遠大前程：Great expectations（英文版）

是英國19世紀著名作家查爾斯·狄更斯的后期作品，也是他思想上最為成熟的作品之一，與他所寫的其他涉及孤兒題材的小說一樣，書中以充滿同情和細致入微的筆觸塑造了喬、匹普和畢蒂等樸實善良的小人物，但不同的是，作家那時對社會和人生有了更深刻的體驗，以往貫穿于作品中的幽默譏諷風格逐漸淡化，在這部小說里呈現出狄更斯更趨成熟的人生觀。

你往何處去（英文版）

長篇歷史小說《你往何處去》是波蘭作家顯克威支的代表作，出版發行于1896年，寫的是公元一世紀中葉古羅馬在尼祿皇帝的統治之下走向衰落和早期基督教徒罹難的故事。作者因這部作品獲得1905年諾貝爾文學獎。作品名字來源于1893年顯克微支第二次重游羅馬時，看到古卡丕城門附近一座小教堂門楣上用拉丁文寫的“你往何處去”的題詞。這句題詞是早期基督教徒遭受迫害的史跡。傳說被追捕的基督使徒彼得匆匆逃離羅馬城，在路上問耶穌：“主啊，你往何處去?”耶穌回答說：“你既然遺棄了我的人民，我便要回羅馬去，讓他們再次把我釘在十字架上?！北说糜谑欠祷亓_馬城，不久便真的被釘上了十字架。早期基督教徒為信仰獻身的精神，深深觸動了作者的靈感，震撼了作者的心靈。他決定用這句題詞作為書名，再現尼祿統治下那個充滿血和淚的時代。作品被兩次改編成電影。1951年上映的《暴君屠城錄》，在1952年第24屆奧斯卡頒獎會中，獲得包括最佳電影等7項提名，值得一看。2001年《你往何處去》再次登上銀幕。
