文学名著中一些经典人物的形象往往深入人心、令读者难以忘怀。作者煞费苦心为笔下的"男神"、"女神"设计的惊艳登场，更可谓经典中的经典。不管他们的故事是喜是悲，他们初次登场的都在读者心中铸就了永恒。本期，就让我们一起回味部分名著主角的出场瞬间。
【男神篇】
1. 达西 (Darcy)
出处：《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice)
作者：简·奥斯汀 (Jane Austen)
原文：
His brother-in-law, Mr Hurst, merely looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year. The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr Bingley, and he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased.
他的姐夫赫斯脱先生只不过像个普通绅士，但是他的朋友达西先生却立刻引起全场的注意，因为他身材魁伟，眉清目秀，举止高贵，于是他进场不到五分钟，大家都纷纷传说他每年有一万磅的收入。男宾们都称赞他一表人才，女宾们都说他比彬格莱先生俊美得多。人们差不多有半个晚上都带着爱慕的目光看着他。最后人们才发现他为人骄傲，看不起人，巴结不上他，因此对他起了厌恶的感觉，他那众望所归的极盛一时的场面才黯然失色。
评注：《傲慢与偏见》中最吸引人的就是伊丽莎白与达西的悲欢离合。达西出场是在乡间舞会上，这位俊朗的富家子教养良好、举止优雅，同时也有着傲慢的性格。他在舞会上落落寡欢，宁愿闲坐也不跳舞。明明被伊丽莎白吸引，却语带讽刺使她心有芥蒂。一个眼光锐利，另一个聪敏机智；一个态度傲慢，另一个心怀偏见。幸好最后，两人得以化解心结，终成眷属。
2. 罗切斯特 (Rochester)
男主人公：《简·爱》(Jane Eyre)
作者：夏洛蒂·勃朗特 (Charlotte Bronte)
原文：
Something of daylight still lingered, and the moon was waxing bright: I could see him plainly. His figure was enveloped in a riding cloak, fur collared and steel clasped; its details were not apparent, but I traced the general points of middle height and considerable breadth of chest. He had a dark face, with stern features and a heavy brow; his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted just now; he was past youth, but had not reached middle-age; perhaps he might be thirty-five.
白昼的余光迟迟没有离去，月亮越来越大，也越来越亮，这时我能将他看得清楚了。他身上裹着骑手披风，戴着皮毛领，系着钢扣子。他的脸部看不大清楚，但我依稀辨认得出，他大体中等身材，胸膛很宽。他的脸庞黝黑，面容严厉、眉毛浓密；他的眼睛和紧锁的双眉看上去刚才遭到了挫折、并且愤怒过。他青春已逝，但未届中年，大约三十五岁。
评注：相对于其他欧美经典小说里的男主人公，罗切斯特在登场之时就已经遭遇了相当多的不幸。这也使得他给简的第一印象是冷淡阴郁，甚至是喜怒无常的。但随着剧情进展，罗切斯特冷面下的温柔和善良开始感动简，同时他不堪的过去也渐渐浮上水面。
3. 瑞德 (Rhett)
出处：《飘》(Gone with the Wind)
作者：玛格丽特·米切尔 (Margaret Mitchell)
原文：
He looked quite old, at least thirty-five. He was a tall man and powerfully built. Scarlett thought she had never seen a man with such wide shoulders, so heavy with muscles, almost too heavy for gentility. When her eye caught his, he smiled, showing animal-white teeth below a close-clipped black mustache. He was dark of face, swarthy as a pirate, and his eyes were as bold and black as any pirate's appraising a galleon to be scuttled or a maiden to be ravished. There was a cool recklessness in his face and a cynical humor in his mouth as he smiled at her, and Scarlett caught her breath. She did not know who he could be, but there was undeniably a look of good blood in his dark face. It showed in the thin hawk nose over the full red lips, the high forehead and the wide-set eyes.
