急！求great expectations的英文故事梗概

范文：It happened in 19th century England. When PIP was a 15-year-old child, his parents died and lived with his sister and brother-in-law. 

Before Christmas, PIP went to the cemetery to mourn his parents and met jailbreak McGovern. PIP brought him a cake to satisfy his hunger, which moved McGovern very much, but in the end he was taken away by the police.

事发生在19世纪的英国。在皮普还是个15岁的孩子时，父母双亡，和姐姐、姐夫生活在一起。过节前，皮普到墓地去悼念父母，遇到了越狱犯麦格维奇。皮普为他拿来了蛋糕充饥，令麦格维奇非常感动，但最后他还是被警察带走了。

Great Expectations is set in England in the early 1800s.Dickens uses Pip, the main character, to tell the story. Pip is not only a character, he also tells the story of Great Expectations. Pip lives with his older sister and her husband Joe. Pip’s sister seldom has a kind word to say, but Joe is a kind and simple man, who would rather die than see any harm come to Pip.

Pip, who is seven years old when the story begins, is in a misty field of tombs when a man appears and frightens him. Mist is a symbol of danger and uncertainty in Great Expectations. Classic novels often have symbols which add interest, tension or deeper meaning to the text. Readers may not be able to see the danger, so they need a symbol like the mist to make it clearer to them.

There is a twist in the plot when a very generous stranger gives Pip a lot of money. Pip is about 18 years old when this happens, and the fortune sets him free from the financial worries. Pip makes the abrupt decision to move from Kent, which is a constant remainder of his shabby beginnings, to the bright lights of London.

Excited by his move to London, Pip can hardly wait to begin his new life. Money and education have changed him, and before long he develops the shortcomings of being shallow and having prejudice, even against his old companions. Pip dislikes it when Joe comes to visit him in London. He has rigid ideas of what it means to be civil and to be a gentleman, and is embarrassed by Joe he does not fit these.

Pip is bent on becoming a gentleman and winning Estella’s love. Estella is a beautiful girl, and for Pip, she is a symbol of education and money. What it really means to be a gentleman is an important theme in Great Expectations. Is an educated person with a lot of money a gentleman? Or is a gentleman somebody who is kind and good to his friends?

By the end of the novel, Pip has changed a lot. He learns that wealth does not buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education. This change in Pip is called character development and is an important part of any novel.

事发生在19世纪的英国。在皮普还是个15岁的孩子时，父母双亡，和姐姐、姐夫生活在一起。圣诞节前，皮普到墓地去悼念父母，遇到了越狱犯麦格维奇。皮普为他拿来了蛋糕充饥，令麦格维奇非常感动，但最后他还是被警察带走了。
圣诞过后，皮普被邀请到村里最富有的哈维汉姆小姐家做客。这个老妇人新婚当天丈夫没有出现，从此便再也没有脱下婚纱，多年来一直生活在回忆里。尽管她拥有财富，却从没有得到过幸福，因此一直活在愤恨中，性格怪癖。当皮普怀着忐忑不安的心情踏入这所老房子时，遇到了哈维汉姆小姐收养的女孩埃斯特拉，从此便一发不可收拾地爱上了她。但埃斯特拉是个傲慢又刻薄的女孩，根本不把皮普放在眼里。这令皮普很伤心，他暗自下决心要成为一名绅士好让埃斯特拉不再歧视自己。
机会终于来了。尽管皮普的姐夫只是一个铁匠，没有钱送他上学，但在几年后，突然有不愿意透露姓名的人提出资助皮普到伦敦去过上层社会的生活。皮普满心欢喜地来到伦敦，学习如何社交、如何跳舞、如何成为一名真正的绅士。此时的皮普已明显的感觉到自己无法再和做铁匠的姐夫顺畅沟通了，尽管是姐夫把他养大，感情也非常好。
埃斯特拉此时已长成亭亭玉立的少女从国外学习归来。皮普找到她，却发现她不断穿梭于许多男人之间并选择了其中一个成为她的丈夫。皮普痛苦得无法自拔。而此时在背后资助皮普的人终于出现了，他就是多年前被皮普搭救过的麦格维奇。他再次越狱后赚下了很多钱，他希望以资助皮普的方式感激他。但这次麦格维奇的出现没有以往那样幸运了，他被警察抓到死在了监狱里。皮普的财产也被没收，顿时成了穷光蛋。皮普无法接受这样残酷的现实，大病一场。
康复后的皮普认真审视自己，决定从头做起。几年后皮普凭借自己的努力，成为了真正拥有财富的绅士。他再次回到姐夫家中，和家人共度这一年的圣诞节。皮普在老房子里遇到了生活并不幸福的埃斯特拉，得知她从一开始就深爱着自己，但她是被哈维汉姆小姐收养用作报复男人的，她不愿皮普受到伤害才选择和别人结婚。隐藏在心中多年的情感终于爆发，这对有情人最终走到了一起。
