出差的好处就是暂别繁琐家务，拥有个人可支配时间。独自出门走一走，随意驻足写一写，或是瘫在酒店床上静静地看电影《简爱》。以前读外国名著，我会选择《战争与和平》大气磅礴，《基督山伯爵》坚韧传奇，《悲惨世界》底层无奈，以资自我励志。现在心软了，《简爱》能看出“味”了。众所周知，这书讲述一个英国孤儿历经少年磨难，追求平等、尊严，实现纯粹、爱情的女性视角故事。城堡、田庄、树林安谧，英式礼仪、对话经典，对比满屏的“本宫、臣妾”自恋且狗血历史剧情片，这片看起来舒心多了。
“我的心灵跟你一样丰富！要是上帝赐予我一点姿色和充足的财富，我也会使你同我现在一样难舍难分，我不是根据习俗，甚至也不是血肉之躯同你说话，而是我的灵魂同你的灵魂在对话，就仿佛我们两个人穿过坟墓，站在上帝脚下，彼此平等－本来就如此！”I have as much soul as you, -- and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit;just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal, -- as we are!
多么优美的句子，多么流畅的情绪迸发!一改我对英国女作家如罗琳只能《哈利波特》魔幻、无厘头的风范。将来有时间，我愿意再看读一读闻名遐迩的勃朗特三姐妹的《呼啸山庄》和《格雷》。
