內容簡介
《世界名著典藏係列:木偶奇遇記(英文全本)》是科洛迪的代錶作,發錶於1880年。它敘述老人澤皮德把一塊能哭會笑的木頭雕成木偶,並把取得生命的小木偶當成兒子。老人賣掉上衣,供兒子上學。可是小木偶一心貪玩,為瞭看戲不惜賣掉課本。在酒店獲得好心老闆的五枚金幣,迴傢路上受狐狸和貓的欺騙,金幣被搶走:過後又遇上強盜,差點兒被他們吊死,幸虧巧遇仙女而得救。被狐狸和貓騙走金幣後去起訴,又被稀裏糊塗的笨蛋法官投進監獄;齣獄後,又被捕獸器夾住,被迫當瞭看傢狗。他後悔極瞭,心想:“如果我像其他好孩子一樣喜歡讀書、做工,現在我就會和爸爸呆在一起過著幸福的生活,就不會在這裏給人傢當他的看門狗瞭。”
夜裏,他因幫助主人抓住黃鼠狼而重獲自由。他一心想成為一個用功讀書的好孩子,可是又經不起誘惑。在壞同學的慫恿下又逃學到海邊看魚,後又被引誘到玩兒國,在瘋狂的玩瞭幾天之後,變成一頭蠢驢。後來還是仙女搭救瞭他。最後,他們父子在鯊魚腹中意外重逢,並設法逃瞭齣來,在海邊住下。從此,小木偶每天去做工,有空還編籃子,晚上讀書、寫字,後來得知仙女病瞭,便把自己所有的錢給瞭她。仙女很感激,於是皮諾曹終於成為一個誠實、聽話、又愛學習,還能幫助父母的好孩子。
《世界名著典藏係列:木偶奇遇記(英文全本)》描述瞭木偶皮諾喬從一個任性、淘氣、懶惰、愛說謊、不關心他人、不愛學習、整天隻想著玩的木偶,變成一個懂禮貌、愛學習、勤奮工作、孝敬長輩、關愛他人的好孩子的過程,以及他所經曆的一連串的奇遇,充滿瞭童趣與想像。發生於皮諾曹身上的故事告訴我們,一個孩子的自然天性在許多方麵都是需要修正的。也就是說,在自然天性裏往往會有不少不夠盡善盡美的錶現,等待著我們的逐步剋服。

精彩書摘
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.
