A. 英文短篇小說《the blue jar》(Isak Dinesen的)中文翻譯。
英國一位富有的老先生,年輕時任過內閣大臣,也當選過議會議員;如今年紀大了,無欲無求,獨愛搜藏青瓷老古董。為此他偕同女兒海琳娜,不惜遠渡重洋到波斯,日本還有中國尋覓愛物。一個寂靜之夜,這對父女坐的輪船進入中國海域時意外失火了。漆黑和混亂之中,別的乘客很快轉移到救生船中,海琳娜卻還在著火的船上,就這樣與老父親斷了聯系。等她逃上甲板,整艘船已被燒毀得差不多了,眼看就要將她葬身火海。這時一位年輕的英國水手出現了,二話不說背起她,安全登上最後那隻被逃生者們慌亂之下遺忘的救生船。黑暗的海面泛起大片磷光,猶如大火從四面八方涌來,追趕吞噬著這兩個亡命者。彼時,二人仰起頭,一顆流星劃過夜空,好像瞬間就要落入他們船里一樣。整整九天過去,兩人才被救上一條荷蘭商船,最後總算回到了英國。
原以為女兒早已葬身火海的老爵士這會是喜極而泣,不能自已。為了讓身心受難的女兒盡早康復,老先生匆匆將她安頓在一個溫泉療養勝地。他還想到,萬一這個在航海業謀生的年輕水手大嘴巴,全世界都會知道海倫娜和一個陌生男人孤男寡女在海上漂了九天,這肯定會讓女兒很不開心。於是老爵士給了水手一大筆錢,並讓他承諾只在另一個半球繼續航海,永遠不再回英國。老先生說,這不正是好人做到底嗎?
海倫娜身體恢復得差不多時,旁人給她講王宮和家族的動態,最後還說了那個救她的年輕水手永遠離開英國的來龍去脈,他們發現海倫娜精神上依舊受那次大難折磨著,而且她變得對世間一切事都不在乎了。她不想回到父親大庄園的城堡,也不想去宮里,或游覽任何一個歐洲怡人小鎮。她唯一想要做的事就是和父親以前一樣,去搜集珍稀青瓷。於是海琳娜開始航海旅行,從一個國家到另一個國家,這次是父親一直陪在左右。
尋找青瓷時,海琳娜跟賣瓷器的人說,她正在找一種特別的藍色,願意為之付出任何代價。她買過數千隻青瓷罐和瓷碗,但過一段時間就擱到一旁,嘆道:「唉,這不是我想要的那種藍呢。」 陪她航行多年的父親勸道:也許根本就沒有這種顏色存在吧。「天啊,爸爸,你怎能說這種喪氣話呢?曾幾何時我們的世界一切都是藍藍的,肯定會有那麼一些遺留下來啊。」海琳娜十分堅定地說。
遠在英國的兩位姑媽都懇求外甥女回家,並要給她介紹好人家。但海琳娜回答說:「不不不,我必須去航行。親愛的姑姑啊,你們一定都知道,有學之士宣揚大海是有底的,那是謬論胡說。正好相反,大自然中最高貴的海水,肯定是貫通大地的,所以我們的地球實際上像一個肥皂泡般浮在宇宙之中。而在另一個半球有這么一艘船航行著,我的船必須跟它齊驅並駕。在深海之中,兩只船像是彼此的倒影。我乘的船正下方就是前面所說的那艘船,它就在地球的另一面行駛著。你們從沒見過會有一條很大很大的魚在船底之下,如一個暗黑的影子在海里隨船而行吧。但我們這兩艘船恰恰就是這樣,不管我坐的船在地球大部分區域穿行到哪,另一個半球那隻船就像影子一樣,被牽引著來回移動,這和潮水在月亮的引力下漲起退去是差不多的道理。如果我停止航行,那些靠航海謀生的出身不好的水手怎麼辦?」 海琳娜還說:「我得告訴你們一個秘密,在最後的最後,我坐的船會下沉,直到地球中心,另一隻船也會在同一時間沉下來,就如通常人們說的沉沒。但我可以向你們保證,在海里沒有你上我下,因為在世界的最中心,我們兩只船會相遇在一起。
一年又一年過去,老爵士作古了,海倫娜也變成失聰的老太太,卻未曾停止航行。大清帝國的頤和園被入侵洗劫後,有位商人給她帶來了一個古老的青瓷罐。一看到它海琳娜就發出一聲可怕的尖叫:「就是它!」她哭喊著:「我總算找到了!這是真正的藍!瞧,它真讓人暈眩!天啊,它清新得像一陣柔美的微風,又深邃得好如一個玄妙的秘密,還圓潤得像我說過的什麼來著?」海琳娜雙手顫顫巍巍,將瓷罐捧入懷里,靜靜凝思著,六個小時就這么過去了。其後她對私人醫生和女伴說:「現在我可以死去了。到時請把我的心取出來,安放在這個青瓷罐里,那樣一切都回到最初的模樣。我的世界會化作藍色,在這個純藍天地的最中心,我的心純潔而自由,還會溫柔地跳動,像輪船航海的尾波輕輕哼唱,像槳葉劃動的水滴盈盈滑落。」一小會兒後她問到:「相信只要懷著耐心,一切美好都能重現——這不是一件很杏糊的事嗎?」 不久之後,老太太離開了人世。

