三人一狗,一叶扁舟,他们的旅行也许正是你曾经历过的人生……
The three men are based on Jerome himself (the narrator) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave (who would become a senior manager at Barclays Bank) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing business, called Harris in the book), with whom Jerome often took boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional but, "as Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog." The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff.
《三怪客泛舟记》是一部让人心情放松的幽默小说,曾被《绅士》杂志评为“史上最幽默的五十部文学作品”之一。小说主要围绕三个怪客和一只狗的一次泛舟之旅展开,充满了夸张和非现实的情节。不论在什么地方,什么时候都能遇到这样的三个年轻人。他们掉进水里,把东西弄丢,吵架,又笑着和好,互相讲故事……他们个个有远大的抱负,热情也很高,可就是到了早上谁也起不来。他们都想当伟大的探险家,可事实上,只要一下雨,他们还是愿意呆在暖和的火炉边,坐在舒适的椅子里。这本游记讲的既不是横渡大洋的危险航行,也不是沿着亚马孙河的漂流探险,只不过是次小小的旅行,乘着一只小小的船。
Originally intended as a serious travel guide, then streamlined into an amusing account of a farcical boating excursion on the Thames river, Three Men in a Boat is Jerome K. Jerome's controversially "vulgar" take on English history and recreation. A mix of social satire and Victorian wit, this book of ramblings broaches a variety of unlikely subjects, including leisure, nostalgia, and friendship. Despite telling a story where everything goes wrong, this funny travelogue offers a vivid portrait of Victorian England the reader will not soon forget.
