2013年，瑞典学院将诺贝尔文学奖颁给了以写作短篇小说见长的加拿大作家爱丽丝·门罗，这在某种程度上褒扬了中短篇小说为世界文学做出的重要贡献。阿根廷女作家萨曼塔·施维伯林甚至说：“门罗能够得到诺贝尔文学奖，让我们这些写作短篇的都松了一口气。”虽然很多人不一定赞同顾彬关于“长篇小说已经没落”的论调，但是短篇小说作为一种更为有力凝练的文学形式，确实更加符合如今这个时代的节奏。本周，着名网站 Buzzfeed 罗列了一份年轻人必读的 29 篇短篇小说书单，这份书单的作者覆盖了英语世界，尤其是美国文学界最富盛名的小说家。《外滩画报》精选出 10 篇已经翻译成中文的小说作重点推荐：
1. 弗兰纳里·奥康纳：《流离失所的人》
《流离失所的人》选自小说集《好人难寻》在弗兰纳里·奥康纳的小说里，尽管大部分时间故事里的人物都被堕落、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》
选自《没有人比你更属于这里》
《没有人比你更属于这里》是一份邀请，是写给都市人看的当代生活的小传奇。如果你在这一幅幅内心图景中找到了自己的影子，在那些焦虑、疯狂、苦闷、无奈、孤独之中找到了自己的情绪，与这些稀奇古怪的性场景、变幻的性向及身份感同深受，在主人公古灵精怪的观察及思考之中看见了幻想的光泽、体会到了智性的愉悦；那么，这些故事便是为你而写的。没有人比你更属于这里。——btr，书评人
4. 洛丽·摩尔：《房产》
《房产》选自短篇小说集《美国鸟人》在《美国鸟人》这部短篇小说集里，洛丽·摩尔通过不适、不幸、尴尬和迷失等展现人生戏剧的方式，深深叩击城市日常生活中无处不在的恐惧，以及人们无时不在为摆脱这种恐惧而做的努力与徒劳，成功地刻画出一系列不满社会、活无目标、情无着落的当代美国人形象。《美国鸟人》窥视到了所有美国人最惆怅的心灵深处，被《纽约时报》赞誉为“最诙谐、最生动的剖析人间爱情与人性弱点的作品之一。”其内容之广度、情感之深度和黑色幽默及语言力量，均奠定了洛丽·摩尔作为美国当今最优秀小说家之一的地位。
5. 乔伊斯：《死者》
选自《都柏林人》如果让我选出自己最喜爱的小说家，一定有乔伊斯；如果让我选出自己最喜爱的中短篇小说，一定有乔伊斯的《死者》、《阿拉比》和《沉痛的往事》，这是三个值得背诵的小说。他的语言那样简洁、优美，人物高贵、感情丰富。《死者》不被人提起的开头和它那着名的结尾一样让我难忘-----“莉莉简直是在飞跑”，当那个年轻的小说家随口问这个姑娘是否有了心上人时，姑娘突然冒出一句：“男人只会说些废话，他们把你的一切夺去，然后就把你抛弃”。让人眼花缭乱的冗长、庸俗的宴会，小小的冷清的旅馆的房间，多年前曾站在一棵苹果树下的早亡的十七岁的少年，地老天荒的爱情，笼罩了整个爱尔兰整个世界的雪、死亡和希望。——瓦当，作家
6. 裘帕·拉希莉：《疾病解说者》
选自小说集《疾病解说者》故事和故事是不同的。那些急
迫的、紧张的、扣人心弦的故事，可以从第一行起就抓住你的心，让你迫不及待地想知道每一点情节的发展；但也有那么一类故事，一开始是平淡如水，可字里行间却孕育着某些难以名状的情绪，而且这些情绪会随着阅读的过程静静地增长，直到有一行触动心灵的文字出现，这些情绪就会像决了堤的洪水一样喷薄而出，不可收拾。——丁丁虫，科幻文学评论者
7. J·塞林格：《逮香蕉鱼的最佳日子》
选自《九故事》这样的一部短篇小说集，必然会有多种读法。尽管这些小说是先后发表的，但从结集后次序安排，仍能看出塞林格对整体结构是早有考虑的。它不是九个短篇的简单聚合，而是一个精心构建的整体。第一篇作品，也就是被纳博科夫称赞为伟大小说的《逮香蕉鱼的最佳日子》，写的是青年西蒙-格拉斯的死。最后一篇作品《特迪》，写的是一个早慧得有某种特异思维与领悟力、有某种先知意味的孩子的死，他预见到了自己的死，甚至包括具体的时间，但他毫无忧虑地走了过去，接受了它。一个身心俱伤的青年人的死，跟一个领悟了人世道理的孩子的死，构成了整部小说集的首与尾。两种死显然是处在不同的层面上的，但最后无疑它们是重合在一起的，这就使这部小说集有了一个环形的结构。我们可以把它理解为圆满的结果，也可以理解为一种归零的状态。——赵松，书评人
8. 珍妮弗·伊根：《野游》
选自《恶棍来访》詹妮弗?伊根对人物心理和感情的细致把握、对不同时代美国社会的敏锐观察、在场景、对话描写方面
的扎实功力让人很难将本书简单归结为一本“炫技之作”。事实上，作者笔下的人物有灵魂，故事的背后有感情。作者在书中借不止一位人物之口说：“时间是一条恶棍。”（Time is a goon.）。而这部小说的主题也许正是“时间”。翻阅本书，读者看到时间这条“恶棍”依次造访这些故事里的主人公，青春逐渐消逝，梦想消耗殆尽，在时间这条长河的岸边回望逝去的激情、爱情、友情、遗憾、创伤，不禁令人唏嘘。——比目鱼，书评人
9. 安妮·普鲁：《断背山》
选自《近距离：怀俄明故事》一个女人的文字可以有力到何种程度？近距离是我所见的、所能想象的极致。怀俄明的荒凉大地，黑暗依附着光亮，长风从不停息。生于此地的人何等坚韧，其命运等同于树木，荒草。个体常常毁灭，族群却风吹再生。普鲁的冷峻和节制，是镜头朝向这片土地的最适宜的力度。这镜头对人倾注了无限悲悯，却不露声色。《身居地域，但求杯水》是我最喜欢的，也最惨烈。《断臂山》在粗糙的环境中抓到牛仔内心的不可抑止的欲望温情，曲折无绝，自然有其传播的理由。一向喜爱美国短篇。近距离再次满足了我。——朝南阳台，出版人
10. 卡尔维诺：《一切于一点》
选自《宇宙奇趣集》有时候在想，这本《宇宙奇趣全集》本身就是一本自由之书，故事全都以回归的形式开头，或者是万物鸿蒙天地一色的混沌，或者是没有进化的人类，或者是月亮与地球距离并不遥远的年代，我们走进这童话世界的同时，早已经
被卡尔维诺还原了，那么我们从中所感受到的自由，又是不是这种回归的功效？——钱佳楠，作家

