一本有趣好看而充满想象力的童话小说,讲述了穷孩子查理幸运拿到可以进入巧克力工厂参观的金券后,一系列的奇遇。 在书中可以看到,小查理和他的家里人过的生活虽然贫穷,可他们深深地懂得爱,这维持了他们除生活外的一切满足感,看完如果意犹未尽,还可以看看同名电影。

这本便是同名电影的原著小说,它讲述了一个单纯美好的故事,里面有美好的田园风光和校园生活,还有属于布莱斯和朱莉的故事。小说要比电影有意思很多,相信你看的时候一定会笑出声来。叙述以男孩和女孩视角的章节交错进行,画面感很强。

⑵ 推荐几部有趣的英文小说,人物少一点,情节简单一点,便于复述总结和记忆的,谢谢 !
你可以先读<<哈利波特>> (Harry Potter) 系列丛书。作者文笔非常好,而故事情节也不会太难懂。现在全书共分为六部, 分别是:
1) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 或 Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
2) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
你如果真要读的话应该按顺序读。
<<秘密花园>> (The Secret Garden) 也应该很好,不过我没读过。
<<基督山伯爵>> (The Count of Monte Cristo) 和 <<汤姆叔叔的小屋>> (Uncle Tom's Cabin) 这一类的古典名著小说读起来可能会很难,不过许多英文文学网站上都有它们的英文版,不用你到书店里去买.
⑶ 有什么英语短篇小说推荐
1. “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” Flannery O’Connor
Few short stories have stuck with us as much as this one, which is probably O'Connor's most famous work — and with good reason. The Misfit is one of the most alarming serial killers we've ever met, all the more so for his politeness, and the story’s moral is so striking and terrifying that — whether you subscribe to the religious undertones or not — a reader is likely to finish and begin to reexamine their entire existence. Or at least we did, the first time we read it.
《好人难寻》这篇小说是奥康纳最为著名的作品,很少有其他短篇小说能像这篇一样给我们带来震撼。无论你是否能明了宗教般的潜在含义,看完这篇小说读者都会开始或是结束对存在的检视。
2. “The School,” Donald Barthelme
This story is very short, but pretty much perfect in every way. Though Barthelme is known for his playful, post modern style, we admire him for his ability to shape a world so clearly from so few words, chosen expertly. Barthelme never over explains, never uses one syllable too many, but effortlessly leads the reader right where he wants her to be. It's funny, it's absurdist, it's sad, it's enormous even in its smallness. It may be this writer’s favorite story of all time. You should read it.
这篇小说很短,但是堪称完美。巴塞尔姆的优秀就在于他能用精选的极少几个文字就为我们叙述了一个世界。他很少过多地解释,就把读者带到了他想要你去地方。
3. “In The Penal Colony,” Franz Kafka
Kafka called this one his“dirty story,”and thought it imperfect, but it's one of our favorites of his (though we also recommend “The Hunger Artist”and“A Country Doctor”). It's so obviously a story about writing, in some ultimate way — a machine punishes its victims by writing on them over and over until their bodies give out — but its as if, while the body is the source of every problem in the tale, every weakness, it is also the only place where true knowledge can be translated.
卡夫卡称自己的这篇小说是一个“很脏的故事”,认为并不完美,但是这个短篇确实我们的最爱之一。在小说中,我们可以体会到,身体是一切问题和弱点的根源,但身体也是唯一能转化真知的地方。
4. “Signs and Symbols,”Vladimir Nabokov
Another short one, we revere this story for its ability to turn every tiny detail into a portentous disaster, not to mention the fact that it's penned in Nabokov's effortlessly gorgeous, silvery prose. An old Jewish couple goes to visit their son in the mental hospital, only to be turned away because he has attempted to kill himself. And that's it, really. They go home and look though a photo album, eat some jam. The phonerings. But the whole thing is, perhaps, both a comment on the nature of insanity and the nature of the short story itself, with all its rules and strangeness and banality. And all its symbols, of course.
我们喜欢这篇小说的原因就在于,这个故事有能力把每个细微的细节瞬间变为一场灾难,而Nabokov在写这篇小说用的是轻松华丽水银泻地般的散文风格。
5. “Gooseberries,” Anton Chekhov
Chekhov's stories are indisputably among the greats, and this one, written rather late, is one of our favorites. Chekhov probes at both the frailty and the worth of humanity, not to mention the natureof life, both for the fortunate and the unfortunate. But like most of Chekhov's stories, there's no clear moral, there's no obvious takeaway. Some men sit around and discuss their thoughts, and we listen, mulling over the subtleties for ourselves.
