TheBronteStory勃朗特一家的故事简介天资到底是什么？它从哪儿来？通常人们认为天资是上帝赋予的，只给那些幸运的人。事实上，我们并不清楚究竟那些人是否算得上幸运。天资似乎并不能使人们幸福，相反会使他们远离人群，因为天资是一种不能共享的东西。然而勃朗特一家的情形表明，天资被赋予了一个家庭。因为天资，这个家庭的成员远离尘世；离开了家他们就得不到快乐。而在家中，作为一个家庭，他们的天资却得以成长。是谁教会他们写作的？是他们自己！而且几乎没有人比他们写得更出色。这本书不是他们写的，而是关于他们的故事。这是他们的父亲未曾写却应该写下的：一个关于他们家庭的故事，虽然他只拥有了那么短时间的家庭。这本书的作者蒂姆·维克瑞从事英语教学工作多年，现在约克郡生活和工作。1Haworth1HaworthTherewasacoldwindthisafternoon，butthesunshoneforanhourortwo．Iwalkedoutonthemoorsbehindthehouse．Thesheepwerehidingfromthewindunderthestonewalls，andthereweregreycloudsoverthehillstothewest．ItisonlyNovember，butIcouldsmellsnowintheair．Itwillbeacoldwinter，thisyearof1855．therectorofthevillageofHaworth．Haworthisavillageofsmall，greystonehousesonthesideofahillinthenorthofEngland，andIliveinahouseatthetopofthehill，nexttothechurchandthegraveyard．Iwalkedthroughthegraveyardtothechurchthisafternoon．AllmyfamilyexceptAnneareburiedthere．Thewindhadblownsomedeadleavesthroughthedoorintothechurch，andIwatchedthemdancinginthesunlightnearthegrave．SoonIshallbeinthatgravewithmywifeandchildren，underthecoldgreystoneanddancingleaves．Itisdarkoutsidenow，anditisveryquietinthishouse．Charlotte'shusband，MrNicholls，isreadinginhisroom，andourservantiscookinginthekitchen．Onlythethreeofusliveherenow．Itisveryquiet．Icanhearthesoundsofthewoodburninginthefire，andthebigclockonthestairs．第1页共43页http://www.en8848.com.cn/原版英语阅读网Thereisanothersoundtoo—thesoundofthewindoutside．Thewindhasmanyvoices．Itsingsandlaughsandshoutstoitselfallnightlong．Lastnightitcriedlikealittlechild，andIgotoutofbedandwenttothewindowtolisten．Therewasnochild，ofcourse．Onlythewindandthegrave-stones，coldinthepalemoonlight．ButIdecidedthentha...