选自《Welcome to the Monkey House》

关于经典英语故事短文阅读
关于经典英语故事短文阅读 “Why were you so rude to your brother?” Gladys asked. “He drove all the way over here to deliver that package to you. But you didn’t invite him inside your apartment. You didn’t offer him anything to drink or eat. Then, when he was talking to me, you kept telling him to speak faster. He was speaking slowly because he knows my English isn’t that good—he was just being polite. Finally, when he and I sat down in the living room, you just went to your computer and started typing away.” William tried to explain to Gladys that what she saw between him and his brother was their normal interaction. Roland was simply delivering a package; there was nothing for the two of them to chat about. Further, Roland felt that William's apartment had an odor; he usually didn’t even come inside the apartment when he visited. In addition, Roland was very picky about what he drank and ate—he wasn’t interested in eating William’s “junk food.” Finally, William argued, he had told Roland many times not to “talk down” to Gladys. “He talks to you like you’re a two-year-old,” William said. She said she didn’t mind; Roland was just trying to communicate. She just wished that William woul d be more polite to him. “When my sister visits me,” she said, “I hug her, I invite her inside, we eat and drink and talk, and we just have a good time with each other.” Well, William told her, he and his brother were different. “No,” she correct ed him, “maybe you and I are different.” It was the first day of class. Two of her new ESL classmates wanted to know where Tara was from. They were both from Iraq. Because Tara looked Iraqi, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was fro m Iraq. Tara replied, “No, I’m not.” Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Iran, or Syria, or Jordan. To each question, Tara responded with a simple no. Laughing, one woman said to the other, “She's not from anywhere!” The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Arabic.

