女性文学分享之一。《自己的房间》In A Room of One's Own

英國作家吳爾芙(Virginia Woolf)在《自己的房间》一书,写到。。。。

"For it is a perennial puzzle why no woman wrote a word of that extraordinary literature when every other man, it seemed, was capable of song or sonnet. What were the conditions in which women lived, I asked myself; for fiction, imaginative work that is, is not dropped like a pebble upon the ground, as science may be; fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in."

每个女孩都想拥有一间属于自己的房间。。。。
“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” 女人要想写小说,必须有钱,再加一间自己的房间。