C. 百萬英鎊讀後感英文200帶翻譯
我讀了馬克·吐溫的短篇小說《百萬英鎊》這部作品,這篇文章對「金錢就是一切」和「金錢是萬能的」的想法進行了諷刺。
《百萬英鎊》是講一個貧窮、誠實的人,收到一對兄弟的信,心裏面有一百萬英鎊。原來是這對兄弟打賭,賭如果一個貧窮、誠實的人得到了一百萬英鎊,會怎麼樣。哥哥賭他一定會被捕,或者被餓死;弟弟賭那個人會靠那張一百萬英鎊生活三十天。他們把一百萬英鎊給了這個人,出國呆了三十天。沒想到這段時間里,人們對這位突然暴富的富翁不停地拉攏關系,干什麼都是免費的,每個人都討好他,他的地位一直提升到了除一切王室以外的公爵之上。他還得到了一位好妻子和三萬英鎊的銀行利息。還從兩兄弟那裡得到了一份很好的工作。
看到這里,我想到:人們討好他,不就是因為他的錢多,人們太看重錢嗎?
錢不是一切,不是萬能的!
我的學習成績不是很好,用錢是買不到知識,不能讓我每次考試考滿分的。
金錢在知識面前還是很無力的,我一定要好好學習,才能獲得知識,這是金錢不能的。
D. 關於「友誼」的短篇英文小說
Friendship is indispensable to people's life. A man without friends is an angel without wings, whose life will suffer in the long tolerance of loneliness and depression. Friendship is the mother of our psyche, who'll warm her kid when hurt occurs. We have much to share with our friends in life, perplexity, excitement, bitterness etc. Alas, it's magnificent to maintain a genuine friendship.
It takes many special qualities to make a friend. Understanding should come first. Only when we get a better understanding of each other can we gain an authentic and meaningful friendship. We may find our hobbies of common interests. This feeling of affinity gets us closer and closer.
It also takes a special kind of love that seems to know no end. Never hesitate to show your heartfelt care and kindness to your friend when he/she is in trouble. Love is not selfish. Love is endowed by God that we should treasure all our life.
Tolerance is the third essential part in friendship. We are absolutely different persons. This indivial distinction may cause conflict between us in every aspect of our life. Don't immerse ourself in this infliction too long. Try to tolerant his/her in an introspective mood. Saints are not perfect, let alone those ordinary people like us. Afterwards, we should get a good communication. Never shy to confess.
