  1 David Copperfield"s childhood I wasborn at Blunderstone , in Suffolk , in the east of England , and was given my poor father"s name , David Copperfield . Sadly , he never saw me He was much older than my mother when they married , and died six months before I was born . My father"s death made my beautiful young mother very unhappy and she knew she would find life extremely difficult with a new baby and no husband The richest and most important person in our family was myfather"s aunt , Miss Betsey Trotwood. She had in fact been married once , to a handsome young husband. But because he demanded money from her , and sometimes beat her she decided they should separate He went abroad and soon news came of his death.Miss Trotwood bought a small house by the sea , and lived there alone , with only one servant . She had not spoken to myfather since his marriage , because she considered he had made a mistake in marrying a very young girl But just before I was born , when she heard that my mother was expecting a baby , she came to visit Blunderstone. 特拉伍德小姐在海边买了一所小房子,独自 生活在那里,身边只随了一位用人。自从我父亲结婚 后她就不理睬我父亲了,因为她认为我父亲娶这么年 轻的小姐做妻子是个错误。然而,在我出生前,当她 听说我母亲临产时,就来到布兰德斯通拜访我们。It was a cold , windy Friday afternoon in March .

 我知道我年纪还小,不该为人妻,不该为人母!但也 许我会在成为一个母亲之前死去!

I"m going to send her to school , and educate her well . I want to prevent her from making the mistakes I"ve made in life ." Miss Betsey looked quite angry as she said this . My mother said nothing , as she was not feeling at all well. ‘ But tell me , were you and your husband happy ?" asked Miss Betsey . This made my poor mother feel worse than I know I wasn"t very sensible — about !

The doctor arrived soon afterwards , and stayed all evening to take care of his patient. At about midnight he camedownstairs to sitting - room where Miss Betsey was waiting impatiently . ‘ Well , doctor, what"s the news ?

 ‚别犯傻,当然应该是她,我会送她 上学,让她接受良好的教育。我要让我生活中所犯的 错误避免在她身上重演。

 ?贝茜小姐说此话时显得很 愤怒。母亲没吭声,因为她感觉不太舒服。

 ‚好吧, 告诉我,你和你丈夫过得幸福吗? ? 贝茜小姐问道。

 这个问题让我母亲更感难受。

 ‚我知道我很 不开窍 ——在钱方面,做饭方面,等等!

 辟果提正巧端着茶进来,意识到情况的严重 性,把我母亲扶到楼上。医生随即叫到,并彻夜守护 着病人。

  , and never came back . 再登门。That was how I was born. My early childhood was extremely happy , as my beautiful mother and kind Peggotty took care of me. But when I was about eight , a shadowpassed over myhappiness. Mymother often went out walking , in her best clothes , with a gentleman called Mr Murdstone . He had black hair , a big black moustache and an unpleasant smile , and seemedto be very fond of my mother. But I knew that Peggotty did not like him . 就这样我来到了世上。

 孩提时的我非常幸福, 因为有我美丽的母亲和善良的辟果提照顾我。然而, 在我 8 岁左右,我的幸福生活开始蒙上了阴影。我母 亲经常穿着最好的衣服,和一位叫摩德斯通的先生出 去散步。那人有一头黑发,留一大撇黑胡子,笑容阴 沉,似乎很喜欢我母亲。但我知道辟果提不喜欢他。

  Whenwe got down from the cart in Yarmouth , after our journey , Peggotty said , ‘ That"s the house , Master David !" I looked all round , but could only see anold ship on the sand. ‘ Is that — that your brother"s house ?" I asked in delight. And whenwereached it , I saw it had doors and windows and a chimney , just like a real house . I could not imagine a nicer place to live. Everything was clean and tidy , and smelt of fish . Now I was introduced to the Peggotty family . There was Daniel Peggotty , a kind old sailor . Although he was not married , he had adopted two orphans , who lived with him and called him Uncle . Ham Peggotty was a large young man with a gentle smile , and Emily was a beautiful , blue-eyed little girl. They all welcomed Peggotty and me 我环顾四周,只看见沙滩上的一艘旧船,便 高兴地问道:

