译著赏析：Vanity Fair(Excerpt)
复古杂封面大赏——百年前的《名利场》VanityFair
复古杂封面大赏——百年前的《名利场》VanityFair《名利场》（英语：Vanity Fair）是一本美国文化、时尚和政治杂志，由康得纳斯出版公司出版。
最初的名利场出版于1913年，1935年后因为大萧条导致销量大幅下降而停刊。
我们现在知道的名利场封面是这样的：怎么有点斗鸡眼的意思?在停刊了50年后，这本杂志在1981年复刊，如今除美国本土外还在四个欧洲国家同步发行，常常刊出当红明星的肖像照、写真和合影，报道多为明星私生活，同时也包括新闻、评论、随笔等内容。
不过，我今天看到它在20世纪初的封面时，觉得这不是和《vogue》当时的封面差不多的吗？刚好是插画黄金时代，大波插画艺术家们展现才华的舞台！名利场由康得纳斯出版公司的创始人康得·纳斯创办。
最初杂志名为《服装》，是一本供男性观看的时尚杂志，1913年康得·纳斯将其名称改为《服装和名利场》Dress & Vanity Fair。
不久之后杂志改名为《名利场》Vanity Fair，并将其定位为一本以提供上流社会生活方式报道的杂志。
在主编弗兰克·克劳宁希尔德Frank Crowninshield 的努力之下，杂志很快就赢得了大众的青睐。
当时的美国民众许多为低收入移民，并不熟悉上流生活奢华的生活方式，对其神秘复杂的社交活动充满了兴趣。
1925年之后，名利场和同为康得纳斯出版公司旗下的《纽约客》一起，成为了美国最重要的文化杂志。
不过它所刊登广告的比例也颇高，这和其高昂的制作成本有关。
然而大萧条开始后，大企业无力支付广告费，广告收入骤减。
虽然1935年中的发行量达到了90000本的新高峰，名利场还是在同年12月宣布停刊，1936年起并入《时尚》杂志。

vanity fair英语读后感
vanity fair英语读后感Vanity FairI recently finished reading the novel "Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray. This book is a satirical masterpiece that takes place in 19th-century England and follows the lives of two main characters, Becky Sharp and Amelia Sedley.One of the most striking aspects of "Vanity Fair" is its portrayal of the hypocrisy and corruption that existed in English society during that time. Thackeray uses his characters to expose the greed, vanity, and hypocrisy of the upper classes, as well as the harsh realities faced by the lower classes.The character of Becky Sharp is particularly fascinating. She is a strong-willed and cunning woman who uses her intelligence and charm to navigate through the complex social structure of 19th-century England. Becky's character is a stark contrast to Amelia Sedley, who is portrayed as naive and innocent. Amelia's innocence and lack of worldliness make her an easy target for manipulation and exploitation by the more cunning characters in the novel.Throughout the novel, Thackeray explores themes of ambition, greed, and betrayal. The characters in "Vanity Fair"are constantly striving for wealth, power, and social status, often at the expense of their morals and relationships. The novel also highlights the role of women in 19th-century society, showing the challenges and limitations they faced.In conclusion, "Vanity Fair" is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a critical look at 19th-century English society. It is a satirical masterpiece that exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of the upper classes, as well as the harsh realities faced by the lower classes. The novel also explores themes of ambition, greed, and betrayal, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the roles and challenges faced by women in 19th-century society.中文翻译：名利场我最近读完了威廉·梅克比斯·萨克雷的小说《名利场》。

Vanity_Fair《名利场》第四十八章原文及翻译
CHAPTER XLVIIIIn Which the Reader Is Introduced to the V eryBest of CompanyAt last Becky's kindness and attention to the chief ofher husband's family were destined to meet with an exceeding great reward, a reward which, though certainly somewhat unsubstantial, the little woman coveted with greater eagerness than more positive benefits. If she did not wish to lead a virtuous life, at least she desired to enjoy a character for virtue, and we know that no ladyin the genteel world can possess this desideratum, until she has put on a train and feathers and has been presented to her Sovereign at Court. From that august interview they come out stamped as honest women. The Lord Chamberlain gives them a certificate of virtue. And as dubious goods or letters are passed through an ovenat quarantine, sprinkled with aromatic vinegar, and then pronounced clean, many a lady, whose reputation would be doubtful otherwise and liable to give infection, passes through the wholesome ordeal of the Royal presence and issues from it free from all taint.It might be very well for my Lady Bareacres, myLady Tufto, Mrs. Bute Crawley in the country, and other ladies who had come into contact with Mrs. Rawdon Crawley to cry fie at the idea of the odious little adventuress making her curtsey before the Sovereign, and to declare that, if dear good Queen Charlotte had been alive, she never would have admitted such an extremelyill-regulated personage into her chaste drawing-room. But when we consider that it was the First Gentleman in Europe in whose high presence Mrs. Rawdon passed her examination, and as it were, took her degree in reputation, it surely must be flat disloyalty to doubt any moreabout her virtue. I, for my part, look back with love and awe to that Great Character in history. Ah, what a high and noble appreciation of Gentlewomanhood there must have been in V anity Fair, when that revered and august being was invested, by the universal acclaim of the refined and educated portion of this empire, with the title of Premier Gentilhomme of his Kingdom. Do you remember, dear M--, oh friend of my youth, how one blissful night five-and-twenty