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.

那一天不可能去散步了。不错，我们早上已经在片叶无存的灌木林中逛了一个钟头；但是，自从吃午饭的时候起（如果没有客人，里德太太是很早吃午饭的），冬日的凛冽寒风就送来了那样阴沉的云和那样透骨的雨，这就不可能再在户外活动了。

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."

　　“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。

　　还有一些部分我也不能放过，那就是下面这些地方的荒凉海岸：拉普兰，西伯利亚，斯匹次卑尔根⑥，新地岛，冰岛和格陵兰，还有“那辽阔的北极区域，和那些阴暗地带荒无人烟的地区；那儿是冰雪的贮藏所，经过几百个隆冬的积累，已经成了一片坚实的冰野，像阿尔卑斯山般一峰高似一峰，冰面晶莹光滑，绕着地极，积聚了严寒的无穷威力”。对这些惨白色的区域，我形成了一个我自己的看法：朦朦胧胧，像在孩子们脑海里沉浮的似懂非懂的概念，却又出奇地生动。这几页导言里的文字都是和后面的小插图有关联的：屹立在波涛汹涌、浪花飞溅的大海中的岩石，搁浅在荒凉海岸上的破船，还有那从云缝间俯视沉舟的幽灵般的月亮，导言中的文字就使这些画面变得重要了。
