《長腿叔叔》 是英國 ·薩默賽特·毛姆創作的長篇小說被譽為毛姆的代表作之一。小說以主人公pip為視角通過他的成長經歷展現了20世紀英國社會的種種面貌。
小說的主要情節發生在19世紀60年代的英國主人公pip是一個孤兒被送到了一個寄宿家庭。這個家庭由長腿叔叔即pip的監護人macchiato管理。pip在這個家庭中經歷了許多苦難但他通過和家庭成員的互動逐漸了解了英國社會的種種不公和不平等。 小說中有許多精彩的好詞好句例如: It is a fact that the world is a great big house and we are all its children or rather some of us are and some of us are not The only way to be a man is to know that you are not a man and to feel that you are a man I was not always happy but I knew that I was good And I knew that I wanted to be good There is no such thing as a black and white world There are only灰色地帶s I don't want to be rich I want to be happy The world is not a place where you can find happiness It is a place where you can make yourself happy You can't solve problems with money I don't care if you are a man of means As long as you are a human being 這些句子都充滿了智慧和深刻的思考是小說中的亮點之一。 讀完 《長腿叔叔》 后我深受啟發。小說中展現的社會問題和人性探討都讓我深深地思考。雖然主人公pip在小說中是一個虛構的人物但他所反映的社會問題卻是真實存在的我們每個人都可以從中受到啟發。
