Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde
Short Summary
At the book's opening,two men,Mr.Utterson and his cousin Mr.Richard Enfield,are leisurely walking through London.Initially silent,the men pass a mysterious basement cellar door,and Mr.Enfield launches into a story about a strange occurrence related to the door.Late one night,while on his way home,Enfield chanced upon a deformed,short man who trampled a girl in the street on her way to fetch a doctor.The girl's family and Mr.Enfield catch the mysterious man and instead of getting the police,decide to force him to give the girl's family money.Agreeable to this compromise,the mysterious man disappears into the cellar door and returns with a check bearing not his own name,but that of the respectable Dr.Jekyll.Although Enfield assumed the check would be a forgery,it proves to be legitimate.
After hearing the story,Utterson returns to his home where he removes his friend and client Dr.Henry Jekyll's mysterious will,which Jekyll recently filed.The will states that in case of Dr.Jekyll's death,his substantial estate will pass to Mr.Edward Hyde,whom Utterson has never met and whom he assumes is the mysterious man in Enfield's story.Even stranger,the will states that in case of Jekyll's disappearance for more than three months,Hyde will assume Jekyll's estate without delay.Utterson also realizes that the mysterious door is connected,in an L shaped way,to Jekyll's home.Utterson concludes that Hyde is blackmailing Jekyll and resolves to seek the man out to understand why.After tracking the man down,Hyde is initially civil but turns angry when Utterson extends the conversation,probing into his relationship with Dr.Jekyll.
One year later,Edward Hyde brutally murders Sir Danvers Carew by beating him to death with a cane.With help from Utterson,the police find Hyde's apartment ransacked and all papers burned.After leaving,Utterson proceeds to Jekyll's and confronts him for harboring a murder.Jekyll claims that he is done with Hyde forever and that their relationship is terminated.Jekyll does,however,have a farewell note from Hyde.Utterson examines the note and his clerk,Mr.Guest,later discovers that the handwriting,although slightly altered,matches a dinner invitation written by Dr.Jekyll.Angrily,Utterson assumes that Jekyll has forged a letter for a murderer.
More time passes,and we learn that although Hyde has not been located,Dr.Jekyll has become increasingly social,returning to his pre-Hyde days of friendly meetings and intellectual gatherings.One day,Utterson attends a dinner party at Jekyll's home and sees Dr.Lanyon there.Shortly thereafter,Jekyll secludes himself and Dr.Lanyon falls severely ill due to "shock" and dies.After his death,Dr.Lanyon leaves Utterson a letter instructing him only to read it after Dr.Jekyll's death or disappearance.Some time after these mysterious events,Enfield and Utterson again walk by the mysterious door and get a rare glimpse at Dr.Jekyll,who is sitting by a window in the apartment.The men have a brief conversation,but Jekyll abruptly shuts the window as he begins to suffer what appears to be a seizure.Enfield and Utterson are struck by the disturbing appearance of Jekyll's face as he withdraws from view.
About a week later,Richard Poole,Jekyll's faithful butler,approaches Utterson.Poole reports that Jekyll has locked himself in his cabinet and strange sounds,including crying and pacing are all that have been emanating from the room.The only communication that Poole has received from Jekyll consists of letters desperately asking for a specific type of medicine.Utterson agrees to assist and follows Poole to Jekyll's house.The two men break down the door to the room where Jekyll has hidden himself.They find Hyde's dead body and assume he committed suicide immediately before they entered the room.They ransack the area looking for Jekyll's body or evidence of his death,but are unsuccessful.In the laboratory,the men discover a large envelope addressed to Mr.Utterson.Inside,Jekyll urges Utterson to read the package from Lanyon and if he wishes to know more,read the further description Jekyll provides within the envelope.
Utterson reads Lanyon's narrative.The letter begins with a description of a strange letter Lanyon received from Henry Jekyll,the night after a dinner party at Jekyll's residence.The letter urges Lanyon to go to Jekyll's house and fetch a certain drawer with specific contents from the laboratory.Afterwards,a messenger will come to Lanyon's house in Jekyll's stead to recover these items,which include powder,a phial,and a paper book.Lanyon follows the instructions thinking that Jekyll has lost his mind.Mr.Hyde appears at the specified time,looking particularly strange,dressed in clothes far too large for him.Lanyon gives Hyde the ingredients.Hyde then asks Lanyon whether or not he would like to see the end result of his errand.Lanyon is curious and agrees.Hyde mixes the ingredients into a potion,drinks it,and transforms into Dr.Jekyll as an astounded Lanyon observes.Lanyon is deeply affected by this shock and the pure evilness of Jekyll,brings on his subsequent illness and death.
