在中国，恐怕没有人不知道猪八戒，正如英国没有人不知道小猪佩奇一样。其实文学作品中还有很多让人印象深刻的猪，它们的故事都非常精彩。 Animal Farm by George Orwell 《动物农庄》，乔治·奥威尔 Two pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, lead the animals' successful revolt, but then fall out. Napoleon triumphs and rules the farm. The other animals become mere labourers, while the pigs drink whisky and become more and more like human beings. 两头猪——雪球和拿破仑——领导动物们成功起义，但之后它俩闹翻了。拿破仑打败了雪球，成为农庄的统治者。其他动物只能做苦力，而猪却能喝威士忌，变得越来越像人。 fall out: 争吵，闹翻 "A Dissertation upon Roast Pig" by Charles Lamb 《论烤猪》，查尔斯·兰姆 The Romantic essayist imagines how the Chinese discovered the joys of roast pork with crackling. Once the Chinese ate their meat raw and kept pigs in their houses. Ho-ti leaves his house to be looked after by his lubberly son Bo-bo, who lets it burn to the ground. But there's something delicious in the ashes. Eureka! 浪漫主义散文家兰姆想象中国人在一次火灾事故中发现脆皮烤猪肉美味的故事。过去中国人生吃猪肉，把猪养在屋子里。养猪人何悌让傻呼呼的儿子宝宝看家，结果儿子把房子给点着了，但却在灰烬中发现了美味的烤猪。美食就这么被发现了！ |
