外國短篇小說英文
Ⅰ 外國的小說,短篇的,短一點
馬克吐溫的短篇小說諷刺幽默,傑克倫敦的短篇小說充滿原始生命力,還有海明威的《老人與海》有哲學意義。看英文的小說最好看那些流傳廣的用最正宗英文寫的本土作家的作品。
Ⅱ 外國短篇小說推薦(上)
1薩基《敞開著的窗戶》
薩基是英國短篇小說家,其作品以構思奇妙、出人意料著稱。《敞開著的窗戶》篇幅極短,卻巧妙地渲染了一種詭異的氣氛,在結尾猛地揭開謎團,令人哭笑不得又感到合情合理,正是歐亨利式的典型結局。
2 雅各布斯《猴爪》
我一向愛讀帶有一些恐怖色彩的驚險小說,《猴爪》正是此類小說中的傑作。對著猴爪許願,你的願望一定可以實現——但實現的方式一定讓你痛不欲生。這不是上帝的好意,而是魔鬼的饋贈。《猴爪》劇情緊湊,層層推進,不愧是恐怖詭異小說中的典範。
3 毛姆《午餐》
毛姆,英國小說家,我們大多熟知他的長篇小說《月亮與六便士》。他擅長用極其犀利的筆觸揭露人性,剖析人心。《午餐》是一篇很有趣味的短篇小說,我們大概也能從生活中見到與文中女人類似的人。結尾一句「今天她體重三百磅」令人忍不住發笑也忍不住叫絕。
4 都德《柏林之圍》
都德,法國作家,他的《最後一課》入選了中學課文,非常經典,就不在這里推薦了。《柏林之圍》是他的另一名篇,小說塑造了一個高尚、愛國的老戰士形象,他的結局令人尤感悲痛惋惜。
5 茨威格《看不見的珍藏》
我非常喜歡茨威格的短篇小說。他以心理描寫著稱,長段的心理描寫不僅不會使人厭煩,反而極其細膩,極具感染力。這篇《看不見的珍藏》構思奇妙,細節描寫尤其打動人心,「收藏家是幸福的人」,誠然不假。
6 愛倫坡 《泄密的心》
愛倫坡是美國哥特式小說和偵探小說的創始人。他的作品在描寫超自然的恐怖、神秘和死亡上尤其出色。如果你也對這類題材感興趣的話,那麼一定不能錯過他的短篇、《泄密的心》毫無疑問是一篇壓抑驚悚又瘋狂的小說,極具愛倫坡式特色。
Ⅲ 經典外國文學短篇小說
羊脂球,項鏈,變色龍,套中人,野性的呼喚,白牙,百萬英鎊,陰謀與愛情
Ⅳ 求適合高中生讀的英文小說
只說我自己看過的吧。我也比較喜歡看現代英文小說多些。
《小公主》---說的是一個小孤兒的故事,兒童文學。語言還算簡單。我記憶中覺得有點長(可能是我第一個啃下的英文原著吧)。目前已改編成電影。(好像故事背景是近代的英國或法國)
《瓶中信》--有點老的純愛小說,相當有名,中篇小說。。。。。語言依然簡單,但是有人評論說語言很優美。內容不瓊瑤。中年離婚女人和喪妻男人的因為一個漂流瓶引發的愛情故事。有電影的~(ps:故事時間發生的是現代的美國)
《三十九級台階》--語言還算簡單,有一些生詞,中篇小說。以世界大戰為(忘記是一戰還是二戰了)背景的偵探小說。我認為對那段歷史不熟悉是我最主要的閱讀障礙。也電影化了。
《夏洛特的網》--語言很簡單的,因為是兒童讀物嘛,篇幅不長,大概算短篇小說。豬和蜘蛛的友情,不過貴在內容很好。依然給力的電影化了。
《動物農庄》--偏政治題材的一部小說,中短篇的長度。作者虛構了一個農庄動物起義以後開始共產主義的故事。因為小說題材的嚴肅性給作者帶來了很高的聲望。嗯,其實還蠻好看的。生詞不多。
《京華煙雲》--林語堂原著(英文版)長篇小說,我沒有看完的小說,看了一半,相當精彩呢。已電視劇化了。背景是中華大陸清末民國初的家族故事。有一定量生詞,書也很有點厚度,出場人物眾多。。。。。
《小王子》、《老人與海》--如雷貫耳的文,我也不能免俗了,推薦理由,文字清新朴實,表達的意義卻能做櫻那麼豐富,真讓人驚奇。
以上的一些是我覺得還可以的電子書格式的,網上隨便都能搜索到的。(京華煙雲的可能少點)
------------------------------------------------
實體書部分
