❸ 適合初學者看的英文小說
一、Charlie and the Chocolate Factory《查理和他的克工廠》
一本有趣好看而充滿想像力的童話小說,講述了窮孩子查理幸運拿到可以進入巧克力工廠參觀的金券後,一系列的奇遇。 在書中可以看到,小查理和他的家裡人過的生活雖然貧窮,可他們深深地懂得愛,這維持了他們除生活外的一切滿足感,看完如果意猶未盡,還可以看看同名電影。
二、The wonderful wizard of Oz《綠野仙蹤》
故事講述了小蘿莉多蘿西被大風吹到一個奇異國度(奧茲國)的奇遇記。這個可愛的小故事里有一個善良的小蘿莉,一個稻草人,一個鐵皮機器人與一個獅子。短小精悍,沒什麼難度,易讀易懂,卻又引人入勝。
三、Flipped《怦然心動》
這本便是同名電影的原著小說,它講述了一個單純美好的故事,裡面有美好的田園風光和校園生活,還有屬於布萊斯和朱莉的故事。小說要比電影有意思很多,相信你看的時候一定會笑出聲來。敘述以男孩和女孩視角的章節交錯進行,畫面感很強。

❹ 英國的短篇小說,有哪些值得推薦
個人推薦下英國著名小說家狄更斯的《信號員》吧,也是英國十大名著之一吧。這個小說讀完特別讓人深思,主要是講小鎮一個信號員總能預測災難的東西成為現實。他成了唯一一個災難的預測者。知道最後一次預測他也成為犧牲者。也表現了作者對底層人民悲慘命運不能改變的悲憫。看完之後我覺得引用波波的話吧:人生中%99的時間可能都是不幸的但是我們要善於發現其中%1的萬幸,好好珍惜現在的每一天吧。

《霍比特人》
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
在地底的洞府中住著一個霍比特人。不是個骯臟潮濕,滿是蟲子和淤泥氣味的洞穴,也不是個乾燥、光禿,啥都沒有的沙洞,既沒地方坐,也沒東西吃;霍比特人的洞府,意味著舒舒服服。——J.R.R.托爾金(J.R.R. Tolkien) 《霍比特人》(The Hobbit,1937)
10 Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
《哈克貝利·費恩歷險記》
You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly.
如果你沒讀過一本名為《湯姆索亞歷險記》的書,你就不會認識我;不過沒關系。那本書是馬克·吐溫先生寫的,他說的大部分都是真話。——馬克·吐溫(Mark Twain) 《哈克貝利·費恩歷險記》(Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,1884)
11 Breakfast of Champions
《冠軍的早餐》
This is a tale of a meeting of two lonesome, skinny, fairly old white men on a planet which was dying fast.

13 A Tale of Two Cities
《雙城記》
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of increlity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
那是最好的時代,那是最壞的時代,那是智慧的歲月,那是愚昧的歲月,那是信仰的時期,那是懷疑的時期,那是光明的季節,那是黑暗的季節,那是希望的春天,那是失望的冬天,我們擁有眼前的一切,我們眼前一無所有,我們都在直奔天堂,我們都在直奔反方向——簡而言之,那段時期充其量跟現在不相上下,某些最喧囂的權威堅稱,不管它是正是邪,都只用形容詞最高級來比照。——查爾斯·狄更斯(Charles Dickens) 《雙城記》(A Tale of Two Cities,1859)
14 The Invisible Man
《隱形人》
The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking as it seemed from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand.
寒冬二月的一天,冒著刺骨的寒風和漫天飛舞的雪花,一個陌生人早早地到來。這是今年最後一場雪。他從頭到腳包裹嚴實,戴著厚手套的手提著個小小的黑色旅行箱,像是從布蘭勃赫斯特火車站步行走過來的。——赫伯特·喬治·威爾斯(H. G. Wells ) 《隱形人》(The Invisible Man,1897)
15 The Catcher in the Rye
《麥田裡的守望者》
If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
你要是真想聽我說,很可能你頭一件想知道的事就是我在哪出生,我倒霉的童年如何度過,父母在生我之前忙活什麼,以及所有大衛科波菲爾式的廢話,但跟你說實話,我不想細談。——傑羅姆·大衛·塞林格( J. D. Salinger) 《麥田裡的守望者》(The Catcher in the Rye,1951)
16 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
《銀河系漫遊指南》
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
—顆小小的名不經傳的黃色太陽,位於銀河系西螺旋臂的末端那片未被標注的閉塞之處。一顆完全無足輕重的藍綠色小行星,運行在距它大約9800萬英里的軌道上。這顆行星上由猿演化而來的生命形式原始得令人吃驚,他們仍然認為電子表是個相當精妙的點子。——道格拉斯·亞當斯(Douglas Adams) 《銀河系漫遊指南》(The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,1979)
17 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
《賭城風情畫/懼恨拉斯維加斯》
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.

18 To Kill a Mockingbird
《殺死一隻知更鳥》
When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury.
❻ 介紹幾部經典英文短篇小說
(少年維特的煩惱),我正在看,可能不算短篇吧。但是它的英文我覺得還比較容易好理解。
❼ 有什麼英語短篇小說推薦
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.
《好人難尋》這篇小說是奧康納最為著名的作品,很少有其他短篇小說能像這篇一樣給我們帶來震撼。無論你是否能明了宗教般的潛在含義,看完這篇小說讀者都會開始或是結束對存在的檢視。
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.
這篇小說很短,但是堪稱完美。巴塞爾姆的優秀就在於他能用精選的極少幾個文字就為我們敘述了一個世界。他很少過多地解釋,就把讀者帶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.
卡夫卡稱自己的這篇小說是一個「很臟的故事」,認為並不完美,但是這個短篇確實我們的最愛之一。在小說中,我們可以體會到,身體是一切問題和弱點的根源,但身體也是唯一能轉化真知的地方。
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.
我們喜歡這篇小說的原因就在於,這個故事有能力把每個細微的細節瞬間變為一場災難,而Nabokov在寫這篇小說用的是輕松華麗水銀瀉地般的散文風格。
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.
契科夫的小說無疑是最偉大的作品之一,而這篇是我們的最愛。這篇小說像他的其他小說一樣,沒有清晰的道德標准,我們只是靜靜地看著幾個人圍坐著,討論他們的思想。
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.
這部小說是桑德斯最為喜愛的一步短篇,這也是我們聽說的。因為我們很難做出選擇,因此就把他自己的推介放在了這里。這部小說充滿了荒誕和諷刺,但是也關心家庭和貧窮等問題。像他的其他小說一樣,在黑暗和取笑中,也暗含著美好和快樂。
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.
勒古這部寓言般的短篇小說獲得過1974年的「雨果獎」,是關於一個類似烏托邦的城市的荒誕又宏大的故事。
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.
布萊伯利作為歷史上最富盛名的科幻小說家,這篇小說也是通過精心編寫的。
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.
門羅是毫無爭議的短篇小說女王,她的作品有一種朴實風格,常常帶著心跳般的粗獷,這篇關於喪失記憶以及人類互動中的痛苦和柔弱的小說也不例外。
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?
果戈里應該是這個書單上最久遠的作家了,但是他也是最荒誕的小說家之一。納博科夫曾近這樣寫道:「在果戈里的作品中,荒誕的人物屬於他周圍荒誕的世界,但是卻可憐兮兮且悲慘地要逃離他的世界,最終死於絕望」。
