Jane Austen (1775 ~ 18 17) is a British female novelist. He was born in Steventon, a rural town, and his father was a local parish priest. Austin didn't go to a formal school and read a lot of literary works under the guidance of his parents. She started writing around the age of 20 and published six novels. Sense and Sensibility, published in 18 1 1, is her first work, followed by Pride and Prejudice (18 13) and Mansfield Garden (18/3). Northanger abbey and Persuasion (18 18) were published two years after her death, using their real names.

Austin is unmarried for life and has a well-off family. She lives in a small rural town, and comes into contact with small and medium-sized landlords, priests and other figures and their quiet and comfortable living environment, so there is no big social contradiction in her works. With women's unique nuanced observation, she truly described the small world around her, especially the love and marriage turmoil between gentlemen and ladies. Her works are light and humorous, full of comedy conflicts, and are deeply loved by readers.

From the end of18th century to the beginning of19th century, vulgar and boring "sentimental novels" and "gothic novels" flooded the British literary world, while Austen's novels took a different approach, showing the daily life and rural scenery of the British rural middle class that had not been impacted by the capitalist industrial revolution at that time. Although the breadth and depth of reflection were limited, it played a good role in changing the vulgar atmosphere in novel creation at that time and occupied a place in the history of English novel development.

The background information of the work and Emma's personality characteristics

Austin, the author of this book, was born in Stevenson, Hampshire, England on 1775. His father was a rural teacher. She has not received much formal education, but she has dabbled in many books on her father's family studies and benefited a lot. /kloc-When she was 0/5 years old, she began to write short plays and essays to entertain her family. The novel completed at the age of 2/kloc-0 is already one of the best works in English literature.

Austen's novels are all love stories, but she never married. She died in 18 17, when she was less than 42.

Austin had finished two novels before he was 22. After revision, Sense and Sensibility was published in 18 1 1, and Pride and Prejudice was published in 18 13. At the age of 27-28, she wrote her third novel northanger abbey, which was not published until 18 18 after her death. After the age of 30, she wrote three more works, Mansfield Garden by 18 14, Emma by 18 16 and Persuasion by18.

Austin wrote all about his familiar life, mostly the life of the middle class in rural Scotland and its neighboring areas. The life circle she describes is very small, but her observation is meticulous, her thinking is wise and reasonable, and her task is vivid. Her writing is unpretentious; The plot is ingenious and intriguing. For more than a hundred years, readers all over the world have loved her works.

Like Austen's other works, Emma's plot revolves around the heroine's mate selection activities, trying to reveal that marriage was a bad habit for women to seek economic security and improve their economic status at that time, regardless of women's feelings and power. The main female characters in Emma all pursue equal exchanges and communication with men's thoughts and feelings, demand equal rights in social status, and insist on men's freedom of independent observation, analysis and choice. In Britain at that time, this was almost equivalent to a cry of resistance.

Perhaps in terms of comic effect, no novel can make Emma in Austin look like a fool. This is a unique work of genius. The style of the work is unpretentious, but at the same time it doesn't scratch the reader's heart properly. With her meticulous and sensitive wisdom, uncompromising attitude, self-confident moral consciousness and reckless courage, the author praised the truth, goodness and beauty in her works in a romantic way, and lashed the falsehood and evil, which undoubtedly touched her contemporaries, who are not without similarities with the characters in her works.

Emma, like Austin's other works, focuses on trivial matters, and the scenes are mostly dull, but why can he create an effect that fascinates readers? The answers should be varied.

On the one hand, it creates a narcissistic psychological atmosphere for readers through the protagonist Emma. For more than 100 years, readers in Emma often read it all at once, and then relished the reading experience. Readers seem to be in the position of the protagonist, involuntarily attracted by the role of the protagonist, and personally participate in the plot development of the work. As the story unfolds, the reader keeps close psychological contact with the protagonist. In the face of counter-attacks and absurd plot changes, they can't help laughing and are embarrassed to watch embarrassing scenes.

On the other hand, Emma's plot is a mystery, and readers try to solve it under the guidance of the author. In this sense, Emma has a mysterious detective novel. The author carefully covered up some important clues and only revealed the truth when necessary. Readers observe the feelings and personalities of other characters from Emma's perspective, and can't help but hope to explore the truth through various clues. Although readers can't accurately predict the result, a feeling of knowing something in advance runs through the whole reading process. When the "secret" was revealed, the reader's feelings were as early as expected. This technique of the author may be called the satisfaction of readers' vanity. The author seems to be saying to the readers: You and I both know how ridiculous Emma's idea is. This feeling enhances the dramatic effect of reading.

Emma is Austin's fifth novel. At that time, her writing skills had been relatively perfect.

