有声读物

My aunt, meanwhile, began to be seriously worried about my health, as I was getting more and more depressed. So she suggested I should go to Dover for a few days, to make sure that her house was still in good condition, and then to Canterbury, to visit the Wickfields. I agreed willingly, as I was always happy to see Agnes. It was easy to take a few day's hoilday from my work at the lawcourts and with Dr Strong.
与此同时，姨婆开始真正地担心起我的身体状况，因为我一天比一天抑郁。所以她建议我去多佛呆几天，看看她的房子是否依然完好，然后再去坎特伯雷城看看威克菲尔父女。我欣然同意了，因为我总是很高兴见着阿格尼斯。而且从我工作的法院和斯特朗博士那儿请几天假比较容易。
I was glad to find that the person who was renting my aunt's house in Dover was looking after it well. I was then free to continue my journey to Canterbury, that beautiful ancient city, which seemed very little changed since my schooldays. The soft, clean air made me feel better than I had done for weeks.
我很欣慰，发现租用我姨婆在多佛那套房子的人把房子照看得很好。这样，我就有更多的时间继续我旅行的下一站，坎特伯雷，那个美丽而古老的城市，自从我上学时代到现在似乎也没什么改变。这儿轻柔、洁净的空气令我的感觉好了许多，走出了这几个星期以来的阴影。
When I arrived at the Wickfields'House, I found Mr Micawber in Uriah Heep's old office.
我到威克菲尔住所时，看见米考伯先生在尤赖亚·希普原来的办公室。
We were pleased to see each other, but we both felt a little embarrassed. I realized that he did not want to talk about confidential matters concerning the firm of Heep and Wickfield, and he knew that I disliked his employer, Heep. So conversation was difficult, and in the end I was glad to leave him, and go upstairs to look for Agnes.
我们彼此都很高兴见到对方，但都感到有点尴尬。我注意到他不想透露有关希普·威克菲尔律师事务所的机密消息，他知道我不喜欢他的雇主希普。所以谈话很难展开，最后，我很高兴跟他告别，来到楼上找阿格尼斯。
I found her in her sitting-room, and she looked up at me with such a warm welcome in her smile that I was very moved.
我在客厅里发现了她，她抬眼看我，热情地朝着我微笑，以示欢迎，我颇为感动。

名著解析：

狄更斯(1812－1870)是英国十九世纪批判现实主义文学的杰出代表。他出生在朴次茅斯的波特西地区，童年时期经受的巨大不幸和凌辱为他以后的创作奠定了基础——在作品中表现对不幸儿童的同情和坚决摆脱贫困的决心。由于家境贫困，他主要靠自学和深入生活获得广博的知识和文学素养，并先后在律师事务所打过杂，做过缮写员，担任过报社的采访记者。
