《An Ideal Husband》读书笔记

王尔德的四幕剧，一波三折，好在结局完美。

印象最深的是一句拍马屁的话：有人问MRS CHeveley如何保持的这么年轻漂亮，她说：by making it a rule only to talk to perfectly charming people like yourself. 问话的人高兴的说 you butter me。 哈哈，赞这个，当有人夸好看的时候，美女们可以用这句来代替谢谢了。

她的另外一句我认为有哲理的话是：More women grown old nowadays through the faithfulness of their admires than through anything else.

正直的理想丈夫 Sir Robert Chiltern由于年轻人曾经为了金钱犯了错误，担心自己的太太知道后会因此不爱他，跟朋友Lord Goring发表了一通关于男人女人对于爱情的看法。认为 We have all feet of clay, women as well as men; but when we men love women, we love them knowing their weaknesses, their follies, their imperfection, love them all the more, it may be for that reason. It is not the perfect, but the imperfect, who have need of love. It is when we are wounded by our own hands, or by the hands of others, that love should come to cure us.

看过描述lord goring的那些特征后，再读他的部分，觉得蛮有意思的。虽然表面放荡不羁，但真诚为朋友。
