Three Men in a Boat, published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seemed a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers—the jokes seem fresh and witty even today.

《三人同舟》是一部让您领略经典英式幽默的经典喜剧小说,百万销量,经久不衰。《三人同舟》是部让人心情放松的幽默小说,曾被《绅士》杂志评为"史上最幽默的50部文学作品"之一。小说主要围绕一次泛舟之旅展开,充满了夸张、非现实的情节,读来一定会让您捧腹大笑、乐而忘倦。 这本书受到这么多人喜爱的根源可能在于:它不是关于遥远国度的历险记,书中没有英雄也没有大反派,而是关于三个普通小子在附近高兴游玩的故事,很有亲切感。
