英语名篇背诵：David Copperfield

5． David Copperfield （Chapter 11）

[导读]本段选自狄更斯（Charles Dickens）的《大卫?科菲坡尔》。作者极尽细节描写之能事，将David眼中第一次见到描述得形象鲜明，跃然纸上。尤其是脸部的描写细致生动，让人一见难忘。

I went in, and found there a stoutish, middle-aged person, in a brown surtout and black tights and shoes, with no more hair upon his head which was a large one, and very shining than there is upon an egg, and with a very extensive face, which he turned full upon me. His clothes were shabby, but he had an imposing shirt-collar on. He carried a jaunty sort of stick, with a large pair of rusty tassels to it; and a quizzing-glass hung outside his coat ? for ornament, I afterwards found, as he very seldom looked through it, and couldn‘t see anything when he did.
