首先一起来读王尔德《道林格雷的画像》,犀利的语言让人叹服。惊叹他的语音之美,感受到小说中的Lord Henry简直是他自己化身——能够让谬论散发出真理般的光彩。

仅仅读了一部分就发现那么多的经典的句子(英文原版,我觉得我的打字速度快了很多)

But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.(P3)

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.(P10)

...the worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic.(P11)

Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passion.... (P20)

Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder when I hear it. Women are so fond of it. They spoil every romance by trying to make it last for ever. (P29)

Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic. ( P42)

I can sympathise with everything, except suffering. ( P47)

Reality entered the room in the shape of a servant to tell the Duchess that her carriage was waiting.

But there is no literary public in England for anything except newspapers, primers, and encyclopaedias. (P50)

He was always late on priciple, his priciple being that puntuality is the thief of time. ( P52)

......

他感觉现在是真正做决定的时候了。或许,他已经做出了选择?生活以及他对生活无限的好奇为他做出了选择。永恒的青春,无尽的感情、微妙而隐秘的快乐、狂欢和更疯狂的罪恶——一切都为他所拥有。可他耻辱的包袱将由画像承担——这就是一切。

你拥有青春的时候,就要感受它。不要虚掷你的黄金时代,不要去倾听枯燥乏味的东西,不要设法挽救无望的失败,不要把你的生命献给无知、平庸和低俗。这些都是我们时代病态的目标,虚假的理想。王尔德是通过亨利把自己的人生观倾诉了出来。

美与道德总会发生矛盾的,有时候,美本身就是一种毒药,王尔德其实心里太清楚这个了,但是他没有办法战胜自己的性格缺陷,于是他从不可一世的社交名流,变成了一个声名狼藉的人,他自己也说过,If I can't be famous, at least I can be nortorious.看这本书,你可以想象一个活生生的王尔德,怎样悠然自得地行走于伦敦上层社会的社交场合,用一串一串的妙语蛊惑人心,展现自己的魅力,享受公众的瞩目。

其实,今天那些所谓的妙语连珠通俗讲就是段子,王尔德还有一个隐藏身份那就是——段子手,犀利的段子手。

这么厉害的段子手,我们怎能错过他的段子呢?他的段子都是有文化的段子,看似段子其实,一针见血,句句扎心。

经典段子,老铁看看扎心不,扎心双击666。

1、I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.

我喜欢自言自语,因为这样节约时间,而且不会有人跟我争论。

2、What is the chief cause of divorce? Marriage.

什么是离婚的主要原因?结婚。

3、Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.

男女之间不可能存在友谊,有的只是爱恨情仇。

4、"The happiness of a married man depends on the people he has not married."

已婚男人的快乐来自那些他没有娶的人。

5、"When I was young,I used to think that money was the most important thing in life, now that I am old, I know it is."

我年轻时以为金钱是世界上最重要的东西,等到老了才知道,原来真的是这样。

6、"Always borrow money from a pessimist.He won't expect it back."

借钱就要向悲观主义者借,因为他们不会期待你还钱。

我自己的最喜欢的还是这句:We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

他广为流传的那些“名言”,其中一些由于非常直白,对比人们习惯使用的虚伪言辞,就显得极为可贵。

认同他那些话的人,觉得他机智、幽默、真实。

不认同的人则认为他的那些言论缺乏善意和教养。

我所理解的他,是一个远比绝大多数人更善良和浪漫的天才。
