"Great Expectations" is one of Dickens's most mature works and his relatively late work. The original title of this work was GreatExpectations, which means a legacy. China translated it as "Great Expectations". This translation gives readers the impression that the protagonist of the work has a great future. In fact, this "Great Expectations" is ironic. It should be said that the theme of this work is by no means just a story about the disillusionment of the orphan Pip who wants to be a gentleman.
