关于故事和说故事的人
比彻·斯托夫人（1811～1896)Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe美国女作家比彻·斯托夫人出生在一个牧师家庭，曾经做过教师。她在辛辛那提市住了18年，与南部蓄奴的村镇仅一河之隔，这使她有机会接触到一些逃亡的黑奴。奴隶们的悲惨遭遇引起了她深深的同情。她本人也去过南方，亲自了解了那里的情况。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》便是在这样的背景下写出来的。
此书于1851年首次在《民族时代》上连载，立即引起了强烈的反响，受到了读者的欢迎。仅第一年就在国内印刷了一百多版，销售了三十多万册，后来被译为二十多种文字在世界各地出版。
评论界认为此书在启发民众的反奴隶制情绪上起了重大作用，被视为美国南北战争的起因之一。林肯总统后来接见斯托夫人时戏谑地称她是“写了一本书，酿成了一场大战的小妇人”，这一句玩笑话充分反映了《汤姆叔叔的小屋》这部小说的巨大影响。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》对社会发展起到了积极作用，特别是对美国废奴运动和美国南北战争中以林肯为代表的正义一方获得胜利产生了巨大的作用。美国著名诗人哈里·朗费罗称这部作品是“文学史上最伟大的胜利”。《汤姆叔叔的小屋》故事讲述的是一个名叫汤姆的黑奴的悲惨遭遇。汤姆叔叔本是奴隶主谢尔比的黑奴，他忠厚能干，忠心耿耿地服侍主人很多年。然而由于谢尔比欠下了债务，于是就把汤姆和女黑奴伊丽莎的儿子小亨利卖给奴隶贩子抵债。伊丽莎偶然得知了消息，便带着儿子逃到了加拿大。而汤姆叔叔逆来顺受，最终被辗转卖到了南方的一个种植园，后来由于他不肯说出逃走的女奴卡西的下落，结果被主人毒打得遍体鳞伤。此时，他当年的小主人约翰尼·谢尔比已经长大成人，并长途跋涉找到了他，准备赎买他，但他却最终在小主人的怀抱里永远地闭上了眼睛。回到家乡后，小谢尔比以汤姆叔叔的名义解放了他名下的所有黑奴，并告诉他们，是汤姆叔叔使他们获得了自由。

如何提高英语阅读能力
第一步：避免不必要的阅读干扰，抓住关键词汇。
在阅读中，练习通过抓住句中关键词来把握整句的核心意义。如果你不认识某个单词，试着猜猜它的意思，不要马上就去查词典。培养根据上下文推测词义的能力非常关键，因为上下文是判断单词意思的重要途径。之后再通过查词典检查其释义。
第二步：切分长句。
本书的正文部分是由长句拆分成的短句构成，便于初学者阅读。当你发现自己开始不满足于不断分行的短句时，就说明你的阅读水平已经提高了，可以阅读更高级别的图书了。
第三步：经常性大量阅读。
想学好英语并没有捷径。只有那些进行大量阅读的学习者才能登上语言学习的顶峰。如果你经常大量地阅读英语作品，相信你的英语水平会有一个令人惊喜的提高。Uncle Tom's Cabin