偏愛讀實體書,但是好多已經出版的實體書都是經典小說,古典小說,我有那麼一點興趣缺缺阿。
《簡。薩默斯的日記》--書荒時看的一本書,哎,說的是孀居中年女性和孤獨的老女人的友誼。。。。。。。因為很多都是些心理描寫,╮(╯▽╰)╭,我興趣不大,中途放棄。。。。。。其實文字還是碰胡友比較簡單優美的,主要是我興笑槐趣不大,也算是現代小說中比較有名的吧。
剩下的一些,我都是從圖書館搞到的現代小說,非名著,語言比較簡單,敘事性比較強,篇幅很短。分別有兩個系列我比較喜歡。
(1)南師——康乃馨英語文庫(據說是面向初中生的。。。。。。。我雷。。。。。面對這套書回想一下,我初中的詞彙量真小阿)
共7本書,相對都比較短,在50-200頁左右,全英文讀本無中文翻譯。
《寶嘉康蒂》、《愛犬尋覓記》、《父輩的土地》、《可樂和吻》、《情系澳洲》(我個人認為最好看的一本)、《淘金路上》、《穆爾提默的塗鴉》。
(2)外研社·劍橋英語原創讀物(好吧,總算有說是除了初中生也面向高中生,額,依然看得津津有味)
分級讀物。這套的書更多些。題材更現代一點,更廣泛,情節更精彩一點。有探險,偵探,愛情,科幻。高分級的讀物相對篇幅也比較長。可惜我這里的圖書館收錄的不全,目前我也只能看到大部分的小說而已。
冰凍的比薩、野獸傳說、洛根的選擇、阿姆斯特丹匪幫、叢林愛情故事、女督察洛根、永不離分、戰爭孤兒、出賣
-------------------------
另外實體書的話,有些出版社還出版了一些由老外縮寫的名著。其實還是有看頭的。篇幅也相對較短小,易讀。
------------------------
最後還有看看漫畫,我喜歡看《丁丁歷險記》(The Adventure of Tintin)。主要是字很少,哈哈。有出系列動畫片。
另外,歐美的漫畫取材也很眾多,有一部漫畫《遠山的棄兒》(Freaks Of The Heartland),說了一個專出怪胎的村莊中兄弟倆的故事,故事很陰暗,倒也很溫情。很有點深度的。。。。。
如果喜歡日漫,可以上網看日漫英文版。。。。。。。喜歡歐美漫也可以上網搜歐美漫(像《英雄》、《超人》、《蝙蝠俠》、《蜘蛛俠》都可以找到的)
Ⅳ 求好看的英文小說,要txt的
失物之書
這是一個糅合童話、驚悚、恐怖元素、寓言體例和成長的故事,這部陰森、殘酷、華麗、驚心動魄的成人童話帶讀者一起思考了愛與嫉妒、恐懼和勇氣的微妙關系,以及如何有尊嚴地面對人生。

Ⅵ 求英語短篇故事!!!(對話多一點的)
A(Canadian tourist): Excuse me,sir, could you show me the way to the Holiday Inn? I think I get lost.
B (You): sure. I am on my way there, too.Just follow me.
A: Thank you so much.
B: You are welcome. Where are you from?
A: I am from Canada. Have you ever been there?
B: No. But I know it is a beautiful country, big and peaceful. I wish I could visit there one day.
A: Hope your wish could come true.
B: Thank you. Is it the first time you came to China?
A: Yes, China is a beautiful country, too.I love the Chinese food so much.