世界著名短篇小说《窗》泰格特(中英文)
世界著名短篇小说《窗》—泰格特（中英文） 世界著名短篇小说《窗》—泰格特 《窗》 在一家医院的病房里，曾住过两位病人，他们的病情都很严重。这间病房十分窄小，仅能容下他们俩人。病房设有一扇门和一个窗户，门通向走廊，透过窗户可以看到外面的世界。其中一位病人经允许，可以分别在每天上午和下午起身坐上一个小时。这位病人的病床靠近窗口。而另一位病人则不得不日夜躺在床上。当然，两位病人都需要静养治疗。使他们感到痛苦的是，两人的病情不允许他们做任何事情借以消遣，只有静静的躺着。而且只有他们两个人。两人经常谈天，一谈就是几个小时。他们谈起各自的家庭，各自的工作，各自在战争中做过什么，等等。 每天上午和下午，时间一到，靠近窗的病人就被扶起身来，开始一小时的仰坐。每当这时，他就开始为同伴描述起他所见到的窗外的一切。渐渐地，每天的这两个小时，几乎就成了他和同伴生活中的全部内容了。 很显然，这个窗户俯瞰着一座公园，公园里面有一泓湖水，湖面上照例漫游着一群群野鸭、天鹅。公园里的孩子们有的在扔面包喂这些水禽，有的在摆弄游艇模型。一对对年轻的情侣手挽着手在树阴下散步。公园里鲜花盛开，主要有玫瑰
花，但四周还有五彩斑斓、争相斗艳的牡丹花和金盏草。在公园那端的一角，有一块网球场，有时那儿进行的比赛确实精彩，不时也有几场板球赛，虽然球艺够不上正式决赛的水平，但有的看总比没有强。那边还有一块用于玩滚木球的草坪。公园的尽头是一排商店，在这些商店的后边闹市区隐约可见。 躺着的病人津津有味地听这一切。这个时刻的每一分钟对他来说都是一种享受。描述仍在继续：一个孩童怎样差一点跌如湖中，身着夏装的姑娘是多么美丽、动人。接着又是一场扣人心弦的网球赛。他听着这栩栩如生的描述，仿佛亲眼看到了窗外所发生的一切。 一天下午，当他听到靠窗的病人说到一名板球队员正慢悠悠地把球击得四处皆是时，不靠窗的病人突然产生了一个想法：为什么偏是他有幸能观赏到窗外的一切？为什么自己不应得到这种机会的？他为自己会有这种想法而感到惭愧，竭力不再这么想。可是，他愈加克制，这种想法却变得愈加强烈，直至几天以后，这个想法已经进一步变为紧挨着窗口的为什么不该是我呢？ 他白昼无时不为这一想法所困扰，晚上，又彻夜难眠。结果，病情一天天加重了，医生们对其病困不得而知。 一天晚上，他照例睁着双眼盯着天花板，这里，他的同伴突然醒来，开始大声咳嗽，呼吸急促，时断时续，液体已

He wanted to eat his own hay. Then the dog awoke, stood up and barked at the ox. The ox said to the dog, “Do you want to eat this hay, too?” “Of course not,” said the dog. “Then, go away and let me eat my own hay.” “Oh, no. You go away and let me sleep.” “What a selfish dog! He will neither eat the hay himself, nor let me eat it !” said the ox to himself. 有一次一只狗正在打盹在马槽里的牛。它装满了干草。但是很快的牛回来,从他的作品占着茅坑不拉屎。他想要吃他的干草。然后狗醒了,站起来,冲着牛,牛对狗说:“你想要吃草吗?” “当然不,”小狗回答。 “那么,离开,让我吃自己的干草上。”
“噢,不。你走了,让我睡的。” “一个自私的狗!他既不会吃干草自己,也不让我吃它!牛说:“自言 自语。 2.The Lion, The Bear And The Fox（獅子、熊與狐狸） Long ago a lion and a bear saw a kid. They sprang upon it at the same time. The lion said to the bear, “I caught this kid first, and so this is mine.” "No, no," said the bear.“I found it earlier than you, so this is mine.” And they fought long and fiercely. At last both of them got very tired and could no longer fight. A fox who hid himself behind a tree not far away and was watching the fight between the lion and the bear, came out and walked in between them, and ran off with the kid. The lion and the bear both saw the fox, but they could not even catch the fox. The lion said to the bear, “We have fought for nothing. That sly fox has got the kid away.” 很久以前,有一只狮子和一只熊看到一个孩子。他们把在它在同一时间内。狮子说到熊》, 我抓住了这个孩子第一,因此这是我的了。”

