Charles Dickens is probably the best-known and, to many people, the greatest English novelist of the 19th century. A moralist, satirist, and social reformer, Dickens crafted complex plots and striking characters that capture the panorama of English society.
查尔斯·狄更斯或许是 19世纪英国最有名的小说家，对许多人来说，也是最伟大的小说家。作为一名道德家、讽刺作家和社会改革家，狄更斯精心设计的复杂故事情节和鲜活的人物角色，精准地描绘了整个英国社会的风貌。
Dickens was born in Portsmouth, on England's southern coast. His father was a clerk in the British Navy pay office--a respectable position, but with little social status. His paternal grandparents, a steward and a housekeeper, possessed even less status, having been servants, and Dickens later concealed their background. Dickens's mother supposedly came from a more respectable family. Yet two years before Dickens's birth, his mother's father was caught stealing and fled to Europe, never to return. The family's increasing poverty forced Dickens out of school at age 12 to work in Warren's Blacking Warehouse, a shoe-polish factory, where the other working boys mocked him as “ the young gentleman.” His father was then imprisoned for debt. The humiliations of his father's imprisonment and his labor in the blacking factory formed Dickens's greatest wound and became his deepest secret. He could not confide them even to his wife, although they provide the unacknowledged foundation of his fiction.
狄更斯出生于英国南海岸的朴茨茅斯市。他的父亲是英国海军出纳室的一名职员——工作虽体面，但鲜有社会地位。他的祖父母，一个是男管家，一个是女管家，都是仆人，更加没有地位；狄更斯后来一直隐瞒他们的身份背景。狄更斯的母亲据说来自一个较为体面的家庭。但就在狄更斯出生的前两年，他的外祖父因偷盗被抓而逃往欧洲大陆，从此再没回来。日渐贫困的家境迫使狄更斯在 12岁就辍学到华伦黑鞋油工厂做工，这家鞋油厂里的其他劳工男孩嘲笑他是“小绅士”。之后他父亲因欠债入狱。父亲入狱和他在黑鞋油厂当劳工所带来的耻辱成为狄更斯最大的创伤，也成为他最深的秘密。他甚至对自己的妻子也讳莫如深，尽管这些经历为他的小说奠定了潜在性基础。
已经确定位置的【E】段首句提及重要时间线索 Soon after his father's release from prison，可推知上文必定涉及了“他父亲入狱”的内容。【F】段第七句 His father was then imprisoned for debt“他父亲因债入狱”在内容上与【E】段首句衔接顺畅；另外，首段【D】的位置已经给定，该段总述狄更斯的文学地位，总起全文，【F】段介绍狄更斯的家庭背景和少年经历，符合传记的一般写作顺序。
Soon after his father's release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices. He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter's eye for transcribing the life around him, especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.
他父亲出狱后不久，狄更斯找到了一份稍微好点的工作——在律师事务所当跑腿。他自学速记，后来找到一份更好的工作——成为一名法庭速记员和议会记者。在此期间，颇具记者慧眼的狄更斯将他周围的生活，尤其是任何滑稽有趣或古怪奇特的景象记录下来，以此创作出一些短篇随笔并投稿给那些不太知名的杂志。
已经确定位置的【A】段首句提及 The first published sketch，推知上文必定涉及狄更斯开始写随笔并向杂志社投稿的过程。【E】段指出，狄更斯当议会记者期间记录周围生活中的奇闻趣事，写成随笔后开始向不知名的杂志投稿（submitted short sketches to obscure magazines），与【A】段形成“写稿投稿——发表”的叙述顺序，衔接顺畅。
The first published sketch, “ A Dinner at Poplar Walk” brought tears to Dickens'seyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine. From then on his sketches, which appeared under the pen name “ Boz” in The Evening Chronicle, earned him a modest reputation.