那人的样子看起来已经很老，至少有三十五岁了。但他个儿很高，体魄很强壮。斯嘉丽觉得自己生平从未见过这么阔大的肩膀，这么厚实的肌肉，几乎厚实得不像一个上流人。当她的眼睛跟他的接触的时候，他微笑了一下，从两撇修得短短的黑胡须底下露出一副野兽一般白的牙齿来。他的脸是黑黑的，黑得像一个海盗，他漆黑的眼睛英勇无畏，跟海盗主张凿破海船或抢劫处女时的眼睛一般。他的神情之中现出一种冷漠的轻慢，笑时嘴角带着一种怀疑的幽默，竟把斯嘉丽一怔。她并不知道那人是谁，但他那黝黑的脸庞上面无可否认地现着良好的血统。他那全红嘴唇上面的瘦削的鹰鼻，他那高高的颧骨，他那离得很开的眼睛，都显示着良好血统的形迹。
评注：白瑞德首次出场在斯嘉丽·奥哈拉恋上艾希礼之后。玛格丽特笔下的白瑞德个性粗率、实际、不羁，视道德如无物。他是嘲弄世俗的成功者，富于勇气和挑战性，往往给人一种玩世不恭、轻狂风流的感觉。他的爱看似平淡不经意，实则非常深沉。虽然他表面玩世不恭，难以捉摸，但是他却了解斯嘉丽的内心需要，默默地站在她身后爱着她、守候呵护着她，随时准备帮助她。但最终在女儿去世的打击下，饱受折磨的白瑞德还是选择了离开。
4. 拉尔夫 (Ralph)
出处：《荆棘鸟》(The Thorn Birds)
作者：考琳·麦卡洛 (Colleen McCulloug)
原文：
He had to be aware of how he looked: the height and the perfect proportions of his body, the fine aristocratic features, the way every physical element had been put together with a degree of care about the appearance of the finished product God lavished on few of His creations. From the loose black curls of his head and the startling blue of his eyes to the small, slender hands and feet, he was perfect. Yes, he had to be conscious of what he was. And yet there was an aloofness about him, a way he had of making her feel he had never been enslaved by his beauty, nor ever would be. He would use it to get what he wanted without compunction if it would help, but not as though he was enamored of it; rather as if he deemed people beneath contempt for being influenced by it.
他一定知道他自己的长相如何：高高的身材和匀称的体魄，英俊的富于贵族气派的容貌，身体的各个部分搭配得极其和谐。他是上帝得意之作，在上帝创造万物中，如此慷慨的赐予是寥若晨星的。从他那头蓬松乌黑的卷发和那令人惊讶的湛蓝的眼睛，到他那小而纤细的手脚，都是美不胜言。是的，他一定意识到他的一切。然而，他身上有一种超然的神态，这使她感到他从未被自己的美貌所奴役，并且永远也不会。倘若必要的话，他会若无其事地运用他的美貌去得到他想得到的东西，不过，他好像并不沉醉于自己的美貌，他似乎认为受自己的美貌影响的人是最不足挂齿的。
评注：拉尔夫出场时，正值他因冒犯主教而被贬到荒凉、闭塞、与文明世界隔绝的偏远之地时。他认为荒凉的德罗海达是他培养自我克制的好地方。但是，他没料到，在这里自己非但没有学会克制，反而让自己的欲望一发不可收拾，因为他在这里遇见了"命中注定的试炼"——梅吉。在照顾只有十几岁梅吉的过程中，拉尔夫不由自主地被她吸引，渐生爱意。但对身为神职人员的拉尔夫来说，女人和爱情是禁果，这酿就了他们之间爱情的悲剧。
5. 于连 (Julien)
出处：《红与黑》(The Red and the Black/Le Rouge et le Noir)
作者；司汤达 (Stendhal)
原文：
His cheeks were purple and he kept his eyes on the ground. He was a lad eighteen or nineteen years of age, small in stature, with irregular but delicate features, and of a constitution apparently weakly. His nose was aquiline; and his large black eyes, which in quiet moments showed thought and vivacity, were ablaze now with the fiercest hatred. His dark brown hair, growing very low on his forehead, gave him a narrow brow, that in moments of anger looked positively wicked. His face would hardly be remarked among the infinite variety of human countenances by any feature particularly striking. His slight, well-proportioned figure gave evidence more of agility than of strength. From his earliest childhood his extremely pensive air and great paleness had given his father the idea that he would not live long, or that he would be a burden on the family.