years since, the "Hypocrite" being acted, Elliston being manager, Dowton and Liston performers, two boys had leave from their loyal mastersto go out from Slaughter-House School where they were educated and to appear on Drury Lane stage, amongst a crowd which assembled there to greet the king. THE KING? There he was. Beefeaters were before the august box; the Marquis of Steyne (Lord of the Powder Closet) and other great officers of state were behind the chair on which he sat, HE sat--florid of face, portly of person, covered with orders, and in a rich curling head of hair--how we sang God save him! How the house rocked and shouted with that magnificent music. How they cheered, and cried, and waved handkerchiefs. Ladies wept; mothers clasped their children; some fainted with emotion. People were suffocated in the pit, shrieks and groans rising up amidst the writhing and shouting mass there of his people who were, and indeed showed them- selves almost to be, ready to die for him. Y es, we saw him. Fate cannot deprive us of THA T. Others have seen Napoleon. Some few still exist who have beheld Frederick the Great, Doctor Johnson, Marie Antoinette, &c.--be itour reasonable boast to our children, that we saw George the Good, the Magnificent, the Great.Well, there came a happy day in Mrs. Rawdon Crawley's existence when this angel was admitted into theparadise of a Court which she coveted, her sister-in-law acting as her godmother. On the appointed day, Sir Pitt and his lady, in their great family carriage (just newly built, and ready for the Baronet's assumption of theoffice of High Sheriff of his county), drove up to the little house in Curzon Street, to the edification of Raggles, who was watching from his greengrocer's shop, and saw fine plumes within, and enormous bunches of flowers in the breasts of the new livery-coats of the footmen.Sir Pitt, in a glittering uniform, descended and wentinto Curzon Street, his sword between his legs. Little Rawdon stood with his face against the parlour window- panes, smiling and nodding with all his might to his auntin the carriage within; and presently Sir Pitt issued forth from the house again, leading forth a lady with grand feathers, covered in a white shawl, and holding updaintily a train of magnificent brocade. She stepped into the vehicle as if she were a princess and accustomed all herlife to go to Court, smiling graciously on the footman atthe door and on Sir Pitt, who followed her into thecarriage.Then Rawdon followed in his old Guards' uniform,which had grown woefully shabby, and was much too tight. He was to have followed the procession and waited upon his sovereign in a cab, but that his good-natured sister-in-law insisted that they should be a family party. The coach was large, the ladies not very big, they would hold their trains in their laps--finally, the four went fraternally together, and their carriage presently joinedthe line of royal equipages which was making its way down Piccadilly and St. James's Street, towards the old brick palace where the Star of Brunswick was in waitingto receive his nobles and gentlefolks.Becky felt as if she could bless the people out of the carriage windows, so elated was she in spirit, and so strong a sense had she of the dignified position whichshe had at last attained in life. Even our Becky had her weaknesses, and as one often sees how men pride themselves upon excellences which others are slow to perceive: how, for instance, Comus firmly believes that he is the greatest tragic actor in England; how Brown, thefamous novelist, longs to be considered, not a man of genius, but a man of fashion; while Robinson, the great lawyer, does not in the least care about his reputation in Westminster Hall, but believes himself incomparable across country and at a five-barred gate--so to be, andto be thought, a respectable woman was Becky's aim in life, and she got up the genteel with amazing assiduity, readiness, and success. We have said, there were times when she believed herself to be a fine lady and forgot that there was no money in the chest at home--duns round the gate, tradesmen to coax and wheedle--no ground to walk upon, in a word. And as she went to Court in the carriage, the family carriage, she adopted a demeanour so grand, self-satisfied, deliberate, and imposing that it made even Lady Jane laugh. She walked into the royal apartments with a toss of the head which would have befitted an empress, and I have no doubt had she been one, she would have become the character perfectly..We are authorized to state that Mrs. Rawdon Crawley's costume de cour on the occasion of her presentationto the Sovereign was of the most elegant and brilliantdescription. Some ladies we may have seen--wewho wear stars and cordons and attend the St. James's assemblies, or we, who, in muddy boots, dawdle up and down Pall Mall