序言
《科学怪人》是英国浪漫派女小说家玛丽·雪莱创作的小说，一般又译为《弗兰肯斯泰因》。“科学怪人”是违反大自然生命延续法则的产物，科学家弗兰肯斯泰因取代造物者的角色，企图以自己的双手创造生命。真理被科学家过大的野心蒙蔽扭曲，使他看不见背离自然界物竞天择的危机。科学家绝对无法预料到亲手创造的诡异恐怖怪物，会对人类造成何种可怕的后果。科学怪人象征人类追求不可能的知识，却因未及准备好而必须付出惨痛的代价。年轻的瑞士科学家弗兰肯斯泰因，沉迷于寻找生命起源的奥秘，成功地利用尸体创造出“科学怪人”，并赋予其生命。完成作品的刹那，他看见在自己手里完成的巨人的丑陋模样，内心深感厌恶及恐惧。成功完成的作品却和脑海里想像的形象背道而驰，在巨大落差的情况下，他选择远远地逃离自己的创作物。
“科学怪人”就像一个一诞生即被恶意遗弃的小孩。怪人本无罪，无从选择自己的降临，却又无从选择地遭受造物者的背叛及摒弃。他如同新生的孩子探索发现社会群体的生活，开始学习语言以便和人接触沟通。“科学怪人”在感受到其他人拥有家庭的温馨时，也开始渴望友谊，渴望有家人陪伴的生活。但他是个外貌丑陋的怪物，自始至终无法获得人类的认同，悲伤使他万念俱灰开始走上邪路，因而展开一连串对其创造者无情的报复……
《科学怪人》由浅显易懂的现代美语改编而成以中英对照的方式，搭配精心绘制的插图，带你走入令人心生畏惧的离奇故事，让你完全沉浸在科学怪人的爱恨情仇里。

I woke up suddenly, cold and trembling. Iopened my eyes to see the huge monster standingover my bed.
He opened his mouth as if he were trying tospeak. I heard strange noises coming from histhroat. He reached for me but I couldn' t stand tolet him touch me. I jumped up and ran out intothe street.
I spent the rest of the night outside in therain. I sat shivering, thinking what a mistake lhad made. I was terrified and disgusted, and Ididn t know what to do. I stood in the streetmumbling to myself. I tried to think but mythoughts always returned to the monster.“My God! ” I cried. “What have I done?”
A s the sun came up, I began to walk. Icouldn't stand to go back into the house.I walked through the streets in a daze. I didn'tcare where I went as long as I left the monsterbehind.

“I'm so glad you' re here, Henry, “ I cried”Would you like to come to my apartment?”
He accepted my invitation and I led himthrough the streets. He talked about home andmy family as we walked.
“Everyone is quite worried about you, Victor,"he said. "I have to say that you're not lookingwell. ”
“I'm just tired, Henry, ” I lied. “I've beenworking on an important project for school.”