B: I hope you have a great time here. Here we are. You can see Holiday Inn right across the street. My school is two blocks down.
A: Thank you so much for your help.
B: You are welcome. Enjoy your trip in China. Bye!
A: Bye!
天天坐公共汽車,有沒有想過要了解一下公交車上的英語該怎麼說?不急,我們先來看一段發生老外公車上的對話:
Bus driver: Move to the rear of the bus, please. There're plenty of seats in the rear.
Daisy: How much is the fare, please?
Bus driver: Thirty cents. Drop it in the box.
Daisy: Does this bus go to Washington Park?
Bus driver: Take Bus No. 9. This is No. 6.
Daisy: But somebody told me this is the right bus. I'm going to Park Avenue.
Bus driver: This is the right bus. I'll let you off when we get there.
Daisy: Thanks a lot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Willie: I'd like a transfer to the 66th street cross-town bus. How much is the fare?
Bus driver: (Giving him a transfer.) There's no charge for transfers.
Willie: Is it good on any crosstown bus or only on the 66th street crosstown?
Bus driver: That transfer is only good on the 66th street bus.
Willie: I'm going to First Avenue. Is 66th Street my best way to get there?
Bus driver: Yes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Judy: Does this bus go to Washington Square?
Bus driver: No, take Bus No. 10 across the street.
Judy: Thank you.
Notes:
1. Move to the rear of the bus
每次上車的時候都會聽到售票員說:「往後走,往後走,後面有座呢!」當然了,口氣可沒有上面對話中的那位老外司機那麼客氣。這個「往後走」就是「Move to the rear of the bus」了。Rear 這個詞的意思是「後面、背面」,那「In (the) rear of」就是指「在……後面」了。
2. 不管是刷卡還是買票,這個坐車的費用都可以說成是fare。如果想問「到……多少錢」,可以這樣問:I'd like to go to... (目的地). How much is the fare?
3. Drop it in the box.
如果要讓你無人售票汽車上,告訴外國人把錢扔進投幣箱該怎麼說?Drop 1 yuan or 2 yuan in the box. 千萬不要小看英語中小詞的威力,在外國人的日常口語中經常會用的

Ⅶ 誰能介紹幾本英語小說給我看看
建議不要看英文名著,因為那些名著里的單詞和語法都十分難懂,除非是研究英國文學的人士。
如果是短篇英文小說,建議看歐·亨利的短篇和傑克·倫敦的,都是短篇英文小說。
推薦《麥琪的禮物》、《最後一片葉子》
還有《曠野的呼喚》、《熱愛生命》
另外推薦《納尼亞傳奇》,故事不是很長,但整篇文章通俗易懂,適合4-6級英文水平。
本人以英文專業學生的身份提出建議。
Ⅷ 介紹一些英文小說給我看
恐怖小說不知道愛不愛看,Steven King的東西用詞簡單易懂,還有懸疑,讀起來很有一口氣到底的感覺,就是讀完了會怕;同類的Bentley Little,可惜有些血腥暴力,我實在喜歡他不起來.
短些的像Jack O'London的經典短篇,極其精練,但結構很縝密,且讀完了會滿多感慨.
我曾經很愛的中篇有The Call of the Wild,強烈推薦.
詞彙量比較大點的話不妨考慮Dan Brown的東東,前一陣子超熱的Da Vinci Code,書比電影好看太多! 他之前寫的Digital Fortress還有Angels & Demons也很好看.
如果喜歡玄幻類的東西不妨讀Harry Potter系列吧,比Lord of the Rings好讀許多,後者有些艱澀了,彷彿外國人讀西遊記般的感覺.
如果喜歡營養多一些的東西,而且願意慢慢咀嚼的話,推薦The Unbearable Lightness of Being,跟一個睿智老者交流的感覺,大有裨益.他的The Book of Laughter of Forgetting也值得一讀,很是溫暖.朋友有推薦過他的Life is Elsewhere,還沒來得及拜讀.
經典的我愛Jane Austin的Pride and Prejudice, Persuation...女生都太讀.
還留著些純潔的童心的話,Waterbabies,The Nutcracker都很美.