and peep into the coaches as they drive up with the great folks in their feathers--some ladies of fashion, I say, we may have seen, about two o'clock of the forenoon of a levee day, as the laced-jacketed bandof the Life Guards are blowing triumphal marches seated on those prancing music-stools, their cream-coloured chargers--who are by no means lovely and enticing objects at that early period of noon. A stout countess of sixty, decolletee, painted, wrinkled with rouge up to her drooping eyelids, and diamonds twinkling in her wig, is a wholesome and edifying, but not a pleasant sight. She has the faded look of a St. James's Street illumination, as it may be seen of an early morning, when half the lamps are out, and the others are blinking wanly, as if they were about to vanish like ghosts before the dawn. Such charms as those of which we catch glimpses while her ladyship's carriage passes should appear abroad at night alone. If even Cynthia looks haggard of an afternoon, as we may see her sometimes in the present winter season,with Phoebus staring her out of countenance from the opposite side of the heavens, how much more can old Lady Castlemouldy keep her head up when the sun is shining full upon it through the chariot windows, and showing all the chinks and crannies with which time has marked her face! No. Drawing-rooms should be announced for November, or the first foggy day, or the elderly sultanas of our V anity Fair should drive up in closed litters, descend in a covered way, and make their curtsey to the Sovereign under the protection of lamplight. Our beloved Rebecca had no need, however, of anysuch a friendly halo to set off her beauty. Her complexion could bear any sunshine as yet, and her dress, though if you were to see it now, any present lady of V anity Fair would pronounce it to be the most foolish and preposterous attire ever worn, was as handsome in her eyesand those of the public, some five-and-twenty years since, as the most brilliant costume of the most famous beautyof the present season. A score of years hence that too, that milliner's wonder, will have passed into the domainof the absurd, along with all previous vanities. But we are wandering too much. Mrs. Rawdon's dress waspronounced to be charmante on the eventful day of her presentation. Even good little Lady Jane was forced to acknowledge this effect, as she looked at her kinswoman, and owned sorrowfully to herself that she was quite inferior in taste to Mrs. Becky.9.She did not know how much care, thought, and genius Mrs. Rawdon had bestowed upon that garment. Rebecca had as good taste as any milliner in Europe, and such a clever way of doing things as Lady Jane little understood. The latter quickly spied out the magnificence of the brocade of Becky's train, and the splendour of the lace on her dress.The brocade was an old remnant, Becky said; and asfor the lace, it was a great bargain. She had had it these hundred years.11."My dear Mrs. Crawley, it must have cost a little fortune," Lady Jane said, looking down at her own lace, which was not nearly so good; and then examining the quality of the ancient brocade which formed the material of Mrs. Rawdon's Court dress, she felt inclined to say that she could not afford such fine clothing, but checked that speech, with an effort, as one uncharitableto her kinswoman.12.And yet, if Lady Jane had known all, I think even her kindly temper would have failed her. The fact is, when she was putting Sir Pitt's house in order, Mrs. Rawdon had found the lace and the brocade in old wardrobes,the property of the former ladies of the house, and had quietly carried the goods home, and had suited them to her own little person. Briggs saw her take them, asked no questions, told no stories; but I believe quite sympathised with her on this matter, and so wouldmany another honest woman.13.And the diamonds--"Where the doose did you get the diamonds, Becky?" said her husband, admiring some jewels which he had never seen before and which sparkled in her ears and on her neck with brilliance and profusion. Becky blushed a little and looked at him hard for a moment. Pitt Crawley blushed a little too, and looked out of window. The fact is, he had given her a very small portion of the brilliants; a pretty diamond clasp, which confined a pearl necklace which she wore- and the Baronet had omitted to mention the circumstance tohis lady.15.Becky looked at her husband, and then at Sir Pitt,with an air of saucy triumph--as much as to say, "ShallI betray you?""Guess!" she said to her husband. "Why, you silly man," she continued, "where do you suppose I got them? --all except the little clasp, which a dear friend of mine gave me long ago. I hired them, to be sure. I hired them at Mr. Polonius's, in Coventry Street. Y ou don't suppose that all the diamonds which go to Court belong to the wearers; like