短篇小说双语精读
㈠ 两篇短篇英文小说,及主要内容,初中生能看懂的,急!!!
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去,当他沿着路走时,在路的一边他发现一箱好贫饮,他说:“我不计划吃那些贫饮,因为富人会给我更多的食物,他会给我特别好吃的东西。”接着他拿起贫饮,一把扔到土里去。 他继续走,来到河边,河涨水了,因此,他到不了河对岸,他等了一会儿,接着他说:“今天我去不了富人家了,因为我不能度过河。” 他开始回家,那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的,他找到贫饮,特别开心地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。 不要把好东西扔掉,换个时候你会觉得它们大有效果处。
The Old Cat An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
【译文】 老猫 一位老妇有只猫,这只猫特别老,它跑不快了,也咬不了东西,因为它年纪太大了。一天,老猫发现一只老鼠,它跳过去抓这只老鼠,然而,它咬不住这只老鼠。因此,老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了,因为老猫咬不了它。 于是,老妇特别生气,因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫,猫说:“不要打你的老仆人,我已经为你服务了特别多年,还而且愿意为你效劳,但是,我实在太老了,对年纪大的不要这么无情,要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。

㈦ 学英语,高分求推荐一本英文小说(最好双语),内容是现代的,贴近生活的,要求有大量对话和生活情境。。
别看剧本,剧本太崩溃了,现在上课天天学drama的剧本,演起来好看但是读的话。。。蜡烛
我现在加拿大高三,所以大概和你的水平差不多,你是想要娱乐性质比较强的还是比较专业的?
推荐:
哈利波特。简单易懂,逐步渐进。前面几本很轻松,后面的越来越难。有中文有英文,而且看完书之后再去看电影就能听懂啦,英式发音必选……而且好买,大书店里应该都有……
指环王。经典之作,理由同上。
暮光之城。这个书和电影我都没有觉得好看。hp我中英文加起来看过不下二十遍,指环王英文不下五遍,但是暮光一遍就够了……好处是,美式英语,语言比较贴近生活。
美剧绝望的主妇,速度很慢,读音标准,而且很规范。在国内新东方的老师经常用这个做教材……大概是跟我的生活离得太远了觉得没意思,不过建议可以试试。
这些都是娱乐性比较强的……别觉得哈利波特幼稚什么的,一提到最喜欢的书学校里有一半人都是它……而且我当时来这里之前啃了好几遍,然后专业性不强的阅读都没有问题啦……
如果想要专业一点的,比如名著什么的,再追问哦……

《麦琪的礼物》赏析
麦琪,是圣子耶稣诞生时前来送礼的三位智慧的贤人。他们首创了圣诞节馈赠礼物的风俗。在西方人看来,圣诞礼物是最可珍贵的,因而也希望自己获得的礼物是最有价值的“麦琪的礼物”。
美国著名作家欧·亨利在《麦琪的礼物》这篇小说中,用他笔调幽默又带有淡淡哀伤的艺术语言讲述了一个“没有曲折、不足为奇的故事”。以圣诞前夜馈赠礼物如此平常的题材创构的小说,在西方文坛并非罕见,其中也不乏精心之作,而欧·亨利的《麦琪的礼物》独自绝响,成为这类题材的杰作,确实是令人深思的。
首先,从内容上看。全篇以馈赠圣诞礼物为中心线,写了美国一对贫穷而恩爱的夫妇。这个家庭的主妇为了节省每个铜子儿,不得不“每次一个、两个向杂货铺、菜贩和肉店老板那儿死乞白赖地硬扣下来”。尽管如此,到圣诞前夕全家只剩下一块八毛七分钱。作家不用多费笔墨去写这个家庭的拮据困窘,只是简单地用“一块八毛七分钱”引出全篇。唯其如是,深爱丈夫的主妇德拉把这钱数了三遍,并因为无法为丈夫购得一件称心的“麦琪的礼物”而伤心地哭泣。欧·亨利最擅长用貌似平淡的话语作素描,去营构一种气氛,让读者沉湎其中,领味和思考人物的命运。“一块八毛七分钱”为这个“没有曲折、不足为奇的故事”营构的忧郁凄凉的气氛始终贯穿全文,即使写到夫妇看到礼物时的瞬时惊喜和欢乐时也明显地带有这种气氛袒露的伤痛。“人生是由啜泣、抽噎和微笑组成的,而抽噎占了其中绝大部分”。这句话似乎折射出欧·亨利对当时美国现实的深沉思考。作家写出了一对贫穷夫妇的痛苦,也在对人物思想性格和故事情节的描写中,把读者的趣味引向高尚的境界,给人以启迪,让人从中获得美的陶冶。这是《麦琪的礼物》这篇小说真正价值之所在。
德拉为了给丈夫心爱的金表配上一副精巧的表链,忍痛卖掉自己一头美丽的头发。那“美丽的头发披散在身上,像一股褐色的小瀑布,奔泻闪亮”,丈夫吉姆非常喜爱妻子这头美丽的褐发。他深知爱妻为了装扮头发对百老汇路上一家商店橱窗里陈列的玳瑁发梳渴望已久。为了在圣诞前夕给爱妻赠送玳瑁发梳作为有价值的“麦琪的礼物”,吉姆也忍痛卖掉了三代祖传的金表。德拉的美发和吉姆的金表,是这个贫穷家庭中唯一引为自豪的珍贵财产。为了对爱人表示深挚的爱,他们在圣诞之夜失去了这两件最珍贵的财产,换来了已无金表与之匹配的表链和已无美发借之装扮的发梳。瞬间的欢乐付出了昂贵的代价,而随之而来的无疑是深深的痛苦。欧·亨利经过对现实生活的深沉思考之后,精心筛选了这个故事的主要情节,使这类易入俗套的题材焕发出奇异动人的光彩。金表和美发,对这个每星期只收入20块钱的家庭来说是一笔不可复得的巨大财富。这个遗憾带来的苦涩感,使每个善良的读者心扉颤栗。这个凝聚着社会现实生活无法解决的真实矛盾(爱情和财富)因作家深沉的文笔而倍增真实,更能引起读者的怜悯和同情,并将他们引入更深刻的思考中去。欧·亨利的短篇小说一向不以奇诡情节取胜,揭示复杂的社会生活往往不过摄取其中一个镜头,但那种刻意追求的以情动人的独特艺术效果,却能透过“没有曲折、不足为奇的故事”冲击读者的心扉。德拉和吉姆为了一时的感情冲动,“极不聪明地为了对方牺牲了他们一家最宝贵的东西”,作家把他们称作“两个住在一间公寓里的笨孩子”。在那个唯金钱万能的社会中,他们的礼物不能算作是智慧的“麦琪的礼物”。但是,他们失去了财富,却加深了人世间最可宝贵的真挚的爱情。在爱情与财富的矛盾中他们为了前者牺牲了后者。所以,作家在小说末尾留下了一段意味深长的话:“让我们对目前一般聪明人说最后一句话,在所有馈赠礼物的人当中,他们两个是最聪明的……他们就是麦琪。”
小说揭示社会现实不靠说教,而是用人物感情起伏的发展变化引为脉络,启发读者去触摸、感受人物带有悲剧色彩的思想性格。在那个金钱可以买卖爱情,心理和感情出现畸变的社会中,德拉夫妇之间真挚深厚的爱充满了作家的理想主义的色彩。欧·亨利不写这个社会中金钱作贱爱情的罪恶,偏去写这个晦暗镜头中的诗情画意,去赞扬德拉夫妇的聪慧,这绝非常人手笔。所以,作品给人的不是消沉和晦暗,而是对美的追求和眷恋,从而把读者引向高尚的境界。
一般说来,短篇小说因其篇幅短小,要求作家以“少少许”胜“多多许”,就必须笔墨凝练,刻画人物风姿只能抓住一两个侧面去作速写勾勒。其难度在某种程度上未必比中、长篇小。欧·亨利的短篇常以他独具风格的感伤笔调和诙谐轻快的笔锋,去刻画人物和铺展情节,使笔下的形象富有立体感,并给人以不尽的余韵。《麦琪的礼物》正是这个艺术特色的代表作。裁剪精到的构思,对话般亲切的语言,微带忧郁的情调,使这个短篇在缕缕情感的光束中显露出丰厚的内涵,激发读者对爱情、金钱的价值的思考。作家细致地写德拉无钱为丈夫买礼物的焦灼心情,写德拉的美发,甚至写德拉上街卖发和买表链的全过程,却惜墨如金地避开了吉姆卖金表买发梳的经过。作家可以细致地描写吉姆回家后德拉担心失去美发会伤害吉姆的爱所作的一连串解释,却在吉姆讲完卖金表事之后戛然然止住全文。时而细致入微,时而寥寥数笔,读者仍能从那些不着文字之处领悟作家的弦外之音。这种寄实于虚,并兼用暗示和略写的手法,是《麦琪的礼物》所独具的。
以下是谷歌找到的英文评论:
