    动物庄园(英汉双语版)

    《动物庄园》是英国著名作家乔治·奥威尔的又一部传世名著,与《1984》齐名。它讲述了发生在英格兰一个庄园里的一次由猪领导的动物革命。在这个庄园里,动物们因无法忍受庄园主人的剥削和压榨,奋起反抗,赶走了庄园主人,并将庄园更名为“动物庄园”。然而,动物自治的情况不容乐观,动物们起初期望的和谐、共享、自由、平等并没有真正实现,反而因为领导革命的猪们各自权利和利益之间的冲突,催生并加剧了内部矛盾,最后导致了流血冲突,领导革命的猪们开始发生分裂。接着,一头猪被宣布为叛徒,成为革命的敌人,遭到驱逐和各种栽赃。而另一头猪凭借既得权势和狗的支持,获取并加大了领导权。当权力集中,这头猪对动物们的统治也越来越苛刻,甚至残忍地杀害其他抗议的猪,最终成为了和当初的庄园主人一样的残酷的剥削者。“动物庄园”的名字也终被废弃。
