书籍简介

《政治与英语》被广泛认为是奥威尔关于风格的最重要的文章。 对奥威尔来说，风格从来不是一个简单的美学问题; 它总是与政治和真相密不可分。 “所有问题都是政治问题，而政治本身就是一堆谎言、逃避、愚蠢、仇恨和精神分裂。 当大环境不好的时候，语言就会受到影响。 “语言是一个政治问题，对于语言的草率使用和陈词滥调会让当权者更容易故意使用误导性的语言来掩盖不愉快的政治事实。” 他认为，糟糕的英语是压制意识形态的工具，《政治与英语》是在第二次世界大战结束后写成的，这并非偶然。  

'Politics and the English Language' is widely considered Orwell's most important essay on style. Style, for Orwell, was never simply a question of aesthetics; it was always inextricably linked to politics and to truth.'All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.'Language is a political issue, and slovenly use of language and cliches make it easier for those in power to deliberately use misleading language to hide unpleasant political facts. Bad English, he believed, was a vehicle for oppressive ideology, and it is no accident that 'Politics and the English Language' was written after the close of World War II..
