文档介绍：谁是洛丽塔?
弗拉基米尔?纳博科夫(Vladimir Nabokov, 1899~1977)出生于俄罗斯圣彼得堡的贵族之家,十月革命后随家人流亡欧洲。他曾经在剑桥三一学院读书,毕业后在欧洲大陆当过私人教师,同时开始文学创作。1940年,纳博科夫移居美国,曾在康奈尔大学和哈佛大学等名校执教。纳博科夫有过人的语言及文学天分,虽然英语不是他的母语,但他用英语创作时却将这种语言的精致复杂表现得淋漓尽致。他的代表作有《洛丽塔》(Lolita)、《普宁》(Pnin)、《微暗的火》(Pale Fire)等。其中《洛丽塔》完成于1953年,由于内容敏感,在美国找不到出版商,1955年改由法国出版商于巴黎首次发行,1958年才终于登陆美国市场。1962年,电影大师斯坦利?库布里克(Stanley Kubrick, 1928~1999)将它搬上了银幕。1998年,《洛丽塔》入选美国兰登书屋“20世纪百佳英文小说”,排名第四。

ead looked smaller (only two seconds had passed really, but let me give them as much wooden duration as life can stand), and her pale-freckled cheeks were hollowed, and her bare shins and arms had lost their tan, so that the little hairs showed. She wore a brown, sleeveless cotton dress and sloppy5) felt slippers.
