United Kingdom - Pride and Prejudice

英国：《傲慢与偏见》

Pride and Prejudice is kind of a literary Rosetta Stone, the inspiration, basis, and model for so many modern novels. You’re probably more familiar with its plot and characters than you think. For a book written in the early 19th century, it’s modernity is surprising only until you realize that this is the novel that in many ways defined what a modern novel is.

傲慢与偏见》可以说是文学界的一块罗塞塔石碑，同时也是许多现代小说的模板，所以你对其中的情节和人物可能比你自己想象中要熟悉。作为一本写于19世纪的书，它的现代性是非常惊人的，而你稍作了解之后就会知道，这是因为现代小说在很大程度上就是被这本书定义的。

Ireland - Ulysses

爱尔兰：《尤利西斯》

Ulysses did “stream of consciousness” before the term existed, and it’s also a sprawling¹ novel dense² with allusions³, wordplay, obscure jokes, and intensely, opaquely⁴ personal ruminations by the characters.

尤利西斯》在“意识流”这个概念出现之前就开始使用它了。同时，它也是一本相当错综复杂的小说，充满了隐喻、文字游戏、隐晦的玩笑、以及角色们欲说还休的个人沉思。

France - The Three Musketeers

法国：《三个火枪手》

The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical and adventure novel. However, Dumas also frequently works into the plot various injustices⁵, abuses, and absurdities⁶ of the old regime, giving the novel an additional political aspect at a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce.

三个火枪手》基本上是一本历史冒险小说。不过，大仲马也频繁地在其中描写旧政权的不公、暴行与荒唐；当时的法国正在激烈地争论共和制与君主制孰是孰非，这使得这本小说在彼时有着一层政治色彩。
