For this reason, I looked for a novel for a few days. The scene is complex, the structure is scattered, the description and dialogue are long (a paragraph is often more than a dozen lines or even half a page; the author is used to telling the story through character dialogue, more than one-third of the whole book is dialogue), there are many characters, and the names are confusing (name, father) First name, last name, a woman changes her surname after marriage, nickname, nickname, nickname). Russian literature is very laborious to read.
After Zhivago disappeared (was arrested as a doctor in the guerrillas), the horror and suffering of Tonya, a young and pregnant woman in her family, was beyond words, and even Lara couldn't bear to tell Zhivago. Later, the government recruited Tonya's father (professor) to return to Moscow to take up her post.
In the second half of the book, Tonya's family is deported. Before leaving Russia, Tonya wrote a letter to Zhivago:
Yula:
Do you know that we have a daughter? We named her Martha, in memory of your mother Maria Nikolaevna.
another thing. Some well-known social activists and professors of the Cadets and Right-wing Socialists, Merigunov, Kizevejer, Skua and others, including your uncle Nikolai, my father, and the rest of us , Is being expelled from Russia.
This is really a disaster, especially when you are not by our side. But we must accept. Fortunately, I want to thank God for taking such a gentle expulsion method against us in this terrible time, our experience might have been worse. If you are here, you can go with us. But where are you? I will send this letter to Antipova. If she can find you, she will forward the letter to you. I am very painful, the policy is to let our family go abroad. If God has mercy and finds you, whether he will also let you go abroad, I really don't know. I have never given up believing that you are alive and that I will find you. My love tells me it must be so. I am convinced that maybe by then, by the time you show up, the environment in Russia will be much milder, you can get a passport for going abroad alone, and we can meet again in the same place. When I write like this, I don't believe that this kind of happiness can be realized.
All the problem is that I love you but you don't love me. I always look for the meaning of this conclusion, explain it, and prove it. I conducted self-reflection, reviewed the days we lived together, and the understanding of myself, but I still couldn't find the cause, and I couldn't recall what I did to cause such misfortune. I have a feeling that you look at me with unkind eyes, you misunderstand me, just like looking at me through a haha mirror.
But, I love you, I hope you can imagine how much I love you! I love all the different things in you, both good and bad. I love you and your ordinary personality, and the combination of them is so cute to me. Your face becomes more noble because of your unique thoughts. Without this connotation, you may not look handsome. Your incomparable talent and wisdom seem to replace the willpower you lack. All these are precious to me, and no one I know can compare with you.
Do you know, even if you are not so precious to me, even if I don't love you so, even if I haven't realized the truth of my cold and embarrassment, even then, I still think I love you. What an embarrassing and ruthless punishment to not love! Just out of fear of this, I cannot admit that I don't love you. Neither I nor you will ever understand this. My own heart will hide it from me, because not love is like murder, and I will never give anyone such a blow.
Although everything has not been finalized, we are very likely to go to Paris. I'm going to be here when you were a child, where your father and uncle grew up in a distant foreign land. Dad greets you. Shu La has grown a lot taller. Although he is not very good-looking, he is already a sturdy big child; every time he talks about you, he always cries very sadly, and he can't coax him no matter how hard he is. I can't write anymore, my heart will be broken with tears. Alright, goodbye. Let me pray for you, asking God to bless you in the days to come, bless us with endless separation, bless you through temptation and confusion, bless you on the long and dark road. No matter what, I will not blame you, I will not blame you. Live according to your own wishes, as long as you are well, I am satisfied.
Before we left the Ural, it was a terrible and deadly place for us, and I knew Larisa Feodorovna quite well. Thank her, she has been by my side when I was in trouble and helped me through the production period. I should admit frankly that she is a good person, but I don't want to be hypocritical, she and I are completely opposite. I was born to make life simple and to find reasonable solutions, but she wanted to make it complicated and create confusion.
Farewell, I have to stop writing, they are here to get the letter, and I should pack up. Oh, Yura, Yura, dear, my dear husband, the father of my child, what is going on? I wrote these words, do you realize that we will never and never meet again? I write these words, can you understand the meaning? do you understand? do you understand? They urged me, and the urge made me feel painful. Yura! Yura!
