文档介绍：The Picture of Dorian Gray
多里安·格雷的画像
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。

　　Through the open windows of the room came the rich scent of summer
flowers．Lord Henry Wotton lay back in his chair and smoked his
cigarette．Beyond the soft sounds of the garden he could just hear the noise
of London．
　　In the centre of the room there was a portrait of a very beautiful young
man，and in front of 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
