内容简介
《世界名著典藏系列:木偶奇遇记(英文全本)》是科洛迪的代表作,发表于1880年。它叙述老人泽皮德把一块能哭会笑的木头雕成木偶,并把取得生命的小木偶当成儿子。老人卖掉上衣,供儿子上学。可是小木偶一心贪玩,为了看戏不惜卖掉课本。在酒店获得好心老板的五枚金币,回家路上受狐狸和猫的欺骗,金币被抢走:过后又遇上强盗,差点儿被他们吊死,幸亏巧遇仙女而得救。被狐狸和猫骗走金币后去起诉,又被稀里糊涂的笨蛋法官投进监狱;出狱后,又被捕兽器夹住,被迫当了看家狗。他后悔极了,心想:“如果我像其他好孩子一样喜欢读书、做工,现在我就会和爸爸呆在一起过着幸福的生活,就不会在这里给人家当他的看门狗了。”
夜里,他因帮助主人抓住黄鼠狼而重获自由。他一心想成为一个用功读书的好孩子,可是又经不起诱惑。在坏同学的怂恿下又逃学到海边看鱼,后又被引诱到玩儿国,在疯狂的玩了几天之后,变成一头蠢驴。后来还是仙女搭救了他。最后,他们父子在鲨鱼腹中意外重逢,并设法逃了出来,在海边住下。从此,小木偶每天去做工,有空还编篮子,晚上读书、写字,后来得知仙女病了,便把自己所有的钱给了她。仙女很感激,于是皮诺曹终于成为一个诚实、听话、又爱学习,还能帮助父母的好孩子。
《世界名著典藏系列:木偶奇遇记(英文全本)》描述了木偶皮诺乔从一个任性、淘气、懒惰、爱说谎、不关心他人、不爱学习、整天只想着玩的木偶,变成一个懂礼貌、爱学习、勤奋工作、孝敬长辈、关爱他人的好孩子的过程,以及他所经历的一连串的奇遇,充满了童趣与想像。发生于皮诺曹身上的故事告诉我们,一个孩子的自然天性在许多方面都是需要修正的。也就是说,在自然天性里往往会有不少不够尽善尽美的表现,等待着我们的逐步克服。

精彩书摘
Geppetto at this insolent and derisive behaviour felt sadder and more melancholy than he had ever been in his life before; and tuming to Pinocchio he said to him: "You young rascal! You are not yet completed, and you are already beginning to show want of respect to your father! That is bad, my boy, very bad!"
And he dried a tear.
The legs and the feet remained to be done. When Geppetto had finished the feet he received a kick on the point of his nose.
;'I deserve it!" he said to himself; "I should have thought of it sooner! Now it is too late ! "
He then took the puppet under the arms and placed him on the floor to teach him to walk.
Pinocchio's legs were stiff and he could not move, but Geppetto led him by the hand and showed him how to put one foot before the other.
When his legs became flexible Pinocchio began to walk by himself and to run about the room, until, having gone out of the house door, he jumped into the street and escaped.
Poor Geppetto rushed after him but was not able to overtake him, for that rascal Pinocchio leapt in front of him like a hare, and knocking his wooden feet together against the pavement made as
much clatter as twenty pairs ofpeasants' clogs.
"Stop him! stop him!" shouted Geppetto; but the people in the street, seeing a wooden puppet running like a racehorse, stood still in astonishment to look at it, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed, until it beats description.
At last, as good luck would have it, a carabineer arrived who, hearing the uproar, imagined that a colt had escaped from his master. Planting himself courageously with his legs apart in the middle of the road, he waited with the determined purpose of stopping him, and thus preventing the chance of worse disasters. When Pinocchio, still at some distance, saw the carabineer barricading the whole street, he endeavoured to take him by surprise and to pass between his legs. But he failed signally.
The carabineer without disturbing himself in the least caught him cleverly by the nose it was an immense nose of ridiculous proportions that seemed made on purpose to be laid hold of by carabineers and consigned him to Geppetto. Wishing to punish him, Geppetto intended to pull his ears at once. But imagine his feelings when he could not succeed in finding them. And do you know the reason? It was that, in his hurry to model him, he had forgotten to make them.
He then took him by the collar, and as he was leading him away he said to him, shaking his head threateningly: "We will go home at once, and as soon as we arrive we will regulate our accounts, never doubt it."
At this announcement Pinocchio threw himself on the ground and would not take another step. In the meanwhile a crowd of idlers and inquisitive people began to assemble and to make a ring round them.
Some of them said one thing, some another.