 ‚那个—— 那个就是你兄弟的家? ?我 们走到近处一看,船上有门,有窗,有烟囱,俨然是 一所名符其实的住房。我再也想像不出比这更好的住 处了。屋内一切陈设干净、整齐,散发着鱼味。这时, 我被介绍给辟果提一家。家里有丹尼尔“辟果提,一 位善良的老水手,他没有结婚,但收养了两个孤儿。

 孩子们和他生活在一起,管他叫叔叔。哈姆 “ 辟果提 是一位壮小伙子,脸上总是现出亲切的笑容,埃米莉 是一位美丽的姑娘,长着一对蓝眼睛。他们都热情地 欢迎我和辟果提的到来。warmly .I spent a wonderfully happy two weeks there , playing all day on the beach with Emily and sleeping in my own little bed on the ship. I am sure I was in love with little Emily in my childish 在这儿的两个星期我过得相当愉快,整天和 埃米莉在海滩上玩,夜里就睡在船屋里我的小床上。

 我相信当时我的确以孩童的方式爱上了小埃米莉。当way , and I cried bitterly whenwehad to say goodbye 假日结束我俩不得不道别时我哭得很伤心。

 at the end of the holiday A few months later Peggotty told me that my mother was going to have a short holiday with some friends. Meanwhile Peggotty and I would go to stay with her brother Daniel in Yarmouth , on the east coast , for two weeks . I was very excited when we climbed into the cart , although it was sad saying goodbye to my mother . Mr Murdstone was at her shoulder , waving goodbye , as the driver called his horse , and we drove out of the village . to 几个月后,辟果提告诉我,母亲要和几位朋 友出去度短假。辟果提可以趁此机会带我去东海岸的 雅茅斯镇和她兄弟丹尼尔生活两个星期 我兴奋不已,虽然与母亲分手有些伤感 生和我母亲并肩站着,向我们挥手道别 夫吆喝一声,把我们拉出村去。

 Peggotty looked at me very worriedly. ‘ Master 地看着我。

 ‚ 大卫少爷,亲爱的, ? 她突然说道,声 David , my dear , " she said suddenly in a trembling 音颤抖,‚我必须告诉你 ------------- 你现在该知道了

 He"s your stepfather now !

 …我们离家的这段时间,你亲爱的母亲嫁给了摩德斯通 先生!他如今已是你的继父了!

 ?I was deeply shocked . I could notunderstand how my mother could have married that man . And when we arrived home , I could not help showing my mother how very miserable I was . I went straight to my room and lay sobbing on mybed , which made my poor mother very unhappy too . As she sat beside me , holding myhand , Mr Murdstone suddenly 我非常震惊, 不明白母亲怎么会嫁给那个人 我们回到家后,我控制不住自己,让母亲看出了我有 多痛苦。我径直走进我的卧室,倒在床上哭泣,弄得 我可怜的母亲也伤心起来。正当她坐在我床边,拉着 我的手时,摩德斯通先生突然走了进来。came in . ‘ What"s this , Chara , my love ?" he asked ‚怎么了,克拉拉,我亲爱的? ?他严肃地 sternly . ‘ Remember you must be firm with the boy !说道,‚记住,对孩子应该严厉点!我已经跟你说过, I"ve told you before , you"re too weak with him !" 你太娇惯他了!

 ? ‘ Oh yes , Edward , I"m afraid you"re right ," my mother replied quickly .‘ I"m very sorry . I"ll try to be firmer with him ." And when ‚哦,是的,爱德华,恐怕你是对的, ?母she left the room , Mr Murdstone whispered angrily to me , ‘ David , do you knowwhat I"ll do if you don"t obey me ? I"ll beat you like a dog !

