On June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in the New York Times read, “Death of the Great Novelist... Will Be Remembered by the People...”
The headline was not overstating (夸大) the popularity (受欢迎) of Dickens. Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities.
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor (教授) who studies Dickens and his works. She says the novelist has remained popular. One important reason is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional effects (情感效果) among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply showed the social reality (现实) at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.
Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes. Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed.
This year marks the 155th year of Dickens’ death. It’s another chance to remember this great writer. Will you read or reread some of his famous works?

1870年6月9日，查尔斯·狄更斯在58岁时去世。第二天，《纽约时报》的头条写道：“伟大小说家之死……将被人们铭记……”
这个头条并没有夸大狄更斯的受欢迎程度。即使在今天，这位英国小说家仍然受到全世界读者的喜爱。狄更斯创造了一些令人难忘的角色。你一定听说过甚至读过他的一些小说：《雾都孤儿》《圣诞颂歌》和《双城记》。
娜塔莉·麦克奈特是一位研究狄更斯及其作品的文学教授。她说这位小说家一直很受欢迎。一个重要原因是狄更斯用心写作。他努力在读者中产生情感效果。在他的作品中，他特别关注英国社会底层的“小人物”，这深刻地展现了当时的社会现实。例如，《圣诞颂歌》的创作是为了让每个读者思考他们如何能为社会带来改变。