Tonya doesn't fully understand the people she loves, but she judges Lara calmly and fairly.
Lala was young and beautiful. At the age of 16, she committed adultery with her mother's lover, the "selfish and shameless villain" and "old parasite" Komarovsky whom she believed was "selfish and shameless." Zhivago once witnessed a scene with Komarovsky, "The scene of the girl's submission is incredibly mysterious and brazenly explicit."
Lala's husband Pasha is a tall and outstanding young man with passion. Knowing that Lala was deprived, she wanted to go to war and became a high-level commander. He still loves his wife deeply, and Lala loves him too. But after Lara met Zhivago in the library, she became Zhivago's lover. Tonya didn't know it. After Zhivago disappeared, Tonya dragged her big belly to the town to find someone. The locals knew Lala's lover and took her to find Lala. Lara took care of Dongnya and gave birth to a daughter, and Dongnya also had an observation and understanding of her husband's lover.
After Zhivago escaped from the guerrillas, Tonya had left. He did not go to Moscow to find his wife, but lived with Lara. Lara is pregnant with a daughter for him.
At this moment, Komarovsky reappeared, a lie, Lara actually left Zhivago and went with Komarovsky. Zhivago once analyzed the relationship between Lara and Komarovsky: "The nature of human beings, especially the nature of women, is so unreasonable and full of contradictions. Maybe you have other feelings for him besides disgust. You always succumb to him. You have more affection for him than the man you voluntarily fall in love with."
Pasha came to look for his wife and daughter, but came one step later. He talked with Zhivago all night long. Zhivago tells him that it is impossible to find Lara, and Pasha sadly commits suicide.
Zhivago regarded Lara as "my only love." He has his own theory of love. He said to Lala: "I don't love people who have not made any mistakes, who have never misstepped or fallen. Their virtues are not angry, they are not of high value, and life has never shown beauty to them." "A man I know and love. , Like me, falling in love with the same woman, I will not feel resentful, nor quarrel with him, but will have a tragic brotherhood. I am not jealous of my rivals, I only jealous than me Low person. Of course, I’m not saying to share the woman I love, I will abandon her. My pain is not jealous, not so stinging, not so angry. Just like I met an artist, he is also Do the same work as me, but do better than me. It is very likely that I will give up the results of my own hard work because I don't want to copy his. If he does better, I don't have to go on. "
Zhivago told Lara that Komarovsky had been the legal adviser to his father (a million-dollar industrialist). Komarovsky often got his father drunk, disrupted his business, ruined his family, and forced him to jump on the rails and commit suicide. "He is the culprit behind my father and I becoming orphans." But Zhivago had no blood and courage in front of Komarovsky. He allowed Komarovsky and even assisted Komarovsky in taking Lara away.
The entanglement lies in this: the good woman Lala knows that Komarovsky is a bad person, but she can't help but obey and succumb to him; the good man Zhivago is obsessed with Lara, who is infatuated with the Stockholm plot of murdering her father and enemy. Abandon your wife and children.
Yuri and Lala are a passionate and unfeeling couple of men and women who share the addiction to scabs. Their "unfortunate" and the misfortune they bring to others are more of their own responsibility, but they believe that in the book It is also described as "the tragedy of the times."
Setting aside the historical picture of the Soviet-Russian revolution, the sword, the light and the sword, the flames everywhere ("Noble ideals have been reduced to crude material desires, civilized Greece has succumbed to barbaric Rome, and the glorious Russian enlightenment has turned into a bloody Russian revolution"), "Doctor Zhivago 》There is no sense of beauty or righteousness. The two protagonists are neither sympathetic nor likable.
There are more than ten Chinese translations of this book. What I read is the translation of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, which is better than the Lan Yingnian translation on the Internet, but it is still not satisfactory ("She couldn't imagine that he danced so well", including your uncle Nicholas, my father , And the rest of us, are being expelled from Russia"). The most fainting names in Russian works can actually be summarized and simplified according to Chinese reading habits when translating, at least a detailed list of characters can be attached.