Before You Read阅读准备第1章奴隶和奴隶主CHAPTER 1 Slaves and MastersIn the early 1800's, black people were not free in America.
They were slaves.
Rich, white masters owned them.
They used slaves to work on their farms.
Many masters were terrible to their slaves.
But some were kind.
Master Shelby was one of them.
Recently, his farm's business was poor.
He borrowed a lot of money from the bank.
The only way to pay his debt was to sell some slaves.
He hoped to sell his best slave, Tom, for a high price.
A slave trader named Mr. Haley came to buy Tom.
Mr. Haley was a terrible man.
He treated slaves like animals.
"Tom is the best slave I have," said Master Shelby.
"He is a good man who believes in God."
"God does not care about blacks.
They are not even men.
I just want to buy Tom because he is a hard worker," said Mr. Haley.
"But you want too much money for one slave.
I'll pay the money you need if you give me a slave child, too."
"Okay," agreed Master Shelby.
"I hate to do it, but I have to save our farm.
I'll give you little Henry.
He will grow up to be a good slave."
In the next room was a slave named Eliza.
She was a beautiful woman with light skin.
"Oh, my son, no!" she cried to herself.
She heard Master Shelby and Mr. Haley talking to each other through the wall.
She knew it would be terrible to lose her son.
This woman had been taken from her mother when she was a little girl.
Eliza's husband George ran away to Canada a few days ago. Blacks were free in Canada.
George wanted to work and save money.
Then he could buy Eliza and Henry from Master Shelby.
But that would never happen if the bad man took Henry down south.
Eliza picked up her son and hugged him.
"Don't worry," she said softly.
"If we trust in God, He will show us the way to freedom."
Behind Master Shelby's large house was a small log cabin.
This was a home for slaves.
It was tiny, but the cabin was very warm inside.
The smell of a freshly baked cake was in the air.
At the table sat Uncle Tom and Johnny.
Johnny was Master Shelby's son.
He loved Uncle Tom and his wife Aunt Chloe very much.
Now Johnny was teaching Uncle Tom how to read.
The cabin was suddenly filled with their many happy children.
They ran into the cabin when they smelled the cake.
Johnny was excited to eat the cake, too.
Uncle Tom felt very happy.
He held two of his children and sang a song.
While they were eating cake, Eliza came into Uncle Tom's cabin.
She had to tell him the terrible news.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Master Shelby sold my son!
We have to run away.
We will try to reach Canada.
Uncle Tom, Master Shelby sold you, too.
Come away with us!
God will show us the way!"
"No," said Uncle Tom.
"I can't run away with you.
If I do, Chloe and my children will be in danger.
It is better for me to go.
I will pray that God protects me."
Aunt Chloe and the children could not stop crying.
Eliza couldn't wait.
She picked up Henry and held him tightly.
Then she disappeared into the night.KEY WORDS

The next morning, Mrs. Shelby knew that Eliza had run away with Henry.
"Oh, dear," thought Mrs. Shelby, "Mr. Haley will kill Eliza if he catches her."
Mr. Haley was very angry when he heard Eliza had run away.
Mrs. Shelby decided to slow Mr. Haley down.
This would give Eliza a chance to escape.
She had an idea.
One of her slaves put a small stone under the saddle on Mr. Haley's horse.
This made the horse very upset.
Mr. Haley was unable to ride the horse for a long time.
Finally, he got on his horse and went to look for Eliza.
Mr. Haley knew that runaway slaves always went to the Ohio River.
If they could cross the river, people in Ohio would help them.
Eliza was also desperate to get across the river.
But when she reached the river, it was full of ice.
No boats could cross the icy river.
Eliza prayed to God to help her cross.
Mr. Haley saw Eliza and Henry.
"Stop!" he yelled. "That boy is mine!"
Eliza was trapped between Mr. Haley and the icy river.
So she jumped on a chunk of ice in the river.
Then she jumped onto another piece of ice!
She wasn't wearing any shoes, and her feet were bleeding.
But at last she crossed the river.
On the other side of the Ohio River, Eliza saw a man she knew.
He was one of the Shelby's friends, Mr. Simms.
"Mr. Simms, please, help me!" cried Eliza.
"I know a powerful man who hates slavery," he said.
"He will help you. His name is Senator Bird."
Mr. Simms pointed to a nice, big house across the street.
Eliza went to the house and knocked on the door.
Mrs. Bird let Eliza in.
Senator and Mrs. Bird heard Eliza's story.
They agreed to help her reach Canada.
Mr. Haley was on the other side of the river.
He was very angry.
He hired a slave catcher to chase Eliza.
Then he went back to the Shelby's farm to get Tom.
Back at the Shelby's farm, Uncle Tom sat in his cabin.
He was reading the Bible.
Aunt Chloe cried, "If only they weren't selling you down south.
Nobody comes back from there.
They kill slaves down there!"
"It's in God's hands now," said Uncle Tom.
"I'm thankful that they sold me and not the little ones."
He looked lovingly at his sleeping children.
There was a knock on the door of the cabin.
It was Mrs. Shelby.
Mrs. Shelby stood there crying.
"It's time to go, my dear man," she said.
"But I promise to find out where you are.
We will get the money and buy you back."
Suddenly, Mr. Haley burst into the room.
He said to Tom, "It's time for you to go!"
He put Uncle Tom in heavy chains.
Then they drove away in a wagon.
On the way out of town, Mr. Haley stopped at a store.
Tom waited outside in the wagon.
Young Johnny Shelby followed them on his horse.
He jumped in the wagon and hugged Tom.
"I hate slavery, Uncle Tom!" cried Johnny.
Uncle Tom hugged the boy and said, "Now Master Johnny, you be good to your mother.
God only gives you one mother."
"I will, Uncle Tom," promised Johnny.
He also promised to come down south and buy Uncle Tom.
Then they said goodbye.KEY WORDS
