关于《小妇人》你不知道的10件事

备受期待的《小妇人》最新改编电影于12月25日在北美上映，该片聚集了西尔莎·罗南、艾玛·沃森、“甜茶”提莫西·查拉梅、梅丽尔·斯特里普等众多明星大腕，堪称“神仙阵容”。

距离《小妇人》原著出版已经过去了150年，但它还是打动了一代又一代读者，这本书的影响力可见一斑。也许你已经读过路易莎·梅·奥尔科特的《小妇人》，但下面这些事实你可能从来没有听说过。

1. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT DIDN'T WANT TO WRITE LITTLE WOMEN.

路易莎·梅·奥尔科特本来不想写《小妇人》

Louisa May Alcott was writing both literature and pulp fiction when Thomas Niles, the editor at Roberts Brothers Publishing, approached her about writing a book for girls. Alcott said she would try, but she wasn’t all that interested, later calling such books “moral pap for the young.”

罗伯茨兄弟出版社的编辑托马斯·奈尔斯找上路易莎·梅·奥尔科特时，她正在写文学作品和通俗小说。奈尔斯请路易莎为女孩们写一本书。路易莎说她会写写看，但不是很感兴趣，她后来将这种书称为“给年轻人读的道德教化书”。

When it became clear Alcott was stalling, Niles offered a publishing contract to her father, Bronson Alcott. Although Bronson was a well-known thinker who was friends with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, his work never achieved much acclaim. When it became clear that Bronson would have an opportunity to publish a new book if Louisa started her girls' story, she caved into the pressure.