After reading Dr.Lanyon's account,Utterson reads Jekyll's own description of his failed experiment.Jekyll believed that the soul is made up of two separate distinctions:good and evil.These two separate beings live in continuous and inherent conflict with each other.Slowly,Jekyll begins an experiment where he attempts to completely differentiate these two aspects of human nature.Jekyll experiments extensively and then makes two potions.One transforms him into Edward Hyde,and the second transforms him back into Henry Jekyll.This amazingly successful experiment begins Jekyll's extensive exploration of his other self,a man entirely comfortably in morally corrupt behavior,whom he eventually names Edward Hyde.
For some months,this behavior continues until Jekyll,"had gone to bed Henry Jekyll,[and] had awakened Edward Hyde." Jekyll was alarmed that he transformed into Edward Hyde without the assistance of the potion,and became concerned that the character of Hyde might irrevocably take over.Concerned that he had overstepped his bounds,Jekyll chose to give up the freedom of Hyde and for two months maintained the identity of Dr.Jekyll.Unfortunately,he was tortured with Hyde's longing to freely take part in evil doings,and he once again took the potion.During this transformation,Hyde brutally murdered Carew.Because of the manhunt for Hyde,Jekyll swore off ever again making the transformation and set out to try to remedy the evil inside of him.
Unfortunately,at this point Jekyll had given too much power to his evil side.Hyde was an irrevocable part of Jekyll's character,and the many transformations and evil behaviors only strengthened Hyde's power.One night,while contemplating Hyde's deeds,Jekyll spontaneously transformed into Edward Hyde.Because his dual identity was a secret to all members in his house,he realized he could not walk through his house to the laboratory to retrieve the potion's ingredients.Therefore,he sent the urgent letter to Dr.Lanyon.After successfully turning back into Dr.Jekyll,he went home once again but every time he fell asleep,he reverted to Mr.Hyde.Soon,his potions failed to work,even at double strength,and he ran out of the specific medicine needed.While living in the cabinet apartment and not allowing any of his servants to see him,Hyde launches a desperate but unsuccessful search across London for the potion ingredients.When Poole and Utterson finally break into the room,Hyde kills himself,thus finally releasing both Jekyll and Hyde.

The story of Dr Jekyll is quite famous around the world,however,Dr Jekyll himself is a typical tragic person.He is a kind and wise doctor in front of the public,but might not wise enough to adjust himself.As an old saying goes:every coin has two sides.Dr Jekyll also has his own negative side,which finally become Mr.Hide.Mr.Hide is always hunger for violence,and all the bad things he did tell us that too.People may treat him as a criminal,but to me,he is just unable to find a way to abreact.
化身博士的故事世界闻名,但是无论如何,Jekyll博士本身是个典型的悲剧人物.在公众面前他让人感觉仁慈而又有智慧,不过还是没能聪明到可以进行自我调适的地步.俗话说：事物都是两面的.Jekyll博士也有着自己的阴暗面,最终变成了Hide先生.Hide先生渴望暴力,而他的所作所为也证明了这一点.可能大家会认为他是个罪犯,但是在我看来,他只是找不到合适的手段来发泄罢了.
It really doesn’t matter if you are a man lives in 19th century or comes from stone age,we are all people,we all have feelings,we all have our own Mr.or Ms Hide,the only question is,can you find a way to maintain your mental health?Maybe we can’t afford to have our own psychological consultant,but we CAN play games to relax ourselves,or realize any wildest dream in this virtual world.Imaging this,once our Dr Jekyll has some evil minds,he can turn to his computer for help.Maybe he can play some action games to satisfy his desire for “passion”,just like people today.Since the video game is always about the adventures of some superheroes,the game will guide him to the daydreaming of everything good but a criminal.As soon as he feels good again,then he will never try to become Mr.Hide in the reality.Maybe you will consider this as a naïve idea,but computer game does reduce the crime rate in America.
无论你来自19世纪还是石器时代,这都不重要.我们都是人,我们都有感情,我们都有自己的阴暗面.唯一的问题是：你有办法保持自己的心理健康吗?可能我们不一定有钱去请心理医生,但是我们肯定可以玩游戏来放松自己,或者在虚拟世界中实现自己任何最狂野的梦想.想象一下,只要Jekyll博士有了什么邪恶的想法,他就会通过电脑来寻求帮助.可能他会玩一些动作游戏来释放自己的“激情”,就像现在的人一样.现在的游戏内容总是一些超级英雄的历险传奇,这有助于引导他幻想自己去干好事,而不是当罪犯.一旦他感觉良好,他就不会想在现实中变成Hide先生了.可能你会觉得这个主意很傻很天真,但是电脑游戏确实降低了美国的犯罪率.

Right and Wrong.Joy and Despair.Good and Evil.These are the themes Robert Louis Stevenson addresses in his work,'The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde.'

THE STRANGE CASE OF DR.JEKYLL AND MR.HYDE was an instant sensation and had a tremendous impact on later generations; it would not be an exaggeration to say that there have been hundreds of stage and film productions drawn either directly or indirectly from the original Robert Louis Stevenson story.Readers who come to the story from these adaptations,however,will very likely be surprised:few of them do more than borrow Stevenson's central concept.