 " I was still very young , and I was very frightened of him . If he had said one kind word to me , perhaps I would have liked and trusted him , and my life would have been different. Instead , I hated him for the influence he had over my dear mother , who wanted to be kind to me , but also wanted to please her new husband . 亲赶紧答道, ‚我很抱歉,我会尽量对他严厉些。

 她离开房间后,摩德斯通先生压低声音,愤愤地说道, ‚大卫,你知道你要是不听话我会怎么对待你吗?我 会像揍一条狗一样揍你!

 ?我当时还小,很怕他。当 时他要是跟我说上一句和蔼的话,或许我会喜欢他, 信任他,我后来的生活也就会完全不同。然而,我恨 他给我亲爱的母亲施加压力,她总想好好待我,可还 得讨好她的新丈夫。That evening Mr Murdstone"s sister arrived to ‘ help " mymother in the house .

 everything was being done just as she wished. 2 David is sent away to school 2 大卫被送往学校 I was very unhappy during this time. Mr Murdstone insisted on mystudying , and so mymother 这段时期我很不愉快。摩德斯通先生坚持要 gave melessons . In the past she and I had enjoyed 我学习,所以母亲就教我功课。在过去,母亲和我都 our studies together , and she had taught me a lot 可以从教和学当中得到乐趣,她用她温和的方式教给 in her gentle way.

 ‘ Oh , Edward, I"m sorry, " my mother replied, looking embarrassed and hanging her head like a guilty child . One morning when I arrived in the sittingroom as usual for my lesson , I saw that Mr Murd stone had a thin stick in his hand. I could not take my eyes off it. 他的脾气惯得更糟!

 ? ‚哦,爱德华,很抱歉, ?母亲答道,满脸 尴尬,像一个认错的孩子似地低下了头。

 一天早上,我像往常一样来到客厅学功课, 看见摩德斯通先生手上拿着一根细木棍,我的眼睛直 钩钩地盯着它不放。‘ You must be very careful today , David, " he said with his unpleasant smile , holding the ‚你今天要非常小心,大卫, ?他冷笑道, stick in both hands .

 " I cried. ‘ Don"t beat me !

 I"ve tried to learn , really I have, sir !" But he did not listen to me. In my bedroom , he held my arms and started hitting me with the stick. I managed to get hold of his hand , and bit ‚好了,大卫, ?他严厉地说, ‚ 我想你今 天够难为你母亲的了,我们上楼吧,孩子,来吧。

 ‚求 您了,摩德斯通先生!

 ?我哭道, ‚别打我!学习我 尽了努力,我真的尽了努力,先生!

In the evening Miss Murdstone brought mesome bread and milk , which she left on the floor beside me , frowning angrily at me as she went out. I was kept locked in that room for five days and nights , and saw nobody except Miss Murdstone , who brought me food but never spoke to me. To a small boy , the five days seemedlike years , and I can still rememberhow frightened and guilty I felt . But during the fifth night I heard a strange noise at the key-hole. It was Peggotty , trying to give me a message‘ Master David , my dear , " she whispered, sobbing ,‘ they are going to send you away to boarding school !

 Tomorrow !" ‚大卫少爷, 亲爱的,?她低声抽泣道, 们要把你送到寄宿学校去!明天!

 I"ll stay with her although I hate these Murdstones. And remember David, I love you as much as I love your mother and more. And I"ll Write to you. "‘ Thank you , dear Peggotty !" I whispered back, tears rolling down my face. ‘ Will you write to your brother too , and Ham , and little Emily, and tell them I"m not as bad as the Murdstones think ? And send my love to them , especially little Emily ?" ‚谢谢你,亲爱的辟果提!

