落、自私、愚昧、自负、欺骗或冷漠所掌控，但是，总有那么一个时刻（往往在接近小说结尾处），奥康纳会安排上帝的恩惠（或曰天惠）降临到他们身上。在这圣灵显现的一瞬间，这些人物突然受到某种精神上的启迪，进而达到某种“顿悟”，他们也许会接受这一天惠，也许会拒绝它，但不管怎样，这一灵光闪现的“天惠时刻”会使他们的内心发生改变。——比目鱼，书评人 2. 朱诺?迪亚斯：《沉溺》 选自小说集《沉溺》《沉溺》里面的九个小短篇和一个准中篇都是以朱诺?迪亚斯自己和他的家庭的真实经历为蓝本书写出来的半自传作品，它所处理的是一个移民家族心灵史上最特殊的时段：移民前在多米尼加共和国的等待期和移民初期在美国的无望岁月。朱诺?迪亚斯在写这些“少作”的时候，还没有获得他后来的作品中罗伯特?波拉尼奥式的喷薄的语言强度，但这种语流清浅、句法简朴的写法与作者的青春期原型所附体的叙述者尤尼尔非常合拍：如此“低限度”的风格，恰好能够为那些在生理、心理与地理的转换交接处所蛰伏的晦暗不明的能量提供随机释放的可能性。——胡续东，作家 3. 米兰达·裘丽：《楼梯上的男人》

熊The Bear 他后来才明白，猎熊早在距离那个早晨很久之前就发生了。 这件事早就开始了，当他第一次把自己的年龄写作两位数字的时候，他的表姐麦克瑟琳第一次带他去大森林野营，好让他在在荒野中为自己赢得猎人的名声和地位，只要轮到他时他有足够的谦卑和忍耐力。 即使从未见过，他已经听过了祖辈传承下的传说，一只巨大年老的熊，一只脚被机关给压伤过，在几乎方圆百米内为它自己挣得了一个活人一般的固定名称。长长的传说故事中，玉米仓被撞毁搜劫了，猪仔，大猪和小牛被叼走到森林中吞吃了，陷阱圈套被推翻在地，狗被打得遍体鳞伤，被杀戮，鸟枪甚至步枪在直接瞄准的距离里发射出枪弹，效果同小孩子从管子里吹出豆子打在他身上一样。在这个男孩出生前，摧毁和重建的走廊就出现了。在这走廊之中，有什么疾行着，不是很快，但是相当不顾一切，难以阻挡，火车头般地蓄意前进——那是一个毛茸茸的巨大的形体。 他还没见过大熊的时候，它就奔跑在他的脑海中了。 甚至在他看到那些未砍伐的森林之前，他梦中就模糊得层叠地出现它在那里留下的扭曲的脚印，毛茸茸的，巨大的身体，赤红的眼睛，没有恶意，但是仅仅太大了，对于那些想阻挡它的狗是太大了，对于那些企图赶上他的马是太大了，对于那人们和他们所放射的炮弹是太大，对于这个区域想要限制他的范围来说，它的确是太过巨大了。 寒笛The Whistle 夜色降临，暮色稀薄，如同穿过许多个冬天的敝衣，难以抵挡彻骨的严寒。然后月亮升起来了，在一片枯叶失色的深林中，一处农庄月色下如同水中白石般清晰可见。如果有一双眼睛比月亮看得更为探究仔细，莫顿家的一切都叫他看见了，即使是最近房子的几排齐整的小小番茄田，它们黯淡的羽毛般，令人惊心地显露着它们的脆弱。月光照耀着一切，盖住了一切黑暗的轮廓，盖住了灯火刚熄的农庄。 屋内，在摆近壁炉的简陋小床上，杰森和萨拉莫顿躺在被子中。火苗在铁格子中跳动，不时发出催眠般的声响，那力竭的火光上下拍打着墙壁，穿过房椽，如同寻找生路的鸟一般，正映在老人们躺的旧板床上方。 杰森疲倦而长久停顿的鼾声是炉火跳动外唯一的噪声。他侧着身朝门，长豌豆般蜷缩在被子下。他的嘴唇在黑暗中微张，不断呼进呼出，缓慢地起伏着,如对话如故事，如疑问如叹息。萨拉嘴唇微张，仰面静卧，却未能入眠。她盯着黑暗中房椽之间难以辨认的角落，眼睛似乎睁得太大，眼皮软软的却绷紧，像两个过度拉伸而走形的开口，失去了它的用处。嘶嘶作响的黄色火焰带着亮蓝色的影音笔直地立在陈旧的木柴上，一下子她的脸，头发和捏住被单边缘的一只手都给照亮了。然后她拉过被单盖没头顶。 夜夜他们冷得发抖地躺着，然而困苦的生活中，他们的交流不比被风暴中扇动的两扇窗子更多。有时许多个日子，许多周没有交谈地过去了。他们并不是真的那么老，只有五十多岁。他们的生活仍被三样东西填满：疲倦，缺乏开口谈话的必要性，和太过巨大以至于难以谈论的贫困，它把他们相连结，却使他们仍旧彼此分离，而且不希望同情。这种沉默的习惯也许很多年前就开始了，可能始于一次剧烈的愤怒，现在谁能知道呢？

