狄更斯笔下的伦敦环境

Environment of London in Works by Dickens

伦敦是狄更斯小说的主要背景,也是其小说事件发生和人物活动的主要场所。在狄更斯的笔下,伦敦的自然环境、物质环境和生存环境都是恶劣的。狄更斯笔下的环境除了写实之外,往往也具有深刻的象征性,特别是其小说中的河流、街道等。

London is the main background in Dickens’ s novels, as well as the main spot where events happen and characters act. In his works the natural, material and living environments are terrible. Apart from depicting realistically, Dickens’ s description of the environments are symbolic, especially the depiction of rivers, streets, etc.