他的双颊泛着青紫，两眼低垂，他是个十八、九岁的瘦小青年，看起来羸弱，面部的轮廓也不大周正，但颇为清秀，还有一个鹰勾鼻子。一双大而黑的眼睛，静时显露出沉思和热情。此刻却闪烁着最凶恶的憎恨的表情。深褐色的头发长得很低，盖住了大半个额头，发怒的时候凶相毕露。他的容貌并不出众，在芸芸众生中并不会引人注目。他的身材修长而匀称，更多地显示出敏捷而非力量。自幼年起，他那极端沉思的神情和极为苍白的脸色，就使他的父亲以为他活不长，或者将成为家庭的负担。
评注：
于连首次出场是在遭父亲毒打之后。作者通过对他外貌和神情的描写，展现给读者的是一位身体纤弱却具有反抗意识的少年。作为山区农民之子，于连不擅长做体力活儿却很会读书。从小就一直被狡黠、吝啬的文盲父亲当成家庭的累赘。他深知只有凭借自己的才华和奋斗，才能进入上流社会。幼时的成长环境和后来的人生经历造就了他矛盾的性格和内心世界深刻而复杂的特点。他既卑怯又勇敢，既狡猾又诚实，既老练又天真，既复杂又单纯，所有这些水火不容的对立特征，都促成了他最终的悲剧。
【女神篇】
1. 斯嘉丽 (Scarlett)
出处：《飘》(Gone with the Wind)
作者：玛格丽特·米切尔 (Margaret Mitchell)
原文：
Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin - that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.
那斯嘉丽·奥哈拉小姐长得并不美，可是极富于魅力，男人见了她，往往要着迷，就像塔尔顿家那一对双胞胎兄弟似的。原来这位小姐脸上显然混杂着两种特质：一种是母亲给她的娇柔，一种是父亲给她的豪爽。因为她母亲是法兰西血统的海滨贵族，父亲是个皮色深浓的爱尔兰人，所以遗传给她的质地难免不调和。可是质地虽然不调和，她那一张脸蛋儿却实在迷人得很，下巴颏儿尖尖的，牙床骨儿方方的。她的眼珠子是一味的淡绿色，不杂一丝儿的茶褐，周围竖着一圈儿粗黑的睫毛，眼角微微有点翘，上面斜竖着两撇墨黑的蛾眉，在她那木兰花一般白的皮肤上，划出两条异常惹眼的斜线。就是她那一身皮肤，也正是南方女人最最喜爱的，谁要长着这样的皮肤，就要拿帽子、面罩、手套之类当心保护着，舍不得让佐治亚那大热的太阳晒黑。
评注：
小说一开篇，斯嘉丽便粉墨登场。这段文字呈现给读者的不仅是她的天生丽质，还有她身上那与生俱来的"不调和"气质。这"不调和"正是她的魅力所在——母亲的高雅气质和谆谆训诫赋予了她美丽的外表和高雅的举止，但是父亲来自爱尔兰新移民式的狂野和不羁的个性又给她的身上添加了不安于世事的性格。斯嘉丽的一生也体现这种驯服同时又不羁的特点，她不屑于欧洲贵族的传统价值观，敢于挑战权威。她个性中的自私、狡黠、精明、任性与果敢、独立、富有牺牲精神相互共存，她对爱情的坚定与婚姻的利己相互矛盾。这复杂的多元性格集中在一人身上，使其形象熠熠生辉。
2. 爱斯梅拉达 (Esmeralda)
出处：《巴黎圣母院》 (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame/Notre Dame de Paris)
作者：雨果 (Victor Hugo)
原文：
She was not tall, but her slender and elastic figure made her appear so. Her skin was brown, but one guessed that by day it would have the warm golden tint of the Andalusian and Roman women. Her small foot too, so perfectly at ease in its narrow, graceful shoe, was quite Andalusian. She was dancing, pirouetting, whirling on an old Persian carpet spread carelessly on the ground, and each time her radiant face passed before you, you caught the flash of her great dark eyes.