首次出版的一篇随笔是《白杨庄晚宴》，当他在《每月杂志》的刊文里发现这篇随笔被登载时，狄更斯热泪盈眶。自那之后，他的那些以“博兹”为笔名发表在《记事晚报》上的随笔，为他赢得了一定的声誉。
由已经确定位置的【C】段首句 Soon after Sketchesby Boz appeared 推知上文必定涉及该书的创作过程。【A】段指出，狄更斯开始以笔名Boz“博兹”大规模创作并发表随笔，由关键词sketches/Boz可知，【C】段中 Sketchesby Boz即是狄更斯所创作的大量随笔的集结汇总，与【A】段所述内容相互衔接。
Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared, a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments, as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the then-famous artist Robert Seymour, who had originated the idea for the story. With characteristic confidence, Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour's pictures illustrate his own story instead, After the first installment, Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing Dickens felt was not faithful enough to his prose. Seymour made the change, went into his backyard, and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide. Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist. The comic novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, appeared serially in 1836 and 1837 and was first published in book form in 1837
《博兹札记》一面世，很快就有一家出版社和狄更斯接触，想让他以每月连载的方式撰写一个故事，作为当时著名艺术家罗伯特·西摩系列木版画的背景故事，西摩是该故事构想的原创者。带着特有的自信，狄更斯坚决要求并得以“成功”实现自己的要求——西摩的木版画反而是为他自己（狄更斯）的故事配图。第一期出版后，狄更斯给西摩写信，要求他更正一幅狄更斯认为不够忠实自己文章内容的图画。西摩做了修改，随即来到自家后院，以自杀来表达自己的不满。狄更斯和他的出版商不过是找了位新艺术家来代替，就坚定地继续工作了。这部喜剧小说《匹克威克俱乐部遗稿》（即《匹克威克外传》）于1836年至1837年连续刊载，1837年首次以图书形式出版。
已经给定位置的【B】段首句指出“《匹克威克外传》大获成功，在全国掀起热潮”，推知上文必定介绍该小说的创作或出版过程。【C】段先介绍狄更斯与画家西摩的合作经历，之后点明两人合作的故事就是后来的《匹克威克外传》，段末补充指出该故事先以月刊连载，后汇编成书。因此本段主要介绍该部小说的创作和出版过程，与【B】段所述“该部小说出版后读者反响强烈，大获成功”前后逻辑合理，衔接顺畅。
The runaway success of The Pickwick Papers, as it is generally known today, secured Dickens's fame. There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars, and the plump, spectacled hero, Samuel Pickwick, became a national figure.
如今广为人知的《匹克威克外传》，其获得的巨大成功确立了狄更斯的声誉。匹克威克大衣、匹克威克雪茄相继问世，而那个胖乎乎的、戴着眼镜的男主人公，寒缪尔·匹克威克，已成为一个全国性的人物。
After Pickwick, Dickens plunged into a bleaker world. In Oliver Twist, he traces an orphan's progress from the workhouse to the criminal slums of London. Nicholas Nickleby, his next novel, combines the darkness of Oliver Twist with the sunlight of Pickwick. The popularity of these novels consolidated Dickens as a nationally and internationally celebrated man of letters.
《匹克威克外传》之后，狄更斯开始沉浸到一个较为阴郁的世界。在《雾都孤儿》中，他追踪了一个孤儿从济贫院到伦敦犯罪（高发地）贫民窟的成长历程。接着，他的另一部小说《尼古拉斯·尼克贝》兼有《雾都孤儿》的阴暗和《匹克威克》的光明。这些小说的流行奠定了狄更斯作为一位全国乃至全世界著名作家的地位。
已经确定位置的【B】指出，狄更斯的第一部小说大获成功，结合人物传记的写作顺序，后文很可能介绍他后续发表的作品及影响等。【G】首句时间线索词After Pickwick 表明本段按时间顺序继续说明狄更斯的后续创作，与上文【B】衔接顺畅；另外，【G】段末句在列举狄更斯几部重要小说之后，再次肯定评价狄更斯的崇高文学地位，与首段“总评狄更斯的文学成就”相照应，全文整体形成“总——分——总”的结构，逻辑合理。
