小时候读书，以为读不懂的文章才是“深刻”的。说到“深刻”，就不得不说起“鲁迅”。鲁迅，对中国人来说并不陌生。众人赋予他崇高的文学史地位，也让他成为一位备受争议的作家。总之，被誉为“中国现代文学之父”的鲁迅，是中国20世纪文学史上的一座高峰，也是我们今天怀着敬畏的心情来讨论的人物。

鲁迅 LǔXùn Lu Xun
出身 chūshēn class origin
哇，在看书呢！午休时间还要充电，有前途！
wā ，zài kàn shū ne ！wǔxiū shíjiān hái yào chōngdiàn ，yǒu qiántú ！
Hey, you're reading! Recharging your batteries during your lunch break--you'll go far!
哪里哪里，翻翻鲁迅的小说。
nǎli nǎli ，fānfān Lǔ Xùn de xiǎoshuō 。
Oh, don't be silly. I'm just flipping through a novel by Lu Hsun.
到底是中文系出身，不一样。鲁迅的作品有些还挺深奥难懂的。
dàodǐ shì Zhōngwén xì chūshēn ，bùyīyàng 。Lǔ Xùn de zuòpǐn yǒuxiē hái tǐng shēn ào nándǒng de 。
You have a background in Chinese-- that's different. Some of Lu Hsun's works are really mysterious and hard to understand.
是不大好懂。小时候阅历浅，读不出多少味道，现在再拿起来看看，理解就会深刻些了。
shì bùdà hǎo dǒng 。xiǎo shíhou yuèlì qiǎn ，dú bù chū duōshao wèidao ，xiànzài zài ná qǐlái kànkan ，lǐjiě jiù huì shēnkè xiē le 。
They're not really easy to understand. Reading them when you're young and inexperienced, you can't get a lot out of them. Picking them up now, you can get a deeper understanding.