Every plot in the story, cleverly conceived by the author, is natural and reasonable because of the apparent causal relationship and the hidden essence behind it. The heroine makes reasonable guesses and judgments based on superficial phenomena. Careful readers have doubts from time to time, but their ideas are endless and develop with Emma's observation. When the final result appears, it is completely different from the superficial phenomenon and produces unexpected comedy effects. If readers reread it, they will find that the factors leading to the inevitable result already exist between the lines.

In the struggle for equal rights for women, Austin pays more attention to the sociality of such equal rights, rather than limiting the target to men and women in individual marriages. In Emma, the author regards Frank and Jane, who escape from reality in order to live, as ridiculous. They are a pair of poor lovers, succumbing to the pressure of public opinion and hiding ulterior secrets in their hearts, which makes them look disgusting. The other two couples who pay attention to the public's recognition of their truth, goodness and beauty are praise. We can see that the author clearly appeals to the society to recognize the equal rights of men and women.

Two important heroes and heroines in Emma are Emma and Mr Knightley. Both of them help others in their own way on many occasions. The way Emma matches women is ridiculous, even ridiculous. She tries her best to find a spouse with a higher social status for a woman with a lower status, often in the dark. The result was just the opposite of her wish, and many unexpected jokes were made. We may think that the author's treatment in this way is precisely to guide readers to laugh at the bad habits prevalent in British society at that time. Mr Knightley helps others in another way. For example, at a ball, he saw that haret, whose social status was low, was despised. He stood up to defend her self-esteem, helped her through the embarrassing situation, and cracked down on the bad behavior of bullying and being afraid of bullying. He attached importance to the true love between haret and Martin commensurate with his status, and gave them appropriate help, giving them the opportunity to get married according to their own wishes. The author has always placed the role of Mr. Knightley in a position admired by readers, undoubtedly hoping to embody his social ideal through this character.

Emma has no thrilling plot or sensational description, but from its arrival and intoxicating narrative, in his inscrutable plot and in his meticulous portrayal of characters' personalities and psychology, readers seem to have unfolded a beautiful and slightly exaggerated vivid picture for it. It seems that we can see the images and behaviors of the characters in the story, hear their conversations in various backgrounds, and feel the joys and sorrows of the characters. At that time, the variety of British society seemed to be experienced by readers themselves.

In the process of translating Emma, the translator not only admires Austin's unique humorous way of describing things, portraying characters and conveying thoughts and feelings, but also admires his exquisite level of using English language. It is the translator's goal to reproduce the language form of the original text as vividly as possible while accurately conveying the original text and ideological content.

Jane Austen

Emma Woodhouse is rich, smart and beautiful. People in this environment are somewhat spoiled and self-righteous. She just attended the wedding of her friend, partner, former governess Miss Taylor and neighbor widower Mr. Weston. Although everything went well in the marriage, Emma sighed to herself for the loss of her good friend. Now only she and her father are left in hatfield. Mr. Woodhouse is old and loves to worry about trifles, so naturally he can't accompany his daughter.

Woodhouse is a big family in Highbury village. In their children's circle, there are many middle-aged and elderly ladies playing cards with Mr. Woodhouse, but no young lady can have sex with Emma's friends and confidants. The lovely Miss Taylor is now Mrs. Weston, and Emma is deeply lonely for it, so she puts Harriet Smith under her protection. Harriet is a student in a boarding school nearby and lives in the principal's house. She is seventeen years old, and her appearance is outstanding. Although he has low qualifications, his manners are pleasing and unpretentious, and he is used to following Emma's example, so he is quite likable.

Harriet is an illegitimate daughter and her father is still a mystery. Emma thought the girl might come from a famous family, so she tried to convince her that no one she had dated was worthy of her. Emma suggested that she break up with the Martins. The Martins are decent farmers. Although they have some property, they don't belong to the upper class. Emma thinks that Robert Martin is not worthy to marry Harriet, so she encourages the girl to pursue the young priest Mr. Elton.

Emma judged from Mr. Elton's behavior that he had begun to fall in love with Harriet, and she thought that the plan to fix the marriage would be successful. Mr Knightley is the younger brother of Emma's brother-in-law who is a lawyer in London. He is one of the few people who can see Emma's shortcomings. The intimate relationship between Emma and Harriet made him feel uneasy. He warned Emma that this relationship was not good for Harriet or herself. Mr Knightley was even more worried when he learned that Harriet refused Robert Martin's proposal at Emma's instigation. Emma herself felt at ease, because she was sure that Mr. Elton liked Harriet very much, and Harriet loved him at her instigation.

Mr. Elton proposed to Emma privately, which made Emma suddenly realize. She suddenly realized that Mr. Elton's attentions to Harriet were actually for her, and her intention of encouraging Elton to pursue his girlfriend was taken by him as an expression of encouraging him to propose to him. Elton's self-righteousness is annoying enough, but how to break the news to Harriet is even more annoying

Emma's life circle has another disappointment. Frank Churchill promised to visit his father and new stepmother months ago, but he postponed the visit. Churchill is the son of Mr. Weston's first wife, taking his mother's surname. Mr Knightley thinks that the young man now feels superior to his father. Emma argued with him, but at heart she agreed with him.