契科夫的小说无疑是最伟大的作品之一,而这篇是我们的最爱。这篇小说像他的其他小说一样,没有清晰的道德标准,我们只是静静地看着几个人围坐着,讨论他们的思想。
6. “Sea Oak,” George Saunders
“Sea Oak” is Saunders's favorite of his own stories, we've heard, so because we find it so hard to choose among them, we've included it here on his own recommendation. Absurdist and satirical, and including at least one zombie shouting at her housemates to get laid, it's a weird one. But it's also concerned with placelessness, with family, with poverty, and like all of Saunders's stories, has a good, thumping heart under all that darkness and fun-poking.
这部小说是桑德斯最为喜爱的一步短篇,这也是我们听说的。因为我们很难做出选择,因此就把他自己的推介放在了这里。这部小说充满了荒诞和讽刺,但是也关心家庭和贫穷等问题。像他的其他小说一样,在黑暗和取笑中,也暗含着美好和快乐。
7. “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” Ursula K. LeGuin
LeGuin's parabolic tale, which won the Hugo Award for best short story in 1974, is a weird, spacious story about a city that seems to be a utopia — except for its one flaw, the single child that must always be kept in darkness and wretched misery so that the others may all live happily. Most of the citizens eventually accept this, but some do not, and silently leave the city, vanishing into the world around. Strange but pointed, Le Guin is a master of her genre.
勒古这部寓言般的短篇小说获得过1974年的“雨果奖”,是关于一个类似乌托邦的城市的荒诞又宏大的故事。
8. “The Veldt,” Ray Bradbury
This tale, from one of the greatest science fiction writers in history, is deliciously wicked. Though it was written in 1950, this kind of story — of children driven mad by want, of technology turning on its masters — will never get old. Until technology actually turns on us, that is. Then we probably won't want to hear about it.
布莱伯利作为历史上最富盛名的科幻小说家,这篇小说也是通过精心编写的。
9. “The Bear Came Over the Mountain,” Alice Munro
The undisputed queen of the short story, Alice Munro’s work is stark and often heartbreakingly raw, and this story of memory loss and the aching tenderness of human interaction is no different. Fun fact: this story was adapted into the film “Away from Her”, starring Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent.
门罗是毫无争议的短篇小说女王,她的作品有一种朴实风格,常常带着心跳般的粗犷,这篇关于丧失记忆以及人类互动中的痛苦和柔弱的小说也不例外。
10. “The Nose,” Nikolai Gogol
Gogol might be the oldest writer on this list, but he’s also one of the weirdest — in a good way. Nabokov once wrote, “In Gogol…the absurd central character belongs to the absurd world around him but, pathetically and tragically, attempts to struggle out of it into the world of humans — and dies in despair.” What else can an absurd noseless man do, after all?
果戈里应该是这个书单上最久远的作家了,但是他也是最荒诞的小说家之一。纳博科夫曾近这样写道:“在果戈里的作品中,荒诞的人物属于他周围荒诞的世界,但是却可怜兮兮且悲惨地要逃离他的世界,最终死于绝望”。
⑷ 有哪些好看的短篇英文小说
《了不起的盖茨比》
作者简介:弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德,美国小说家,年轻时试写过剧本。1920年出版了长篇小说《人间天堂》,从此出了名,小说出版后他与泽尔达结婚。1925年《了不起的盖茨比》问世,奠定了他在现代美国文学史上的地位,成了20年代“爵士时代”的发言人和“迷惘的一代”的代表作家之一。
内容简介:20世纪20年代的美国,空气里弥漫着欢歌与纵饮的气息。一个偶然的机会,穷职员尼克闯人了挥金如土的大富翁盖茨比隐秘的世界,惊讶地发现,他内心惟一的牵绊竟是河对岸那盏小小的绿灯——-灯影婆娑中,住着他心爱的黛西。然而,冰冷的现实容不下飘渺的梦,到头来,盖茨比心中的女神只不过是凡尘俗世的物质女郎。当一切真相大白,盖茨比的悲剧人生亦如烟花般,璀璨只是一瞬,幻灭才是永恒。
推荐理由:一阕华丽的“爵士时代”的挽歌,在菲茨杰拉德笔下,如诗如梦,在美国当代文学史上留下了墨色浓重的印痕。20世纪末,美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说,《了不起的盖茨比》高居第二位,傲然跻身当代经典行列。
