Features: The name of this series is quite long: Famous Works with English-Chinese Parallel Translation. It should be even longer to be more accurate, such as "Famous Works with English-Chinese Parallel Translation and Translation Teaching Reader," because this is closer to the entire purpose of compiling this series. Parallel reading materials should not be too long; fortunately, the length is around 70,000 to 90,000 words. The genres should be diverse, at least including drama, long, and short. The difficulty of English should be balanced, covering as many periods as possible, and the writing styles should be varied. The translations should be excellent, truly making it suitable as a translation teaching reader. With so many conditions combined, selecting the famous works has been quite challenging. Thanks to the rich accumulation of foreign literature translations published by People's Literature Publishing House over the past fifty years, although a lot of effort was spent, the results are quite satisfying. Take a look at the list of works selected for this series: Plays include Hamlet, Caesar and Cleopatra, and The Ideal Husband; Long novels include Vanity Fair and Jane Eyre; Middle novels include Ethan Frome, The Heart of Darkness, and The Great Gatsby; Short novels include The Short Stories of Mark Twain and The Short Stories of O. Henry. This series of Famous Works with English-Chinese Parallel Translation and Translation Teaching Reader, you read it, you translate it, you compare the translations, and you will find something.
