内容简介

The most famous of all story collections， The Arabian Nights， also known as The Book of the Thousand and One Nights， is beloved around the world. Composed of Persian， Arabic， Greek， Indian， and other sources that accumulated over hundreds of years， these fabulous stories-within-stories have long fired readers’ imaginations with an enchanted world of flying carpets， magic lamps， genies， demons， magicians and sorceresses， carnivorous giants， and bloodthirsty bandits.?

Translation has played a key role in the formation of The Arabian Nights as we know it， making it far more prominent in the West than it has ever been in the Arab world. Westerners’ first discovery of some of the tales in the early eighteenth century sparked a feverish thirst for more， which led to compilations that freely adapted， reconfigured， and even added to the originals. The resulting love affair with the art， architecture， literature， cuisine， and culture of the East significantly remapped the European literary landscape.

Editor Wen-chin Ouyang has compiled a carefully chosen selection from influential English translations， showcasing the strengths of different translators， including Richard Burton， Edward Lane， Jonathan Scott， and John Payne. Here are Shahrazad， Sinbad the Sailor， Aladdin， Ali Baba， and many more， in the most readable and enjoyable versions available.

　　“简，我可不喜欢吹毛求疵或者寻根究底的人；再说，小孩儿这样打断长辈的话，实在可怕。找个地方去坐下来。不会说讨人喜欢的话，就别多嘴。”休憩室的紧隔壁是一间小小的早餐室。我溜进了那间屋子。那儿有一个书架。不一会儿，我就拿到了一本书，我特意挑一本图画很多的。我爬上窗口，缩起脚，像土耳其人那样盘腿坐着，把波纹红昵窗帘几乎完全拉拢，我就加倍隐蔽起来，仿佛坐在神龛里似的。

　　我倒是很高兴，我素来不爱远距离的散步，特别是在寒冷的下午。对我来说，在阴冷的黄昏回家实在可怕，手指和脚趾都冻僵了，还得听保姆白茜的责骂，弄得心里很不痛快，而且自己觉得体质不如伊丽莎、约翰和乔奇安娜·里德，又感到低人一等。

it shows the power of mere curiosity, which drives man to overcome all | to rove, to adventure | "though they grew louder and more insulting the higher she climbed, the princess only laughed,and said to herself that she certainly would not let a few rough words stand between her and goal."

　　层层叠叠的猩红帷幔挡住了我右边的视线，左边却是明亮的玻璃窗，它保护着我，让我受不到阴郁的11月天气的侵袭，却又不把我与外界隔绝。在翻书页的当儿，我偶尔眺望一下冬日午后的景色。远处，只见一片白茫茫的雾霭；附近，却是湿漉漉的草坪和风雨袭击下的灌木，连绵不断的雨让一阵经久不息的凄凄寒风驱赶着狂驰而过。

等了一个月，书皮有点脏。书当然是好书
