To Live Happily All the Time
.
这部小说讲述了四个人和一条狗的故事。他们觉得自己过于为工作所累,需要身心的修养,于是几个人决定去度假。小说主要围绕一次泛舟之旅展开,充满了夸张、非现实的情节,读来一定会让您捧腹大笑、乐而忘倦。
The story begins by introducing
George, Harris, Jerome and Montmorency, the dog. The men are
spending an evening in J.'s room, smoking and discussing illnesses
they fancy they suffer from. They conclude they are all suffering
from "overwork" and need a holiday. A stay in the country
and a sea trip are both considered. Eventually, the three decide on
a boating holiday, up the River Thames, from Kingston upon Thames to
Oxford, during which they'll camp.
