契诃夫短篇小说

　　The house was very still. In the little room over the porch, the lady in black sat alone. Near her, a child's white dress lay across a chair. On the floor at her feet lay a tiny pair of shoes. A doll hung over a chair and a toy soldier occupied the little stand by the bed.

　　And everywhere was silence-the strange silence that comes only to a room where the clock has stopped ticking.

　　The clock stood on the shelf near the end of the bed. The Lady in Black looked at it. She remembered the wave of anger that had come over

A Tray of Ice Cubes

Daphne and Colin were spending Friday evening as they spent most Friday evenings – in front of the telly with a microwaved dinner and a bottle of sweet German wine, watching their favourite programme; a camcorder compilation of matrimonial mishaps and wedding-day disasters called The World s Worst Weddings .

Each programme treated its viewers to a parade of doomed brides tumbling down church steps, or skidding backwards and landing legs-in-the-air on dance floors.

Beautifully crafted, four-tiered weddi

　　I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I had met in New York's Greenwich Village. Probably the story is one of those mysterious bits of folklore that reappear every few years, to be told a new in one form or another. However, I still like to think that it really did happen, somewhere, sometime.

　　几年前我在纽约的格林尼治村从一位遇到的姑娘那儿第一次听到这个故事。它也许是那种隔几年就会改头换面地被重新传播一次的神奇的民间传说。然而我仍然愿意想象它是个某地某时真正发生过的事。

　　早上6点半，闹钟响，她起床，洗漱，开火，做饭。

　　7点，他起床，洗漱，吃饭。7点半，他送孩子上学，她去上班。

　　晚上，她下班回家，接回孩子，顺带去超市买菜，到家，安排孩子写作业，自己关在厨房里煎炒煮炸。

　　他回来，躺在沙发上看电视，饭菜上桌，三口之家围在一起吃饭。

　　吃完饭，他在书房写字，她去楼上看书。

　　10点半，她上床睡觉，他依然在书房写字。

　　结婚七年，几乎每个日子都是往返重复，感觉一天就是一辈子，他对这种波澜不惊的婚姻生活产生了怀疑和失望。

　　那天下班，不想回家，机缘巧合，遇到一个风情万种的女子。

　　于是，他回家越来越晚，甚至夜不归宿。

　　阳台上挂着他的衬衣和袜子，卫生间有他的牙刷和毛巾，家里到处都是他的味道，却没有他这个人。

　　她每天半夜都要起来坐会才能继续入睡，她承认对他关心不够，孩子、家务、工作占去了她大量时间。

　　他在她面前掩饰的时候，她宁愿相信他是贪玩的孩子，只是一时忘了回家，但很快会回家。

　　当他告诉她，那个女子很善良，他爱那个女子，要和她离婚时，她的心在流血，她发疯似地拳头没头没脑地打在他身上，她绝望的是她在用身心经营家，而他身心出轨。

　　身心俱惫的她住进了医院，面对疾病，她从最初的愤怒中冷静下来，开始找各种原谅他的

　　Promptly at the beginning of twilight, came again to that quiet corner of that quiet, small park the girl in gray. She sat upon a bench and read a book, for there was yet to come a half hour in which print could be accomplished.

　　To repeat: Her dress was gray, and plain enough to mask its impeccancy of style and fit. A large meshed veil imprisoned her turban hat and a face that shone through it with a calm and unconscious beauty. She had come there at the same hour on the day previous, and on the day before that; and ther

A Rose for Emily

Title

Faulkner described the title as \allegorical title; the meaning was, here was a woman who has had a tragedy and nothing could be done about it, and I pitied her and this was a salute ... to a woman you would hand a rose.\

The much-anthologized story is among the most widely read and highly praised of Faulkner’s work. Beyond its lurid appeal and somewhat Gothic atmosphere, Faulkner’s “ghost story,” as he once called it, gestures to broader ideas, including the tensions between North and South, complexi

　　1.当群雁引吭高歌着飞过夜空的时候，当没有海豹皮大衣的女人对丈夫百般温存起来的时候，当苏比躺在公园的长凳上辗转反侧的时候，你就知道冬天快要来了。

　　一双强壮有力的大手将他推了一个转身，悄无声息地又回到了人行横道上，从而扭转了那只野鸭险遭毒手的可怜命运。

　　两个侍者架着苏比，将他左耳贴地、狠狠地摔在了人行横道坚硬的水泥地面上。苏比摔得像散了架似的，宛如木工用的折尺，他一节一节地硬撑这站了起来，掸去了身上的灰尘。想要被警察抓起来似乎只是一个玫瑰色的梦了。

　　他一心想落在他们的手中，而他们却似乎把他当成了永不会犯错的国王。——《警察与赞美诗》

　　2.斯塔弗刚刚享用了一顿丰盛的大餐，现在的他只剩下呼吸和走路的气力了。他的眼睛像两颗浅色的醋栗，牢牢都镶嵌在一张臃肿、油腻、呆滞，呈油灰色的脸上。上衣的口子，此时像爆米花似的乱迸开来，散落在他周围的地上。

　　已经撑得不想动弹的他，只是用一种不屑的懒懒的神情，轻蔑地看着周围的一切。

　　斯塔弗的声音像是漏了气的蒸汽管子：“真心地感谢您的这顿丰盛的饭菜。”

　　他褴褛的衣衫鼓胀起来，就像猫头鹰抖动起它浑身的羽毛一样。接着，他又像是一匹中了暑的马，重重地摔在了便道上

《初秋》(Early Autumn)是美国黑人作家Langston Hughes(兰斯顿·休斯)一篇脍炙人口的短篇小说。作者以朴素而高超的写作手法,通过短短文字,向我们展示了一幅平静而又波澜壮阔的感情画面,读来回味无穷。《初秋》是一篇小小说,以素描笔法,描写出一对昔日的情人若干年后重逢的情景,突出表现了女主人公的怀旧心理。这篇小说是兰斯顿·休斯之作。提起他的名字,人们很自然地想到他反映黑人生活的诗歌。但休斯多才多艺,诗歌以外,他也写小说,而且还并不完全局限于黑人生活题材方面。《初秋》就是一个例子,它再现的是普通人的普通生活。休斯的文学创作为美国黑人现实主义文学的发展开辟了道路。《初秋》写的虽然不是黑人所遭遇的挫折、压迫与不公,但它的手法却也是自然主义的。

自然主义文学的基调是记实性的,自然主义作家有意采用明白通俗、朴素无华
