内容简介
《爱玛》是英国女作家简·奥斯汀较有影响的长篇小说,是她作品中艺术上思想上最成熟的一部。小说主人公爱玛是个美丽聪明的地主小姐,喜欢与人作媒。她在无聊之中把邻近的一个孤女哈丽埃特置于自己的保护之下,主观臆想地安排她的恋爱。哈丽埃特很随和地一次又一次“爱”上了爱玛给她选择的“求婚者”。最后在爱玛的不负责的怂恿下,竟自以为“爱”上了本地最大的地主兼地方官奈特利先生,这时爱玛才猛然发现原来自己是爱奈特利先生的,最后两人都找到了与自己相匹配的伴侣。作者在小说中,已把爱情、婚姻与财产、社会地位联系起来。书中还穿插了美丽优雅的简费尔法克斯和爱玛家庭女教师泰勒小姐的继子,富家子弟弗兰克丘吉尔的婚恋故事。小说现实主义成分增多,戏剧成分减少,结构精微巧妙,喜剧气氛弥漫全书,趣味横生。

精彩书摘
Emma made no answer, ana tneo to loOK cneertully uncon-cemea, DUtwas really feeling uncomfortable and wanting him very much to be gone.She did not repent what she had done; she still thought herself a betterjudge of such a point of female right and refinement than he could be; butyet she had a sort of habitual respect for his judgment in general, whichmade her dislike having it so loudly against her; and to have him sittingjust opposite to her in angry state, was very disagreeable. Some minutespassed in this unpleasant silence, with only one attempt on Emmas side totalk of the weather, but he made no answer. He was thinking. The result ofhis thoughts appeared at last in these words.
"Robert Martin has no great loss——if he can but think so; and I hope itwill not be long before he does. Your views for Harriet are best known toyourself; but as you make no secret of your love of match-making, it is fairto suppose that views, and plans, and projects you have;——and as a friend Ishall just hint to you that if Elton is the man, I think it will be all labour invain."
Emma laughed and disclaimed. He continued,
"Depend upon it, Elton will not do. Elton is a very good sort of man,and a very respectable vicar of Highbury, but not at all likely to make animprudent match. He knows the value of a good income as well as anybody. Elton may talk sentimentally, but he will act rationally. He is as wellacquainted with his own claims, as you can be with Harriets. He knowsthat he is a very handsome young man, and a great favourite whereverhe goes; and from his general way of talking in unreserved moments,when there are only men present, I am convinced that he does not meanto throw himself away. I have heard him speak with great animation of alarge family of young ladies that his sisters are intimate with, who have alltwenty thousand pounds apiece."
"I am very.much obliged to you," said Emma, laughing again. "If I hadset my heart on Mr. Eltons marrying Harriet, it would have been very kindto open my eyes; but at present I only want to keep Harriet to myself. Ihave done with match-making indeed. I could never hope to equal my owndoings at Randalls. I shall leave off while I am well."