 ?我轻声回答, 泪水滚落到脸颊。

 ‚请你也写信给你的兄弟,还有哈 姆,小埃米莉,告诉他们我并不像摩德斯通姐弟认为 的那么坏。带给他们我的问候,特别是小埃米莉,好 吗??Peggotty promised to do what I asked. The next morning Miss Murdstone told methat because of 辟果提答应了我的请求。第二天一早,摩德 my wickedness I was going away to school . She had 斯通小姐告诉我,由于我的劣行,我要被送往学校。

 Peggotty running after us on the road. The driver我一动不动地在地上躺了很长时间。晚上, 摩德斯通小姐给我拿来一些面包和牛奶,放在我身边 的地上,出门时还生气地冲我皱皱眉头。我被锁在房 间里五天五夜,其间除了摩德斯通小姐默不作声地给 我送点食物,未见有其他任何人来。对一个孩子来说, 这五天时间简直就像数年,我至今还记得当时有多恐 惧、有多内疚。第五天夜里,我听到有一个奇怪的声 音从锁眼里传来。那是辟果提,设法给我送口信来了。

 哦!辟果提!

 stopped and waited for her. With difficulty she climbed up onto the cart. ‘ Here , Master David !" she cried breathlessly. ‘ A little present from me and your dear mother !

 Take care of yourself , my dear !" She put a small purse and a paper bag into my hands , and held me so close to her fat body that I thought I would never breathe again. Then she jumped down and ran back along the road to the village . As we continued our journey , I dried my tears and looked at what she had given me. The bag was full of Peggotty " s special cakes , and in the purse were eight bright shilling coins. Thinking my mother and Peggotty made me start crying again but just then the driver, Mr Barkis, began to talk to me. He was a large ,red-faced man, who clearly found conversation difficult. 我们继续往前赶路,我擦于泪水,打开她给 我的东西。

 纸袋里是辟果提做的拿手糕点, 钱包里有 8 先令闪亮的硬币。一想到母亲和辟果提我又一次哭起 来。这时,车夫巴克斯先生开始说话了。他是一位红 脸壮汉,显然很不擅长与人交谈。

 ‘ Did she make those cakes ?" he asked slowly , having finished the one that I had offered him.‘ You mean Peggotty , sir ? Yes, she does all our cooking. " ‘ Does she ?" replied Mr Barkis with great interest. There was a long silence while he considered his next question . ‘ Does she have a young man ?" he asked .‘ Youknow , someonewhowants to marry her ?" ‘ Peggotty ? A young man ?" I repeated , surprised. ‘ Oh no,she"s never had any young men. " ‘ Ah !

 " replied Mr Barkis , looking very pleased. Again he thought for a long time before speaking. ‘ Well ," he said at last, ‘ perhaps if you write to her — will you be writing to her ? You could give her a message from me. You could say ‚ Barkis is willing ?. Would you do that ?" ‚你是指辟果提吧,先生?是的,我们家的 饭菜全是由她做的。

 ? ‚是吗? ?巴克斯先生饶有兴趣地应了一 句。沉默了好一会儿,他想好了另一个问题。

 ‚她有小伙子吗? ?他问。

 ‚就是,有没有 人想娶她? ? ‚辟果提?小伙子? ?我不解地重复道, ‚哦,没有,她从未有过任何小伙子。

 ? ‚噢!

 ?巴克斯先生答道,面露喜色。他又 想了很长时间才开口说话。

 ‚那么, ?他最后说道, ‚或许你给她写信 时—— 你会给她写信吧?你可以替我捎个信,你写上 ‘巴克斯很愿意 ",可以吗? ?‘‚ Barkis is willing ?," I repeated innocently , wondering what the message meant. ‘ Yes ,of course. But you could tell her yourself , Mr Barkis, when you return to Blunderstone tomorrow . " ‚‘ 巴克斯很愿意 ",?我天真地重复道, 捉摸着这句话的意思。

 ‚可以,当然。可你可以自己 告诉她呀,巴克斯先生,等你明天回到布兰德斯通的 时候。?No , no " he said, ‘ no,you just give her 不,不, ?他说, ‚不,你只管给她写上“给你,大卫少爷!

