〔作者前言〕为使可怜的读者不致被本文弄得迷惑不解,我违反自己以往的习惯,决定对这六个场景逐一作出说明。如果有人认为这种导读方式有辱于他,那么,他大可略去下面的几段文字。 第一场景。约翰和玛丽安娜是按严格的生活准则在富足的物质条件下被培养成人的。对于他们来说,规规矩矩的生活方式从来就不是负担或者错误。他们与这种公认的模式配合相宜,并且准备在这种精神氛围中继续生活。从前他们的政治活动与此并没有丝毫的矛盾,反而稳固了这种模式。 [Preface of the Author] In order to keep poor readers from being confused by this article, I violated my past habits and decided to explain the six scenes one by one. If some people think that this way of reading demeaning to him, then, he probably omitted the following paragraphs of text. The first scene. John and Marianne were nurtured into adulthood under the material conditions of strict materialism according to strict rules of life. To them, a decent lifestyle is never a burden or a mistake. They fit in with this recognized pattern and are prepared to continue living in this spirit. In the past, their political activities did not have the slightest contradiction with it, but instead stabilized the model.
