Chapter 20: Realism in Literature
第20章：文学中的现实主义
Madame Bovary is considered one of the greatest examples of literary realism. Flaubert's writing style is detailed and precise, describing ordinary life with careful attention to the small details that make it real.
《包法利夫人》被认为是文学现实主义最伟大的例子之一。福楼拜的写作风格详细而精确，仔细关注使真实生活变得真实的细节。
Unlike romantic novels that idealize life and love, Madame Bovary shows life as it actually is—sometimes boring, sometimes painful, and rarely perfect. The characters are flawed human beings who make mistakes and suffer the consequences.
与理想化生活和爱情的浪漫小说不同，《包法利夫人》展示了生活的实际情况——有时无聊，有时痛苦，很少完美。角色是有缺陷的人类，会犯错并承担后果。
The novel's influence on literature was enormous. It changed how writers approached storytelling and inspired a generation of authors to write about ordinary people and everyday life instead of heroes and adventures.
小说对文学的影响是巨大的。它改变了作家处理讲故事的方式，激励了一代作者写关于普通人和日常生活，而不是英雄和冒险。
Madame Bovary remains relevant today because it explores universal human desires and disappointments. Emma's search for meaning and happiness is something that readers from any time and place can understand and relate to.
《包法利夫人》今天仍然相关，因为它探索了普遍的人类欲望和失望。艾玛对意义和幸福的寻找是任何时间和地点的读者都能理解和产生共鸣的事情。