those beautiful stones which Lady Jane has, and which are much handsomer than any which I have,I am certain."They are family jewels," said Sir Pitt, again looking uneasy. And in this family conversation the carriage rolled down the street, until its cargo was finally discharged at the gates of the palace where the Sovereign was sitting in state.The diamonds, which had created Rawdon's admiration, never went back to Mr. Polonius, of Coventry Street, and that gentleman never applied for their restoration, butthey retired into a little private repository, in an old desk, which Amelia Sedley had given her years and years ago, and in which Becky kept a number of useful and, perhaps, valuable things, about which her husbandknew nothing. To know nothing, or little, is in the nature of some husbands. To hide, in the nature of how many women? Oh, ladies! how many of you have surreptitious milliners' bills? How many of you have gowns and bracelets which you daren't show, or which you wear trembling?--trembling, and coaxing with smiles the husband by your side, who does not know the new velvet gown from the old one, or the new bracelet from lastyear's, or has any notion that the ragged-looking yellow lace scarf cost forty guineas and that Madame Bobinot is writing dunning letters every week for the money!19.Thus Rawdon knew nothing about the brilliant diamond ear-rings, or the superb brilliant ornament which decorated the fair bosom of his lady; but Lord Steyne, who was in his place at Court, as Lord of the Powder Closet, and one of the great dignitaries and illustrious defences of the throne of England, and came up with allhis stars, garters, collars, and cordons, and paid particular attention to the little woman, knew whence the jewelscame and who paid for them.20.As he bowed over her he smiled, and quoted the hackneyed and beautiful lines from The Rape of the Lock about Belinda's diamonds, "which Jews might kiss and infidels adore.""But I hope your lordship is orthodox," said the littlelady with a toss of her head. And many ladies roundabout whispered and talked, and many gentlemen nodded and whispered, as they saw what marked attention thegreat nobleman was paying to the little adventuress.22.What were the circumstances of the interview between Rebecca Crawley, nee Sharp, and her Imperial Master,it does not become such a feeble and inexperienced penas mine to attempt to relate. The dazzled eyes close before that Magnificent Idea. Loyal respect and decency tell even the imagination not to look too keenly and audaciouslyabout the sacred audience-chamber, but to back away rapidly, silently, and respectfully, making profoundbows out of the August Presence.23.This may be said, that in all London there was no more loyal heart than Becky's after this interview. The name of her king was always on her lips, and he was proclaimed by her to be the most charming of men. She went to Colnaghi's and ordered the finest portrait of him that art had produced, and credit could supply. She chose that famous one in which the best of monarchs is represented in a frock-coat with a fur collar, and breeches and silk stockings, simpering on a sofa from under his curly brown wig. She had him painted in a brooch and wore it--indeed she amused and somewhat pestered heracquaintance with her perpetual talk about his urbanity and beauty. Who knows! Perhaps the little woman thought she might play the part of a Maintenon or a Pompadour.But the finest sport of all after her presentation was tohear her talk virtuously. She had a few female acquaintances, not, it must be owned, of the very highest reputationin V anity Fair. But being made an honest woman of,so to speak, Becky would not consort any longer withthese dubious ones, and cut Lady Crackenbury when the latter nodded to her from her opera-box, and gave Mrs. Washington White the go-by in the Ring. "One must, my dear, show one is somebody," she said. "One mustn't be seen with doubtful people. I pity Lady Crackenbury from my heart, and Mrs. Washington White may be a verygood-natured person. YOU may go and dine with them,as you like your rubber. But I mustn't, and won't; andyou will have the goodness to tell Smith to say I am notat home when either of them calls."The particulars of Becky's costume were in the newspapers--feathers, lappets, superb diamonds, and all therest. Lady Crackenbury read the paragraph in bitternessof spirit and discoursed to her followers about the airswhich that woman was giving herself. Mrs. Bute Crawley and her young ladies in the country had a copy of the Morning Post from town, and gave a vent to their honestindignation. "If you had been sandy-haired, green-eyed,and a French rope-dancer's daughter," Mrs. Bute saidto her eldest girl (who, on the contrary, was a veryswarthy, short, and snub-nosed young lady), "Y ou mighthave had superb diamonds forsooth, and have beenpresented at Court by your cousin, the Lady Jane. But you'reonly a gentlewoman, my poor dear child. Y ou have onlysome of the best blood in England in your veins, andgood principles and piety for your portion. I, myself,the wife of a Baronet's younger brother, too, neverthought of such a thing as going to Court--nor wouldother people, if good Queen Charlotte had been alive."In this way the worthy Rectoress consoled herself, andher daughters sighed and sat over the Peerage all night.译文蓓基对于克劳莱的一家之主那一番关切和殷勤，总算得到了极大的酬报。

