3．讀者應讀名著全文的原文
3．Readers should read the full texts of the classics in the original
既然本課程《文學與人生》是通過閱讀名著來研究人生，當然教材中要提供對過去各曆史時期，包括不同氣質、不同性格及不同社會地位的各種人物之生活敘述、成功經驗和失敗教訓。但教材不可能提供名著的全文，隻有“內容簡介、作者人生、作品賞析、作品中主要人物（經驗教訓）分析、問題討論”五部分以代之。每部分由教師詳細講解，但同學們（或讀者們）應讀名著全文的原文。
3．Since this Course Literature and Life is to study life by reading classics， it is natural to presentaccounts and experiences of successes and lessons of failures of life in the past—in the various periods ofhistory and in different walks of life by characters of different temperament and nature and social status.
However， in the textbook it is impossible to present full texts of classics but only“Introduction， The Writer’sLife， Appreciations of the Novel (Play)， Major Characters’ Lives (Experiences &； Lessons)， Questions forRevision &； Discussion”five parts are presented instead. Each part is to be fully explained by the teacher，but students (or readers) should read the full texts of the classics in the original.
