❖ 欧文的短篇小说，因为它们充满了奇幻色彩， 大部分都取材于欧洲地区的古老传说，显得 及其神秘离奇。他的《鬼门关》，那是一个 关于鬼魂、冒险、寻宝的故事，虽然情节没 有那么的错综复杂，却也扣人心弦，引人入 胜。欧文叙述事情的口吻就像是一位慈祥的 老者坐在篝火旁略带睡意地讲故事一样，有 一种非同一般的魔力。

up, he finds himself in a transformed society. Most people in his generation have died, leaving him nearly unidentified. Together with the death of the older generation is the demise of tradition and old life style that Wrinkle was comfortable with. The political jargons, the bustling spirit of the new nation is incomprehensible to him. Through the eyes of Wrinkle, a rough sketch of the American society after independence is seen in perspective.
Plot Summary

In an escape from his shrew wife, he meets some ghosts in the mountains, drinks their alcohol, and falls into a sleep that lasts 20 years.

华盛顿欧文
华盛顿·欧文（1783-1859）是美国历史上第一位享有国际声誉的作家。
曾任美国驻伦敦使馆秘书和美国驻西班牙公使。
1783年4月3日出生在纽约一个富商家庭。
欧文从少年时代起就喜爱阅读英国作家司各特、拜仑和彭斯等人的作品。
欧文的第一部重要作品是《纽约外史》，1820年，欧文的《见闻札记》出版，引起欧洲和美国文学界的重视，这部作品奠定了欧文在美国文学史上的地位。
之后，欧文又创作了多部作品，如：《阿尔罕伯拉》、《攻克格拉纳达》、《哥伦布传》等等。
欧文是散文大师，是美国文学奠基人之一。
他的文笔优雅自然，清新精致，时常流露出温和的幽默。
1859年11月28日，欧文与世长辞，美国人民为了怀念这位在文学方面做出突出贡献的作家，在纽约下半旗致哀，而欧文的许多优秀作品则被人们传诵至今，成为珍贵的文学遗产。
他本人更被尊为“美国文学之父”。
1783年，欧文出生在纽约的一个富人家庭，他从小喜欢看《鲁滨逊漂流记》、《格列佛游记》这种历险故事，还常常钻到剧院里去看戏。
欧文后来最知名的作品是《见闻札记》，写的就是在外游历的故事，不能不说是幼时受到了读书的影响。
早期翻译名家林纾将《见闻札记》译成中文，取名《拊掌录》，这是欧文作品的第一个中译本。
林纾在序中说：“欧文气量宏广，而思致深邃而便敏，行文跳踊变化，匪夷所思。
其雅趣高情……又博古，广哀遗典，叩以所有，无不立应。
”给予了他很高的评价。
1809年，他的第一部作品《纽约外史》以“迪德里希·尼克博克”的笔名出版。
这是一部具有独特风格的诙谐之作，充分显露出欧文的幽默才能。
《纽约外史》出版后，欧文便成为纽约文坛风靡一时的人物。
在这之前，美国虽然获得独立已有三十余年，但在文学方面却始终未能摆脱英国的束缚，创作出足以代表这个新兴资产阶级共和国的作品来。
欧文运用本国题材写出的《纽约外史》这部具有民族特色的作品，对于促进美国民族文学的发展有着重要的意义。
1815年，欧文再度赴英。

❖ He assisted at their sports, made their playthings, taught them to fly kites and shoot marbles, and told them long stories of ghosts, witches, and Indians. Whenever he went dodging about the village, he was surrounded by a troop of them, hanging on his skirts, clambering on his back, and playing a thousand tricks on him with impunity; and not a dog would bark at him throughout the neighborhood.
❖ The great error in Rip’s composition was an insuperable aversion to all kinds of profitable labor. It could not be from the want of assiduity or perseverance; for he would sit on a wet rock, with a rod as long and heavy as a Tartar’s lance, and fish all day without a murmur, even though he should not be encouraged by a single nibble.
❖ At the foot of these fairy mountains the voyager may have descried the light smoke curling up from a village whose shingle roofs gleam among the trees, just where the blue tints of the upland melt away into the fresh green of the nearer landscape. It is a little village of great antiquity, having been founded by some of the Dutch colonists…
