插图：When the light was fading, and Mrs Morel could see no more tosew, she rose and went to the door. Everywhere was the sound ofexcitement, the restlessness of the holiday, that at last infected her. Shewent out into the side garden. Women were coming home from thewakes, the children hugging a white lamb with green legs, or a woodenhorse. Occasionally a man lurched past, almost as full as he could carry.Sometimes a good husband came along with his family, peacefully. Butusually the women and children were alone. The stay-at-home mothersstood gossiping at the comers of the alley, as the twilight sank, foldingtheir arms under their white aprons.Mrs Morel was alone, but she was used to it. Her son and her littlegirl slept upstairs; so, it seemed, her home was there behind her, fixedand stable. But she felt wretched with the coming child. The worldseemed a dreary place, where nothing else would happen for her —— atleast until William grew up. But for herself, nothing but this drearyendurance—— till the children grew up. And the children！ She could notafford to have this third. She did not want it. The father was serving beerin a public-house, swilling himself drunk. She despised him, and was tiedto him. This coming child was too much for her. If it were not forWilliam and Annie, she was sick of it, the struggle with poverty andugliness and meanness.

作者简介

作者：（英国）劳伦斯（D.H.Lawrence） 合著者：贺广贤戴·赫·劳伦斯（D.H.Lawrence）,是英国二十世纪的天才作家，1885年生于诺丁汉郡一个煤矿工人的家庭。父亲是位目不识丁的煤矿工人，母亲是位出身名门、心高气傲的小学教师。父母婚姻的不幸铸就了家庭的不和，劳伦斯等5个子女就在贫困和家庭不和中长大成人。劳伦斯自小体弱多病，在一项奖学金的资助下在诺丁汉读完三年中学，后被迫在一家经营医疗用品的公司当职员，后又从事小学教员工作。1906年开始在诺丁汉大学学院就读，其时开始发表作品。1911年《白孔雀》问世，第二年五月《逾矩》出版，1913年《儿子与情人》杀青，这是一部自传性的伟大作品，一经问世就在文坛上引起了强烈反响，使他一举成名，从而奠定了他在英国文学史上的地位。1912年劳伦斯结识了诺丁汉大学法文教授的妻子弗丽达·威克利（Frieda Weekley），其时她已是三个孩子的母亲，长劳伦斯6岁，不久他们相爱并私奔德国，从此便开始了他们漫长而颠沛流离的生活。1922年到锡兰，随后到澳大利亚，并从那里辗转到达美国和墨西哥。身体虚弱，经济拮据，笔耕不辍，他先后发表了《恋爱中的女人》、《羽蛇》等10部长篇小说，7部中篇小说以及许多游记、评论和大量的散文诗歌等。在肺病已相当严重时，着手写《查泰莱夫人的情人》。在朋友的协助下，这部巨著于1928年秘密全文出版。但随即遭禁。后来其健康状况目益恶化，于1930年3月2日在法国南部病逝，终年44岁。
