简介：A Passage to India (1924) is a novel by E. M. Forster set against the backdrop of the British Raj and the Indian independence movement in the 1920s. It was selected as one of the 100 great works of English literature by the Modern Library and won the 1924 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. Time magazine included the novel in its "TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005". The story revolves around four characters: Dr. Aziz, his British friend Cyril Fielding, Mrs. Moore, and Adela Quested. During a trip to the Marabar Caves, Adela accuses Aziz of attempting to rape her. Aziz's trial, and its run-up and aftermath, bring out all the racial tensions and prejudices between indigenous Indians and the British colonists who rule India. In A Passage to India, Forster employs his first-hand knowledge of India.　　本书是英国著名作家福斯特的代表作。二十世纪初，英国人穆尔夫人和阿德拉小姐前往印度，一个看望在那里任殖民官的儿子，另一个则是看望这位未婚夫。印度穆斯林医生阿齐兹出于热情和友谊，组织了不少人陪同两位客人前往当地名胜马拉巴山洞游览。在幽暗的山洞里，阿德拉小姐感觉似乎有人侮辱了她，于是掀起了一场轩然大波……