Finally, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson boarded the plane. His friend started the engine and began to taxi onto the runway of the airport. Mr. Johnson had heard that the most dangerous part of a flight were the take-off and the landing, so he was extremely frightened and closed his eyes. After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend, "Look at those people down there. They look as small as ants, don't they?"

优美英文诗歌10首 The Rainy Day The day is cold,and dark,and dreary; It rains,and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; My thought still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still,sad heart! And cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. The Seaside Is My Home I live near the sea for years. The billow sound every night, Enlightens me how to be great, And how to look on greatness.

Why do they fly when others sink?坚韧不拔的人成功的秘诀是什么?当其他人被困难压倒他们为什么能挺过艰难的时刻?为什么其他人失败了,而他们却能获得成功?为什么其他人都深陷泥沼时,他们却能展翅高飞?The answer is very simple. It’s all in the way they treat their problems. Yes, every living person has problems. A problem-free life is a fantasy —a mirage3 in the desert. Everyone should accept that fact.答案很简单,全看他们是如何看待自己面临的难题。 不错,人人有本难念的经。 没有难题困扰的人生只能是一个幻想,是沙漠中的海市蜃楼。 人人都该接受这个现实。 Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its base. Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its valleys. No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time. Problems will end.

But what's the word from the street staircase hallways— perhaps they've passed by each other a million times? 因为他们先前素未谋面,他们确信， 他们之间毫无关联。 然而从那街上、楼梯间、过道上传来的细语来判断—— 或许他们曾无数次擦肩而过? I want to ask them if they don't remember— a moment face to face in some revolving door?
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd? a curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver?—but I know the answer. No, they don't remember. 我想问他们， 难道不记得两人—— 曾在某扇旋转门中, 面对面相视的那一瞬间? 也许曾在人群中和对方咕哝了一句“对不起”? 曾拿起话筒和对方短促地说了句“打错了”?—— 但我知道答案。 是的,他们不记得。 They'd be amazed to hear that Chance has been toying with them now for years. 他们定会感到诧异, 得知缘分原来已戏弄他们， 多年。 Not quite ready yet to become their Destiny, it pushed them close, drove them apart, it barred their path,

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

中学经典短篇英文小说赏析《the cat and the fiddle》
The cat and the fiddle Hey,diddle,diddle， The cat and the fiddle， The cow jumped over the moon！ The little dog laughed To see such sport， And the dish ran off with the spoon！ Perhaps you think this verse is all nonsense,and that th e things it mentions could never have happened；but they di d happen,as you will understand when I have explained the m all to you clearly. Little Bobby was the only son of a small farmer who live d out of town upon a country road.Bobby's mother looked a fter the house and Bobby's father took care of the farm,a nd Bobby himself,who was not very big,helped them both a s much as he was able. It was lonely upon the farm,especially when his father an d mother were both busy at work,but the boy had one wa y to amuse himself that served to pass many an hour whe n he would not otherwise have known what to do.He was ver y fond of music,and his father one day brought him fro m the town a small fiddle,or violin,which he soon learne d to play upon.I don't suppose he was a very fine musicia n,but the tunes he played pleased himself；as well as hi s father and mother,and Bobby's fiddle soon became his con stant companion. One day in the warm summer the farmer and his wife determi ned to drive to the town to sell their butter and eggs an d bring back som e groceries in exchange for them,and whil e they were gone Bobby was to be left alone. “We shall not be back until late in the evening，”said hi s mother，“for the weather is too warm to drive very fas t.But I have left you a dish of bread and milk for you r supper,and you must be a good boy and amuse yourself wi th your fiddle until we return.” Bobby promised to be good and look after the house,and th en his father and mother climbed into the wagon and drov e away to the town. The boy was not entirely alone,for there was the big blac k tabby-cat lying upon the floor in the kitchen,and the l ittle yellow dog barking at the wagon as it drove away,an d the big moolie-cow lowing in the pasture down by the bro
