），逼死了她的新婚的丈夫。少年气愤不过进行复仇，却被侯爵弟弟刺成重伤„„这位少年受伤者把事情的经过说完后，便断气了。过了一星期，那位少年的姐姐也死了。她留下了一个妹妹，即后来的得伐石太太。侯爵兄弟当时用一小盒黄金收买梅尼特医生，要他不要把事情声张出去。梅尼特医生回家后，出于义愤，还是把他所看到的写了一封揭发信交给一位政府大臣。可是那封信竟落到侯爵兄弟的手里。在一天晚上，医生被侯爵兄弟绑架了。他们当他的面把揭发信烧了。接着，医生被送进巴士的狱。从此，他再也没有见到自己的亲人了，人们都以为他失踪了。

梅尼特医生在监狱中过着暗无天日的生活。他把这件血案和自己的遭遇全部写在揭发信上。立誓要控告厄弗里蒙特侯爵的罪恶。可是，他一直没有找到

这样的机会。十八年过去了。医生由于失去了理智，已记不清有这份控告信了。在得伐石宣读控告信后，革命法庭便判处代尔那死刑，并在二十四小时内执行。劳雷先生和特地从伦敦赶来的卡尔登想尽办法营救代尔那，都宣告失败。于是，卡尔登决定实现自己的诺言，以牺牲自己的生命来成全他所爱的人的幸福。他吻了一下已昏厥的露茜，便走出门去了。

在一家小酒店里。卡尔登找到了英国间谍巴尔塞。巴尔塞怕他告发，答应和他合谋。在巴尔塞的帮助下，卡尔登混进了关押代尔那的监狱。他以自己面貌和代尔那相似，想顶替代尔那受刑，让代尔那逃走。当代尔那拒绝时，卡尔登便用麻醉药使代尔那失去知觉，互换了服装，由巴尔塞把代尔那偷运出狱去。早已等候在狱外的劳雷，便保护着露茜、梅尼特医生和昏迷的代尔那，以卡尔登的护照，离开了法国。

与此同时，得伐石太太想以同犯人通信号的罪名捉拿露茜，可是露茜已走了，仅一保姆普洛斯留下。得伐石太太和保姆扭打，结果得伐石太太因枪弹走火，被打死。

最后，卡尔登从容地走上了断头台。他认为：“我现在所作的比我曾经作过的都更好。”

双城记英文观后感(精选多篇)第一篇：双城记 爱—幸福的基本元素-----------双城记观后感

itwasthebestoftimes,itwastheworstoftimesitwastheseasonoflight,itwastheseasonofdarknessitwasthespringofhope,itwasthewinterofsadnessitwastheyearonethousandsevenhundredandseventy-five不得不承认这本书的开头就深深地吸引了无数人。书的开头就如那个错综复杂，矛盾。

《双城记》以法国贵族的荒淫残暴、人民群众的重重苦难和法国大革命的历史，来影射当时的英国社会现实，充分展现了两座城市的状况。《双城记》被誉为描写法国大革命的最杰出的代表作，我想最大的原因可能是因为它的与众不同。和其他的作品，比如卡莱尔的《法国大革命》不同，狄更斯更注重的是底层人民的喜怒哀乐。尽管在那个时代，这些小人物本身并不能引起世界的关注。但是作者敏锐的捕捉到这些小人物和大革命有着千丝万缕的联系，可以说法国大革命本身就是有小人物们的力量所引发的。

在这部作品里，我看到了很多很多不同的人。;lucie是爱和温情的化身;drmanette正直高尚，且善良宽容，是仁爱的理想化身忠厚老实的lorry豪爽忠诚的missprosscharlsdarnay是给统治阶级指明出路的人。这些人物表现出来的种种美德，都是作为人道主义者的狄更斯所热情赞颂的。扭曲了人性的德发奇太太，残忍阴险的埃佛瑞蒙兄弟……复杂的仇恨纠缠不清，残忍的复仇制造了更多仇恨，爱在地狱的边缘再生，却是以生命为代价。这错综复杂的一幕幕，活生生的展现在面前，仿佛重现了那个失去理智的时代。