她个子不高，但是身材苗条挺拔，因此显得很颀长。她肤色棕褐，但可以猜想到，白天里看上去，大概像安达卢西亚姑娘和罗马姑娘那样有着美丽的金色光泽。她那一双纤足也是安达卢西亚式的，套在优雅细窄的鞋子里，屈伸自如。她在一张随便垫在她脚下的旧波斯地毯上翩翩舞着，旋转着，涡旋着；每次一旋转，她那张容光焕发的脸蛋儿从您面前闪过，那双乌亮的大眼睛就向您投过来闪电般的目光。
The crowd stood round her open-mouthed, every eye fixed upon her, and in truth, as she danced thus to the drumming of a tambourine held high above her head by her round and delicate arms, slender, fragile, airy as a wasp, with her gold-laced bodice closely moulded to her form, her bare shoulders, her gaily striped skirt swelling out round her, affording glimpses of her exquisitely shaped limbs, the dusky masses of her hair, her gleaming eyes, she seemed a creature of some other world.
她周围的人个个目光定定的，嘴巴张得大大的。果然不假，她就这样飞舞着，两只滚圆净洁的手臂高举过头上，把一只巴斯克手鼓敲得嗡嗡作响；只见她的头部纤细，柔弱，转动起来如胡蜂那样敏捷；身着金色胸衣，平整合身，裙子色彩斑斓，蓬松鼓胀；双肩裸露，裙子不时掀开，露出一对优美的细腿；秀发乌黑，目光似焰；总之，这真是一个巧夺天工的尤物。
评注：爱斯梅拉达的出场以她在广场上舞蹈为开头，她曼妙的舞姿和艳丽的容貌吸引了流浪诗人甘果瓦，也在副主教克洛德内心种下了邪念。作为雨果笔下"美"的化身，她身上兼有处子的天真烂漫和女人的热情妩媚，且心地善良，不知自我保护。因此被男人们垂涎玩弄，最后不得不含冤而死。
3. 玛格丽特 (Marguerite)
出处：《茶花女》(The Lady of the Camellias/La Dame aux camélias)
作者：小仲马 (Alexandre Dumas)
原文：
It was impossible to see more charm in beauty than in that of Marguerite... Set, in an oval of indescribable grace, two black eyes, surmounted by eyebrows of so pure a curve that it seemed as if painted; veil these eyes with lovely lashes, which, when drooped, cast their shadow on the rosy hue of the cheeks; trace a delicate, straight nose, the nostrils a little open, in an ardent aspiration toward the life of the senses; design a regular mouth, with lips parted graciously over teeth as white as milk; colour the skin with the down of a peach that no hand has touched, and you will have the general aspect of that charming countenance. The hair, black as jet, waving naturally or not, was parted on the forehead in two large folds and draped back over the head, leaving in sight just the tip of the ears, in which there glittered two diamonds, worth four to five thousand francs each.