Unlike the numerous stage and film adaptations,Dr.Jekyll is not a young or remarkably handsome man,nor the book does not contain any of the romantic subplots to which its adaptations are prone.At approximately one hundred pages,the story is very direct and extremely well suited to Stevenson's very precise style,which is very clean yet extremely evocative and very readable.
That said,modern readers are unlikely to be shocked by the book.For one thing,the story is too well known; for another,it contains very little of the graphic horror typical of current horror stories.But more than anything else,DR.JEKYLL is very distinctly a novel that draws from the Victorian era,and much of its impact was due to that society's remarkable hypocrisy; it was a world in which appearances were everything and a double life "acceptable" as long as you were not caught at it.
The same concept arises in two other novels from the same era,Bram Stoker's DRACULA and Oscar Wilde's THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY,albeit in distinctly different forms.But whereas the Stoker and Wilde novels transcend their era,Stevenson's tale does not,and with the passing of Victorian attitudes the work has lost a great deal of its power to shock.Even so,Stevenson does touch a nerve with his chemically-induced transformation; then as now,drug abuse was a scourge,and in addition to this the work is somewhat similar to Mary Shelly's FRANKENSTEIN in the sense that it anticipates a host of ethical concerns that have become more and more pressing with the passage of time.
Although it has not held up as well as the other titles named,DR.JEKYLL AND MR.HYDE is nonetheless unavoidable for any one who has an interest in gothic or horror literature because it had--and continues to have--such a tremendous influence on later works.Stevenson's prose is elegant,it is "an easy read," and I think most contemporary readers will enjoy it if they make the effort to see it within the context of its era.

故事是这样的
以前在各大学校里都流传着这么一个恐怖故事
说是A校有不干净的东西 每当十五的时候 学校门口的鲁迅像的眼睛就会动
所有教学楼都会停电
楼梯会从原来的13阶变成14阶
实验室的水龙头放出来的水会变成红色
还有1楼尽头的那个厕所只要有人进去了就再也出不来了
于是 一群不信邪的孩子们约好15那天去探险
晚上12点 他们准时来到了那所学校的门口
鲁迅像的眼睛望着左边 他们记下了 生怕出来的时候记不得有没有动过
他们来到了教室 打开开关 咦 不是亮着的么?
“骗人.”一个男孩发出抱怨
“再看看吧.”
来到了楼梯口 “1 2 3...13没错阿 是13阶阿?”
孩子们有点怀疑传说的真实性了
于是他们又来到了实验室 水龙头打开了 白花花的水流了出来
“真没劲阿 我们白来了!”
刚开始的刺激感都消去了一半.
最后 他们来到了那个厕所
女孩子虽然口上说不相信 可是还是不敢进去
于是让刚刚很拽地说不怕的小C进去
看了表 1点整
2分钟后 男生出来了
“切 都是骗人的”
孩子们不欢而散.
出门时 一个看门人发现了他们 喝斥他们怎么可以那么晚还在学校逗留.孩子们撒腿就跑
小B特地注意了一下门口的石像 没错 眼睛还是朝左看得
“骗人的”他嘀咕了一声
“喂 小B么?小C昨天晚上和你们一起出去玩 怎么还没回来?”第二天早上 小C的妈妈打电话过来询问.
小C也没有去学校上课
孩子们隐约感到不对了
于是 他们将晚上的探险之事告诉了老师和家长
大家在大人的陪同下回到了那个学校.
“什么?我们的鲁迅像的眼睛一直是朝右看的阿.”校长听了孩子们的叙述 不可思议的说.
“可是我们昨天来的时候是朝左看的阿”
出门一看 果然 是朝右看得...
“可是昨天的确有电阿”
“昨天我们这里全区停电...你们怎么开得灯?”
“还有楼梯!”孩子们迅速跑到楼梯口
“1 2 3...12?”
“我们的楼梯一直是12阶的.”
“不可能!”
“还有实验室”一个孩子提醒道
“对 实验室”
一行人来到实验室 就在昨天他们开过的那个水龙头下 有一摊暗红色的痕迹.
“是血迹.”
“那...小C昨天还去过那个厕所...”大家都感到了一阵莫名的恐惧
“走 我们去看看”校长也意识到了事情的严重性
...
推开门...
小C的尸体赫然出现在大家的眼前
因为惊恐而睁大的双眼
被割断的喉管血淋淋的
内脏散落在已经干掉的水池里...
“阿...”小C的妈妈当场昏了过去
几个老师马上冲出去呕吐...
小B也被吓得目瞪口呆
在他晕过去的前一秒钟
他瞥见小C的手表
指针停在了1点...
就是小C进去的那个时候...
顺便说一下 他们去探险的那天晚上 并没有门卫...