《双城记》作为一部不朽的著作，如果drmanette的存在和所作所为，这部小说就失去了它的价值和光辉。它提醒了我们：真正的自由与平等是无法用断头台建立。

dralexandrenmanette的身世很值得人去琢磨，到底受到多大的冤屈，多大的经历，多大的思想创伤，都令我们去思考。十八年的牢狱生活不仅摧毁了他的身体健康，也使得他的精神遭受严重的伤害。十八年不见阳光，不知外面冷暖的日子，没人任何亲人的消息，没有任何人间的温暖的牢狱里，他依然保持着那颗正直高尚的心。即使经历了那样不公平的待遇，他并没有像madamedefarge那般有一种惧怕的感觉，冰冷、毫无人情，充满仇恨。他受到女儿的关心后，恢复成一个正常的人，并继续发扬着他救死扶伤的医者精神。没有沉浸在复仇的泥塘里，而是尽情地享受和心爱的女儿，友好忠诚的朋友在一起的美好时光。我十分敬佩他，也非常欣赏他的正直，宽容。更是被他的明智，通情达理深深感动。哪怕知道charlsdarnay就是让他无辜遭罪的贵族的儿子，他依然将自己心爱的女儿交与了他，不为别的只为他们真心相爱，为他能带给善良的lucie幸福快乐。他最终展现的，是一位作为父亲，用爱关心自己的女儿的情节中我们可以感受到爱是人间最好的疗伤药。他无疑是不幸的，但是他的不幸是残暴的法国统治阶级和残忍的贵族造成的。是那个糟糕的时代的造成的。但是我们还是能明显的感觉到他的幸运。而他的幸运是他自己创造的。即使经历了十八年的痛苦生活，尽管他的精神确实收到严重的打击。他却不选择报复。就是这个明智的选择让他拥有了幸福。难道我们不该赞扬他，向他学习吗？

“复活在我，生命在我，信我的人，虽然死了，也必复活;凡活着信我的人，必永远不死。”这就是狄更斯为“最坏的时代”开出的良药，然而这毕竟是一种理想。有人说，鲜血无法洗去仇恨，更不能替代爱---贵族的暴虐对平民造成的伤痛不会因为鲜血而愈合，平民对贵族的仇恨也无法替代对已逝亲人的爱。这本小说悬念很多，铺垫很充实，是那种越看越明白的，就像一条条小溪逐一地汇聚，最后成了奔腾的大江，使人越看越激动，越看越想看。这部作品终究还是善与恶的对抗，善的胜利，令人激动地收场了。同时也让我们深思，复仇到底是否值得人们去做。人们常常歌颂爱的伟大，或许就是因为爱的力量能让深受苦痛的人们重见幸福的光芒吧。

Reading Report of A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles．Dicken(1812～1870）,a famous English novelist, who only had a few years on the school.He become well-known writer, thanks to diligent self-study and hard work..He lived in the transitional period that from the semi-feudal society to industrial capitalist society of England.The background of the novel and the author's life has a close relationship between the times.In reality, Dickens himself had great concern to the French Revolution.His interest in the French Revolution began in England which is lurking in serious social crises at that time.The society of England in later the 19th century was remarkably like the France of later the 18th century.In the novel, with the broad real background of the French Revolution, it profoundly exposed the society contradiction between the poor and aristocrats.The poor suffered from overcrowding, hunger, repetitive labor and long hours of work.Poor peasants were exploited greatly by the aristocrats and they led a terrible life.On the contrary, the aristocrats shared luxurious material plundered from the poor.What’s more, the upper class bullied or even killed the poor without any mercy.So brave peasants rose up and fought against the aristocrats.From the novel , we can easily read about the author's thoughts.He intensely attacks the aristocratic social class which is dissolute and cruel, and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes.About the content, the novel is mainly about three parts: the unjust charge, love and revenge, which are independence but also incident cross-correlation stories together.Dickens portrayed many vivid characters.About positive characters, Dr.Alexandre Manette ,who's experience is taken as the main clue by the author,is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually.Lucie Manette, Doctor Manette's daughter, is beautiful and gentle.Charles Darney is graceful and noble.He is a descendant of French nobility, but dissatisfying with his family's acts of oppression of workers and giving up inheritance rights of property, then he lived in London as a French teacher.Sydney Carton is a talented but cynical British lawyer，who's dual character, one that is both selfless and sensitive, as well as self-pitying and inconsiderate, that makes him one of literature's most fascinating characters.At that time he had began to love Lucie but he did not pursue her for one year.He loved Lucie, but he‟s afraid himself can bring happiness to her.He once told Lucie that“ „If it had been possible, Miss Manette, that you could have returned the love of the man you see before yourself--flung away, wasted, drunken, poor creature of misuse as you know him to be—he would have been conscious this day and hour, in spite of his happiness, that he would bring you misery, bring you to sorrow and repentance , blight you, disgrace you, pull you down with him.I know very well that you can have no tenderness for me, I ask for none, I am even thankful that it cannot be.’” We are easily moved by his sprit: “For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything.If my career were of that better kind that there was any opportunity or capacity of sacrifice in it, I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you.” He just buried his love in his heart deeply.when Darnay was to be killed ,he carried out his promise.In the end of the story , Carton was carried to execution ground, but he was quiet, for his Lucie