玛格丽特可真是个绝色女子……在一张流露着难以描绘其风韵的鹅蛋脸上，嵌着两只乌黑的大眼睛，上面两道弯弯细长的眉毛，纯净得犹如人工画就的一般，眼睛上盖着浓密的睫毛，当眼帘低垂时，给玫瑰色的脸颊投去一抹淡淡的阴影；细巧而挺直的鼻子透出股灵气，鼻翼微鼓，像是对情欲生活的强烈渴望；一张端正的小嘴轮廓分明，柔唇微启，露出一口洁白如奶的牙齿；皮肤颜色就像未经人手触摸过的蜜桃上的绒衣——这些就是这张美丽的脸蛋给您的大致印象。黑玉色的头发，不知是天然的还是梳理成的，像波浪一样地鬈曲着，在额前分梳成两大绺，一直拖到脑后，露出两个耳垂，耳垂上闪烁着两颗各值四五千法郎的钻石耳环。
评注：玛格丽特虽是一位风尘女子，但外表与内心都极为纯洁美丽，她被巴黎的贵族争相追逐。由于她总戴一束茶花，因此人称"茶花女"。当男主人公阿芒与她相遇时，她已是巴黎名妓，两人在街上擦身而过，谁也想不到会有之后的爱恨纠葛。然而，两人终因误会而分开。玛格丽特一病不起，最终离开人世。
4. 凯瑟琳 (Catherine)
出处：《呼啸山庄》(Wuthering Heights)
作者：艾米莉·勃朗特 (Emily Bronte)
原文：
Certainly, she had ways with her such as I never saw a child take up before; ... Her spirits were always at high-water mark, her tongue always going - singing, laughing, and plaguing everybody who would not do the same. A wild, wicked slip she was - but she had the bonniest eye, the sweetest smile, and lightest foot in the parish; and, after all, I believe she meant no harm; for when once she made you cry in good earnest, it seldom happened that she would not keep you company, and oblige you to be quiet that you might comfort her.
当然，她有些怪脾气，那是我在别的孩子身上从未见到过的；……她总是兴高采烈，舌头动个不停——唱呀，笑呀，谁不附和着她，就纠缠不休，真是个又野又坏的小姑娘。可是在教区内就数她有双最漂亮的眼睛，最甜蜜的微笑，最轻巧的步子。话说回来，我相信她并没有恶意，因为她一旦把你真惹哭了，就很少不陪着你哭，而且使你不得不静下来再去安慰她。
评注：凯瑟琳身上有一股其他名著女主角身上少有的野性。她本是大家闺秀，但生性顽皮好动，不肯循规蹈矩，与男主角希斯克利夫青梅竹马，却无奈分手，最终遭到对方恶毒的报复，在痛苦中离世。凯瑟琳之死在全书中部，但希斯克利夫苦恋贯穿了全书，使她仿佛无处不在。
5. 安娜 (Anna)
出处：《安娜·卡列尼娜》(Anna Karenina/AHHa KapeHиHa)
作者：列夫·托尔斯泰 (Leo Tolstoy)
原文：
As he looked round, she too turned her head. Her shining gray eyes, that looked dark from the thick lashes, rested with friendly attention on his face, as though she were recognizing him, and then promptly turned away to the passing crowd, as though seeking someone. In that brief look Vronsky had time to notice the suppressed eagerness which played over her face, and flitted between the brilliant eyes and the faint smile that curved her red lips. It was as though her nature were so brimming over with something that against her will it showed itself now in the flash of her eyes, and now in her smile. Deliberately she shrouded the light in her eyes, but it shone against her will in the faintly perceptible smile.
当他回过头来看的时候，她也掉过头来了。她那双在浓密的睫毛下面显得阴暗了的、闪耀着的灰色眼睛亲切地盯着他的脸，好像她在辨认他一样，随后又立刻转向走过的人群，好像是在寻找什么人似的。在那短促的一瞥中，弗龙斯基已经注意到有一股压抑着的生气流露在她的脸上，在她那亮晶晶的眼睛和把她的朱唇弯曲了的隐隐约约的微笑之间掠过。仿佛有一种过剩的生命力洋溢在她整个的身心，违反她的意志，时而在她的眼睛的闪光里，时而在她的微笑中显现出来。她故意地竭力隐藏住她眼睛里的光辉，但它却违反她的意志在隐约可辨的微笑里闪烁着。
评注：托尔斯泰在安娜正式出场前做了许多铺垫，一个家世显赫，魅力非凡的贵妇人的形象呼之欲出。但她真正出场时却又相对低调——弗龙斯基在火车站与她相遇，因惊艳而回望，安娜也恰在这时对他报以"回眸一笑"。就是这"惊鸿一瞥"瞬间虏获了弗龙斯基的心。而从托尔斯泰的描写之中，她浪漫多情，不受束缚的性格也稍显端倪。