VanityFair名利场英文简介读后感故事梗概
VanityFair名利场英文简介读后感故事梗概第一篇：Vanity Fair 名利场英文简介读后感故事梗概Vanity Fair: A Novel without a Hero is written by William Makepeace Thackeray.This novel tells the lives of two starkly contrasted girls: Becky Sharp, orphaned and poor but ingenious, and Amelia Sedley, sheltered daughter of a rich city merchant.They two meet at Miss Pinkerton’s Academy for young ladies, the former driven by social ambition, while the latter by her delicate heart.And it satirizes the society in early 19th-century Britain.The book gives me an entire view of the life which is pretty extravagant.It tells us that Becky is a beautiful, strong-willed and cunning young woman who is determined to make her way to the upper society.She makes every possible effort by hooking or by crooking to get rid of poverty.And she failed in the end.By contrast, Amelia Sedley is a good-natured, loveable though simple-minded young girl.She does not understand what life is.And she is portrayed by her husband and friend Becky.She is such a coward that she does not run counter to her fate and always accepts the reality quite contently as it is.She is so pitiful and conventional.Yet God blesses her, she comes across a perfect man Dobbin and gets married to him at last.After finished reading, I found that a vanity fair is a hypocritical, commercial and money-grabbing aristocratic society.Although the book was written in the 19th century, it still can reflect the reality nowadays.In our society, some people are unable to see things clearly.They are confused because their minds are full of wealth, power, vanity and so on.And they become slaves of vanity eventually.Since vanity fair is a trap that everyone is likely to step into, we had better be careful when weare pursuing something.第二篇：名利场读后感《名利场》读后感---现实与美好看来我还是喜欢那种令人满意的结局，虽然算不上皆大欢喜，不过也够令人为主人公欢呼喝彩的了，名利场读后感。

《名利场》，是英国著名的讽刺性批判现实主义小说。故 事取材于很热闹的英国十九世纪中上层社会。当时国家强 盛，工商业发达，由榨压殖民地或剥削劳工而发财的富商 大贾正主宰着这个社会，英法两国争权的战争也在这时响 起了炮声。中上层社会各式各等人物，都忙着争权夺位， 争名求利，所谓“天下攘攘，皆为利往，天下熙熙，皆为 利来”，名利、权势、利禄，原是相连相通的。 萨克雷写小说力求客观，不以他本人的喜爱或愿望而对人 物、对事实有所遮饰和歪曲。人情的好恶，他面面俱到， 不遮掩善良人物的缺点，也不遗漏狡猾、鄙俗人的一节可 取。全部故事里没有一个英雄人物，所以《名利场》的副 题是《没有主角的小说》，就是现代所谓“非英雄”的小 说。这一点，也是《名利场》的创新。

CHAPTER I Chiswick Mall（Excerpt）
This letter completed, Miss Pinkerton proceeded to write her own name, and Miss Sedley's, in the fly-leaf of a Johnson's Dictionary-- the interesting work which she invariably presented to her scholars, on their departure from the mall. On the cover was inserted a copy of "Lines addressed to a young lady on quitting Miss Pinkerton's school, at the Mall; by the late revered Doctor Samuel Johnson." In fact, the Lexicographer's name was always on the lips of this majestic woman, and a visit he had paid to her was the cause of her reputation and her fortune. Being commanded by her elder sister to get "the Dictionary" from the cupboard, Miss Jemima had extracted two copies of the book from the receptacle in question. When Miss Pinkerton had finished the inscription in the first, Jemima, with rather a dubious and timid air, handed her the second. "For whom is this, Miss Jemima?" said Miss Pinkerton, with awful coldness. "For Becky Sharp," answered Jemima, trembling very much, and blushing over her withered face and neck, as she turned her back on her sister. "For Becky Sharp: she's going too." "MISS JEMIMA!" exclaimed Miss Pinkerton, in the largest capitals. "Are you in your senses? Replace the Dictionary in the closet, and never venture to take such a liberty in future."

Although schoolmistresses' letters are to be trusted no more nor less than churchyard epitaphs; yet, as it sometimes happens that a person departs this life who is really deserving of all the praises the stone cutter carves over his bones; who IS a good Christian, a good parent, child, wife, or husband; who actually does leave a disconsolate family to mourn his loss; so in academies of the male and female sex it occurs every now and then that the pupil is fully worthy of the praises bestowed by the disinterested instructor. Now, Miss Amelia Sedley was a young lady of this singular species; and deserved not only all that Miss Pinkerton said in her praise, but had many charming qualities which that pompous old Minerva of a woman could not see, from the differences of rank and age between her pupil and herself.