经典英文短篇小说 (108)
The Romance of a Busy Broker by O. Henry Pitcher, confidential clerk in the office of Harvey Maxwell, broker, allowed a look of mild interest and surprise to visit his usually expressionless countenance when his employer briskly entered at half past nine in company with his young lady stenographer. With a snappy "Good-morning, Pitcher," Maxwell dashed at his desk as though he were intending to leap over it, and then plunged into the great heap of letters and telegrams waiting there for him. The young lady had been Maxwell's stenographer for a year. She was beautiful in a way that was decidedly unstenographic. She forewent the pomp of the alluring pompadour. She wore no chains, bracelets or lockets. She had not the air of being about to accept an invitation to luncheon. Her dress was grey and plain, but it fitted her figure with fidelity and discretion. In her neat black turban hat was the gold-green wing of a macaw. On this morning she was softly and shyly radiant. Her eyes were dreamily bright, her cheeks genuine peachblow, her expression a happy one, tinged with reminiscence. Pitcher, still mildly curious, noticed a difference in her ways this morning. Instead of going straight into the adjoining room, where her desk was, she lingered, slightly irresolute, in the outer office. Once she moved over by Maxwell's desk, near enough for him to be aware of her presence. The machine sitting at that desk was no longer a man; it was a busy New York broker, moved by buzzing wheels and uncoiling springs. "Well--what is it? Anything?" asked Maxwell sharply. His opened mail lay like a bank of stage snow on his crowded desk. His keen grey eye, impersonal and brusque, flashed upon her half impatiently. "Nothing," answered the stenographer, moving away with a little smile. "Mr. Pitcher," she said to the confidential clerk, did Mr. Maxwell say anything yesterday about engaging another stenographer?" "He did," answered Pitcher. "He told me to get another one. I notified the agency yesterday afternoon to send over a few samples this morning. It's 9.45 o'clock, and not a single picture hat or piece of pineapple chewing gum has showed up yet." "I will do the work as usual, then," said the young lady, "until some one comes to fill the place." And she went to her desk at once and hung the black turban hat with the gold-green macaw wing in its accustomed place. He who has been denied the spectacle of a busy Manhattan broker during a rush of business is handicapped for the profession of anthropology. The poet sings

K e y s t o U n i t T w o (1) I. B. Singer: The Washwoman (2) Frank Sargeson: A Piece of Yellow Soap 1) Questions for Discussion: (Suggested answers for reference) (1) Does the piece of washing soap have the “power”as the narrator tells us? What is the “power” that forces him to take off? (The piece of yellow washing soap is, of course, an ordinary one. The narrator is a “na?ve narrator”who believed that it had some sort of mysterious “power,”while the readers are expected to know better. This power comes from the narrator’s deep sympathy for the tragic fate of the washing woman. Seeing the situation, he simply could not continue to demand the payment which he knew the woman was unable to produce.) (2) In this Unit, we have two stories about two washwomen. There are a lot of similar descriptions and common characteristics in the two stories. Find and list them. (They were both reduce to desperation, depending solely on washing for living. Both were hard-working and uncomplaining, quietly but almost heroically bore their burden and struggled for a hard existence. The author describes their common feature –the white and shrunken fingers –as symbol of suffering in the lives of the working people. They both were both dead by the end of the stories.) (3) The two first-person narrators tell two stories of two washwomen who shared similar tragic fate. Discuss the differences in the narrators that result in the differences in the way the two short stories are told. (Singer’s narrator knows more and tells more about the washing woman, often making direct comments and revealing his own feelings about the life of the woman whose story he is telling. He frequently emphasizes that what he is telling is real, and hints that the story has significance. The narrator’s voice is very close to the author’s. Please see more in “Reading Tips” on page 11. On the other hand, Sargeson’s narrator is a na?ve one, that is, the narrator’s understanding is purposely made shallow, and the reader need find by himself the real meaning in the situation. So the narrator stands at some distance from the author. Please see more in “Reading Tips” on page 15. Therefore, in Text I, we, as readers, are basically “given”or “received”the story, while in Text II, we need to participate imaginatively in the story to “dig out” the true meaning the na?ve narrator has left unexplained.) 2) Explanation and Interpretation:

英语短篇小说-菊花
The Chrysanthemum Elisa Allen, a woman approaching middle age, is at a point in her life when she has begun to realize that her energy and creative drive far exceed the opportunities for their expression. Her marriage is reasonably happy—when she notices that her husband is proud of selling thirty head of steers he has raised, she gives him the compliment he hopes for, while he, in turn, appreciates her ability to grow flowers of exceptional quality. There is an easy banter between them, and while they have settled into a fairly familiar routine, they are still responsive to each other’s moods, and eager to celebrate an achievement in each other’s company with a night on the town. On the other hand, their marriage is childless, and Elisa generally wears bland, bulging clothes that tend to de-sex her. Their house is described as “hard-swept” and “hard-polished”; it is the only outlet for her talents and it is an insufficient focus for her energy. She has begun to sense that an important part of her is lying dormant and that the future will be predictable and rather mundane.

And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter. 我按平时的规律吃晚餐、打扫屋子、写作——做着日常事务。然后我躺下，希望能快点入睡，新的一天就能快点到来——拥有新生太阳的崭新的一天。可当我躺在那儿，等待着世界的日夜回转时，我想到了她。有时我会笑起来，有时那微笑变成了窃笑，然后窃笑又常常变成爆笑。 And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives. 也有些时候，我的喉咙像是被一块东西哽住了，胸口发闷;有时那种伤感席卷 而来，我开始流泪，眼泪常常越流越多，我再也无力抵抗悲伤，败下阵来。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悦或悲伤中飘荡，逐渐入眠。然后梦境开始伴我左右，直至新的一天到来。 When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell m yself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.
