喬治·奧威爾,英國(guó)著名小說(shuō)家、記者和社會(huì)評(píng)論家。他的代表作《動(dòng)物莊園》和《1984》是反極權(quán)主義的經(jīng)典名著。他以敏銳的洞察力和犀利的文筆審視、記錄下他所生活的那個(gè)時(shí)代,并作出許多超越時(shí)代的預(yù)言,被稱為 “一代人的冷峻良知”。
The whole farm was deeply divided on the subject of the windmill. Snowball did not deny that to build it would be a difficult business. Stone would have to be quarried and built up into walls, then the sails would have to be made and after that there would be need for dynamos and cables. (How these were to be procured Snowball did not say.) But he maintained that it could all be done in a year. And thereafter, he declared, so much labour would be saved that the animals would only need to work three days a week. Napoleon, on the other hand, argued that the great need of the moment was to increase food production,and that if they wasted time on the windmill they would all starve to death. The animals formed themselves into two factions under the slogans, ‘Vote for Snowball and the three day week’ and‘Vote for Napoleon and the full manger.’ Benjamin was the only animal who did not side with either faction. He refused to believe either that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would save work. Windmill or no windmill,he said, life would go on as it had always gone on-that is, badly.