Although Churchill failed to visit hatfield's social circle, he added a girl named Jane Fairfax. Jane is Miss Bates' niece, and Miss Bates is always nagging. She is as beautiful and talented as Emma. Mr Knightley hinted that this was one of the reasons why Emma and Jane could never get along. Emma herself blamed Jane's indifference for their indifferent relationship.

Shortly after Jane arrived, the Westons received a letter from Churchill, which confirmed the date of his visit. He really came this time. Emma found this a handsome and educated young man. He became a frequent visitor to the Woodhouses, and at the same time, because he had known Jane Fairfax before, he often went to Bates' house. But the girl he is after is not Jane, but Emma. Emma understood that the Westons wanted this love to blossom and bear fruit.

About this time, Jane received a generous gift. It's a piano, and the giver doesn't know who it is. Presumably, these gifts came from Jane's rich friends. Jane is an orphan and has been living with them. But in the face of the gift, Jane was embarrassed and silent. After Mrs. Weston told Emma that Mr. Knightley seemed to like and care about Jane, Emma suspected that Knightley was the gift giver. Emma can't stand Mr Knightley marrying Jane. But after observing two people together, she came to a satisfactory conclusion: what Mr. Knightley did came from friendship, not love.

Frank Churchill should go. He seems a little reluctant to go. On his last trip to hatfield, he seemed to want to tell Emma something serious. But Emma didn't encourage Churchill to express his love, although she thought he wanted to talk to her. Because in Emma's imagination, she always refused Churchill's proposal of marriage and always attributed their love to a calm friendship.

Mr. Elton returned to Highbury village and brought back a bride who got married after a hasty courtship. This woman has a small fortune and is extremely vulgar, but she just pretends to be elegant. Harriet once fell in love under Emma's persuasion, and it was not easy to persuade her to get rid of it. But what Emma can't do is that Mr. Elton's wedding is done for her with cigarettes. Harriet finally began to wake up. Mr. Elton's rudeness to her at a dance brought her to her senses. Mr Elton refused to dance with Harriet. At this time, Mr. Knightley, who refused to dance easily, took the initiative to invite her as a partner. So, in Harriet's mind, Mr. Elton's position began to be replaced by Mr. Knightley. Even Emma doesn't know about it.

Emma herself began to think that Churchill was Harriet's husband. However, she decided not to help repair the marriage. Due to a series of misunderstandings, Emma thought Harriet was praising Churchill, but in fact Harriet was praising Mr. Knightley.

Mrs. Weston still thinks that Mr. Knightley loves Jane Fairfax, which makes the spectrum of mandarin ducks more complicated. On the other hand, Mr Knightley noticed that there was some secret agreement between Jane and Churchill. Mr. Knightley's suspicion was later confirmed: Churchill admitted to the Westons that he and Jane were secretly engaged in June+10, 5438. Emma was the first thought of the Westons. They were worried that Churchill's attention to Emma might make her fall in love. But Emma told Mrs. Weston that she once had a little affection for Churchill, but this opportunity has long passed. Emma is mainly worried about two things now. First, she said something about Jane to Churchill. If she knew they were engaged, she would never do that. Secondly, she thinks that she once again encouraged Harriet to fall into an unsuccessful relationship.

However, when Emma gently revealed the news to Harriet, she found that Harriet was not disturbed by it. The conversation between them ended in discord, and Emma finally learned that Harriet fell in love with Mr. Knightley instead of Churchill. When Harriet told Emma that she had reason to believe that Mr. Knightley returned the love, Emma suddenly realized the secret of her heart: she loved Mr. Knightley himself. Now she wishes she had never known Harriet Smith. In addition to wanting to marry Mr. Knightley, she also understands that if Knightley and Harriet combine, it will not only be a disproportionate marriage, but also bring happiness.

Emma's anxiety about this situation soon ended: Mr. Knightley proposed to her. But her complete happiness also has its fly in the ointment. She knew that her marriage would make her father very unhappy, because the old man didn't want any change in his life. And she unconsciously let Harriet face disappointment again. Emma and Mr Knightley decided to live in hatfield and spend their old age with their father. This solves the first problem. As for Harriet, Mr Knightley pays attention to her because he really wants to know whether the girl still loves his young tenant, Robert Martin. As a result, Mr Knightley finally announced one morning that Robert Martin proposed to Harriet again and she accepted it. Emma is naturally very happy that Harriet's future has been decided. Emma always looks back on the past like this. All the people around her are married in the right way, which is a necessary condition for their true happiness.