and her husband Darnay, he believed he had a splendid life and was worth of loosing his life.Sydney Carton saved Darnay and carried out his promise.Although he was killed instead of Darnay, he wouldn‟t die in our heart.For me, in fact, Sydney Carton made the best and deepest impression on me.And I believe Such unselfish deed was just the one that every reader wanted to appreciate.On the other hand, about negative characters, in the novel, without any hesitation, Dickens exposed what the Evremonde brothers had done.In order to own a peasant woman, the Evremonde brothers forced four innocent peasants to death.While they just signed a piece of paper then they could send anyone to the prison until they let him out.How decaying they were!What‟s more, the earls regarded the poor as animals not human beings.And once when his carriage knocked down a poor child, the aristocrat only cared about his own horses but not the young poor child.When he knew the child was dead, instead of fearing guilt, “It is extraordinary to me,' said he, „that you people cannot take care of yourselves and your children.One or the other of you is forever in the way.How do I know what injury you have done my horses? See!Give him that.' He threw out a gold coin……”.These circumstances made me feel the aristocrats are not human beings at all.How cruel and sinister they are.The author used various kinds of writing techniques, such as flashback(the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities), narration interspersed with flashbacks, foreshadowing, foreshadowing and so on.It made the Structure become complete and tight and the plots become tense and dramatic.Its style is solemn and gloomy.It's full of worried and indignant.What's a pity, in my opinion, the whole novel is the lack of humor.That is a fly in the ointment.The author also use lots of rhetoric.For instance, Dickens began A Tale of Two Cities with this famous sentence: “It was the best of times, it was the worse of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness;it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness;it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, …”It is a typical example of parallel structures.Ten used in conjunction by the “it was...” constitutes a sentence to form a perfect parallel structure(which includes five sets of pairs of dual sentence).It described the spirit of the era in which this novel takes place and was easy to take the reader into the specific circumstances at the time of that era.In addition, there are many a good sentences.For example, at the end of the novel, When Carlton was in exchange for his loved Lucie 's happiness with his own lives that he calmly embarked on a guillotine, and said that: It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done;it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.I was really touched by his great spirit.Many people think that love is selfish, but Sydney Carton tell us there is the purest and loftiest love in the word, although it is hidden in the deep of the heart , it is profound;although it bear a lot of torture, it make his lover happy;although it is to devote selflessly, it is not waiting for payback.This kind of love has reached a new height, it is beautiful with a little cheerless, it must become classic love.Another example, “Sadly, sadly, the sun rose;it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away.”(Book 2, Chapter 5), it‟s a theory of Sydney's view of himself.In conclusion, reading between the lines, I began to understand the position of humanitarian was important in Dickens‟ novels.He had a firm and obvious distinguish between mercy and evil.In A Tale of Two Cities, he showed deep sympathy to the poor.On the other hand, he strongly condemned the feudal aristocrats‟ behaviors.In the novel, we can read his thoughts that no matter the person was rich or poor, if his behaviors agreed with morality, it should be praised.If not, then it should be criticized.More important is we can’t deny that some of Dickens’ views about humanitarian are still worth appreciating and leaning today.That is, we should agree that humanitarian is important to us.And only“love makes the world go round”.
