[多里安·格雷的画像 / 奥斯卡·王尔德著]
The PictureofDorianGrayby Oscar Wilde

■ 简介
一个人的画像是否比他的面孔更多地反映他自己？如果画像是用爱的画笔描绘的，或许
它能反映这个人外表以外更多的东西——或许它能反映这个人的内心世界。
我们经常说脸像一本书，能自己讲述故事。当多里安·格雷看到画像中自己的面孔时，
便爱上了自己的美貌。任何事物都不能损害他的美貌，任何事物都不能伤害或改变它——爱
不能，甚至时间也不能。因此，他切断了他的脸和内心、他的外表和内在世界的联系。他的
脸没有改变，总是年轻、漂亮。但是这幅画像——用爱的画笔描绘的画像——却在讲述着真
实的故事。它才是真实的多里安·格雷——一天天变老、变丑并满怀恨意。
奥斯卡·王尔德（1854——1900）是爱尔兰最杰出最聪颖的作家。他的剧本和儿童故
事，以及《多里安·格雷的画像》虽然是近一百年前的作品，但至今仍受读者喜爱。

it stood the artist himself，Basil Hallward．
'It's your best work，Basil，the best portrait that you've ever painted，' said Lord Henry
lazily．'You must send it to the best art gallery in London．'
'No，'Basil said slowly．'No，I won't send it anywhere．'
Lord Henry was surprised．'But my dear Basil，why not？'he asked．'What strange people you
artists are！You want to be famous，but then you're not happy when you are famous．It's bad
when people talk about you—but it's much worse when they don't talk about you．'
'I know you'll laugh at me，'replied Basil，'but I can't exhibit the picture in an art gallery．I've
put too much of myself into it．'
Lord Henry laughed．'Too much of yourself into it！You don't look like him at all．He has a fair
and beautiful face．And you—well，you look intelligent，of course，but with your strong face and
black hair，you are not beautiful．'
'You don't understand me，Harry，'replied Basil．（ Lord Henry's friends always called him
Harry．） 'Of course I'm not like him，'Basil continued．'In fact，I prefer not to be beautiful．Dorian
Gray's beautiful face will perhaps