 ”她上气不接下气地说 道,“这是我和你亲爱的母亲留给你的小礼物!好好 照顾自己,亲爱的!

 ” 她把一个小钱包和一个纸袋塞 给我,又把我紧紧地贴到她肥胖的怀里,当时我觉得 可能再也喘不上气了。然后,她跳下车,沿着马路跑 回了村庄。

 of “是她做的这些点心? 块蛋糕后,不紧不慢地问道。

 the message. Remember , ‚ Barkis is willing After this conversation Mr Barkis was completely silent for the rest of the journey. Whe we arrived in Yarmouth , I bought paper at the hotel and wrote this letter to Peggotty :

 My dear Peggotty , I have arrived safely in Yarmouth. Barkis is willing. Please give my love to mother. Yours , David P.S. He says it"s important — Barkis is willing. In Yarmouth I was put on the long - dista n ce coach to London , and travelled all through the 在雅茅斯我被送上一辆去伦敦的长途四轮马 night. At the coach station in London I was 车,行驶了一整夜。在伦敦车站,有位叫梅尔先生的 collected by a teacher , Mr Mell, and taken to Salem 教师接待了我,并把我送到萨伦学校,那是摩德斯通 House , the school which the Murdstones had chosen 先生为我选定的学校。

 for me. The school was a large old building with a dusty playground , surrounded by a high brick wall. It looked strangely deserted. I was very surprised 学校由一幢很大的旧楼和一片杂乱的操场组 to find that none of the boys were there , and was 成,四周围着很高的砖墙。我很奇怪,学校里空无一 told that they were all on holiday , and that I had 人,后被告知,学生们都放假了,而我却在假期里被 been sent there during the holidays as a punishment 送到学校是对我的劣行的一种惩罚。校长和老师们也 for my wickedness. The headmaster and teachers were 都放假了,除了这位不得不照看我的梅尔先生以外on holiday too , all except for Mr Mell, who had to look after me. I spent a whole month in that miserable place , doing my lessons in the dirty , empty classroom, which smelt of old food and unwashed boys. Every evening I had to eat my supper with Mr Mell , and then go straight to bed. The worst thing was the sign I had to wear round my neck. It said BE CAREFU !

 L HEBITES. I was only allowed to take it off when I went to bed. 我在这个糟糕的地方呆了整整一个月,在肮 脏不堪的空教室里做功课,闻着食物霉烂的气味和那 种没洗干净的孩子身上的臭味。每天晚上我都得和梅 尔先生一起吃晚饭,然后直接上床睡觉。最糟糕的是 :

 我必须在脖子上挂块牌子,牌子上写有 ‚小心,他咬 :

 人?的字样。只有在上床睡觉时这块牌子才允许被摘 下来。Although I was extremely lonely and unhappy at this time , I was not looking forward to meeting 尽管这段时间我感到特别孤单,特别无聊, all the other boys. I felt sure they would laugh at 但我还是不期望见着其他孩子们。我觉得他们肯定会 meand especially at the sign I was forced to wear. 嘲笑我,尤其笑我不得不挂着的那块牌子。然而有一But one day Mr Mell told me that the headmaster Mr Creakle, had returned, and wanted to see me. So I went , trembling , to his part of the house. I realized at once that Mr Creakle lived 天,梅尔先生告诉我,校长克里古尔先生回来了,并 要我去见他。于是我哆哆嗦嗦地来到他的房间。

 我一眼就发现克里古尔先生住得比孩子们和muchmore comfortably than the boys or the teachers. 老师们要舒服得多。他个子矮小,身材肥胖,长着一 He was a small , fat man with a purple nose , who 个酒糟鼻。他坐在扶手椅上,面前放着一瓶酒和一个 was sitting in an armchair with a bottle and a glass 酒杯。" 记住:

