附有 Michael Cunningham 撰写的全新后记。Catherine Sloper 虽缺乏聪慧与美貌，但她用“极度善良”弥补了这一点。英俊的 Morris Townsend 会不惜一切代价赢得她的芳心——即便这意味着假装深爱这个相貌平平的纯真少女，并对她的巨额财富表现得满不在乎。漫漫历史长河中，世界各地的女性在任何领域拥有的权利总是极为有限。你甚至可以说，她们仅仅因为性别就遭受歧视。然而，这一切因一位特殊的女性而改变：Deborah Sampson。Deborah Sampson 是已知的第一位美国

……确实很奏效。我不太清楚那种构思手法的来历，不过《螺丝在拧紧》（The Turn of the Screw）之所以出名，可能更多是因为其新颖性，而非作品本身写得有多出类拔萃。但我还是继续读他的书，而且超喜欢《华盛顿广场》（Washington Square）。讨厌《黛西·米勒》（Daisy Miller）。《阿斯彭文稿》（The Aspern Papers）挺有意思，虽然算不上极好。我之前开始读《撒谎者》（The Liar），感觉很有潜力，但在我读完前家里的娃把我那本书给毁了，之后我也一直没再捡起来……
…effectively. I'm not sure of the history of that conceit, but possibly The Turn of the Screw is famous more for its novelty than for being particularly good per se. I kept reading him, though, and loved Washington Square. Hated Daisy Miller. The Aspern Papers was fun if not really very good. I'd started reading The Liar and it was very promising, but one of my kids ruined my copy before I finished and I haven't gone back…
我非常喜欢爱伦·坡、霍桑和玛丽·雪莱的作品，所以我并不认同19世纪的恐怖小说“经不起时间考验”这种说法，不过你说服了我再给他一次机会。我会把《华盛顿广场》列入书单的。
I greatly enjoyed Poe, Hawthorne, and Mary Shelley, so I don't accept that 19th century horror doesn't "hold up" too well, but you've convinced me to give him another try. I will put Washington Square on my reading list.
对，亨利·詹姆斯是那个写小说的，威廉·詹姆斯的弟弟。我觉得他的作品水准……参差不齐，但很多确实非常棒。我自己就是《华盛顿广场》的死忠粉。可能最好先从这类较短的中篇小说，以及他真正意义上的短篇（非常多）入手，然后再循序渐进读到长篇小说（长篇也有一大堆）。千万不要……
Yeah, Henry James is the novelist. William's brother. I'd call his output... mixed, but much of it's really good. Big fan of Washington Square, myself. Probably better to approach shorter novella-ish works like that, and his actual short stories (there are lots) first, and work your way up to the novels (there are also lots of those). Do not…