Jim and Doller, though they are only the small potatoes who live in the lower classes, they never lost their fervency to their lives and love each other deeply, penury is so insignificant when it is in this warm sentiment. At the Christmas' Eve, they were still thinking about the presents they should give to each other, how romantic! Even though it seemed that these presents is no longer useful, they have been the most costful one in the world, like a sincere love to each other. March is a bright man, the most bright man, because he is a bright man, his presents are also bright presents. How ever our Jim and Doller, they immolated their most precious thins for another unadvisably. But let's say the last word to the current bright people, among all the people who gave presents those two was the most bright. Among all the people who not onil give but also receive, those two was also the most bright. Wherever they are the most bright. They give each other a invaluable thing with their loveness heart. However this invaluable thing, any of the person who always thinks he is the most bright or richest could has it, and couldn't give either. Christmas Day is coming now, dear friends, are ready?
英文评论:"It is not surprising that 'The Gift of the Magi' still enjoys such widespread fame, for in this trite little tale of mutual self-sacrifice between husband and wife, O. Henry crystallized dramatically what the world in all its stored-up wisdom knows to be of fundamental value in ordinary family life. Unselfish love shared, regardless of the attendant difficulties or distractions--this is the idea repeatedly implied as a criterion in his fictional treatment of domestic affairs. If such love is present, life can be a great adventure transcending all drabness; if it is absent, nothing else can take its place....O. Henry wrote few stories of ordinary family life that approach in tenderness and universal appeal the qualities found in 'The Gift of the Magi'
by Current-Garcia
以下是摘自新浪博客《麦琪的礼物》英文读后感
《Impression of "The Gift of the Magi"》
It's a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"
is meant to be savored.
Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But I'm so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.
It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didn't changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfather's pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing she'd cut it off.
It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isn't that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Its't absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they would't lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called 'Jim'and greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,they'd given the very best they had out of love.
"They are too foolish children in a flat,who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.But in a last word,to the wise of these days,let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?
I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years' natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.
Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.It's consideration,tolerance and respect.It's giving one's best to the other even it means sacrifice.It's affection which connects two persons' hearts,and it's reinforced by adversities.
Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.