 ‘巴克斯很愿意 n

 说完这些, 巴克斯先生一路上就完全沉默了 到了雅茅斯,我在客栈买了些信纸,给辟果提寄了这 样一封信:

 亲爱的辟果提:我已安全到达雅茅斯。巴克 斯很愿意。请代我问候我母亲。你的大卫。附:他说 此事很重要 —— 巴克斯很愿意。

 in front of him. ‘ So , this is the boy who bites, is it ?" he asked unpleasantly. ‘ I know your stepfather , boy. He"s a manof strong character , he is. He knows me,and I know him. Do you know me ? Answer me , boy !" He pulled violently at my ear . ‘ Not yet , sir, " I answered, tears of pain in my eyes. ‘ Ah , but you soon will !

 Oh yes, I have a strong character too , you"ll see !" He banged his hand hard on the table . I wasvery frightened , but I mademyself ask the question I had been considering for a whole month. ‘ Please , sir, I"m very sorry for what I did to Mr Murdstone. Could — could I take this sign off , before the other boys see it …" Mr Creakle gave a sudden , terrible jumped out of his chair. I did not wait to see whether he was going to hit me , but ran room and hid in my bed for the next hour. However , the boys were not as cruel to me as I had feared. I madea friend almost immediately , a boy called Tommy Traddles , who was known to be the unluckiest boy in the school.

I could never have imagined what a dark shadowhe would throw over the lives of people who were dear to me. 那晚,他让我捉摸不透,他的笑声,他那英 俊的脸,他那不拘小节、桀骜不驯的气度。而我怎么 也想像不到后来他会给我的亲友们的生活蒙上一层沉 重的阴影。I stayed at Salem House for three more 我在萨伦学校又呆了三个月。虽然也有一两 months.

  Traddles and I cheered each other up if we were 大孩子斯提福兹保持友好, 虽然我们俩年龄相差很多。

 beaten , and I was lucky enough to be friendly with the great Steerforth , in spite of the difference in our ages. However , my home, even with the Murdstones there, seemed a much pleasanter place than school , and I was glad when the Christmas holidays arrived , and I was allowed to return to Blunderstone. I was a little surprised to find that mymother had a new baby , and I could see at once that she was not well. She looked tired and worried , and very thin. But she and Peggotty were delighted to see me , although they dared not show it if the Murdstones were present. Mystepfather and his sister seemedto hate me even more than before , if that were possible , and they mademy life quite miserable whenever they could. In fact , I was almost pleased when it was time to return to school , and see Traddles and Steerforth again. As the cart drove away , I remember my mother standing outside our house , with her baby in her arms, smiling sadly at me. That was the last time I saw her , and that is how I shall always remember her. 3 David the orphan

 Life went on as normal for me at school until my birthday two months later in March. I remember that day very well. It was cold , icy weather, and we boys had to blow on our fingers rub our hands to keep warm in the freezing 学校生活一切照常,直到两个月后我三月份 and 生日的那天。我对那天的情景记忆犹新。那是个寒冷 冰冷的一天,孩子们坐在冰冷的教室里不得不哈着热

 不管怎样,我的家,虽然有摩德斯通姐弟在, 总显得比学校亲切。所以在圣诞来临之际,我很高兴, 我可以回到布兰德斯通去了。我有些吃惊,母亲已经 又生了一个小孩,看得出来她身体欠佳。她看上去很 疲倦,忧心仲仲,而且瘦弱不堪。但她和辟果提见到 我时都很高兴,尽管有摩德斯通姐弟在场时不敢表露 出来。继父和他姐姐比以前更讨厌我了,只要有可能, 他们就会抓住一切机会让我生活在痛苦之中。所以, 当返校的日子来临,想着我又可以见到特拉德和斯提 福兹时,我反而感到欣喜。

 马车开始启动,我记得母亲站在屋外,怀里 抱着小孩,苦涩地微笑着。这是我最后一次见着她, 这也是我至今依旧记得的她的模样。