Understanding, love and tolerance are the first three essences that comes to an authentic friendship. Other qualities are also concerned such as thoughtfulness, trust and patience. Remember, friendship is your psyche's guard, treasure it
友誼是不可缺少的人們的生活。沒有朋友的人沒有翅膀的天使,他的生活將會受到在長期的寬容的孤獨和抑鬱。友誼是我們的母親心理,誰來溫暖自己孩子什麼時候傷害的發生。我們有很多一起分享我們的朋友在生活中,困惑,興奮,苦等。唉,它卻是很偉大的維持一個真正的友誼。
要用許多特殊性質為了結交新朋友。理解能先來。只有當我們更好的了解對方就會給我們帶來一個真正的和有意義的友誼。我們可能會發現共同利益的業余愛好。這種感覺的親和力讓我們越來越近。
它也需要一種特別的愛似乎知道沒有終點的。不要猶豫,盡管顯示你並給你的朋友的關心和體貼。當他/她有麻煩了。愛不是自私。愛是賦予上帝,我們應該珍惜一生。
寬容是第三中最重要的組成部分的友誼。我們完全不同的人。這個人的區別可能會引起沖突,在各方面我們生命中的一個大境界了。不要讓自己在這所施加的時間太長了。試著寬容他/她的在一個發人深省的心情。聖徒並不完美,更不用說那些一個像我們這樣的普通人。後來,我們應該好好溝通。不害羞的承認。
理解、愛和寬容三個基本要素是第一個是一個真正的友誼。其他的品質也對此表示關注,如體貼、信任和耐心。記住,友誼是心靈的後衛,珍惜它

Black Horse 黑駿馬
Jed got to the top of the mountain and sat down to rest. The July sun had made him hot.
傑德到了山頂,就坐下來休息。7月底太陽使他熱汗淋淋。
It had been a long walk to the top and he was tired. He knew the horse he was trying to capture could not be too far away. He looked at the mountain and the valleys below, searching footmarks left by the horse.
他走了很長一段路才到山頂的,所以感到渾身乏力。他知道他想方設法要逮住的那匹馬離此不會太遠。他察看折山上及下面的山谷,尋找著那匹馬留下的蹄印。
Then he saw the marks going down the other side of the mountain. He must capture the horse. He knew better men than he had tried. Tom Raglan, the best rancher in the state, had tried with the help of his cowboys.
這時,他看到在山的另一側,順坡而下有一行馬蹄印。他一定要逮住這匹馬。他知道曾有比他更有能耐的人嘗試過。州內最好的牧場主湯姆·拉格倫就曾經在他那幫牛仔的幫助下做過嘗試.
But they had not been able to capture it. It had gotten away from others, too. They all said it was too wild. It could not be captured.
但他們並沒有能逮住它,其他試圖去逮它的人也都失敗了,都讓它逃脫了。他們都說他太野,是不可能被逮住的。
After a slow, painful walk down the mountain, Jed came to a cool-looking river. He drank the clear water.順著山路向下,慢慢地、艱難地走了一段之後,傑德到達一條水看上去十分清澈的河邊,喝了幾口河水。
Further down the valley he saw the black horse. It stood under a tree out of the sun. Jed moved closer, then hid behind a tree to watch. It was the biggest and blackest and blackest he had ever seen.
接著又沿山谷向前走了一段,這是他看到了那匹黑馬,他站在一棵樹下遮太陽。傑德又走進了些,然後躲在一棵樹後觀察。這是他有生以來見過的最大、最黑的馬。
Jed knew all about horse. He had grown into a man caring for them. He had never earned more than '10 but he had dreams: If he could get a male and female house and 10 hectares of land, he could sell horses. That would be all the happiness Jed wanted.
傑德對馬了如指掌。他是一個從小與馬廝混、在馬背上長大的人。盡管他掙的錢從來沒有超過10美元,但他有自己的夢想:如果他能夠得到一匹公馬、一匹母馬和10公頃土地,他就可以養馬並以賣馬為生了。那就是傑德想要得到的全部幸福了。
Night came. The big black house moved from under the tree and began to eat grass near the river. Jed watched again. A few hours later, he found a soft place in the ground. He placed his head against an old fallen tree and slept.
夜幕降臨。那匹大黑馬從樹下走了出來,走到河邊開始吃草。傑德繼續觀察著。幾小時後,他在地上找了一塊柔軟的地方,將頭靠在一棵倒著的老樹上睡著了。
The next day he woke with the sun. His eyes searched for the horse, and there it was, grazing. Jed saw how it ate, then lifted its head and looked all around. It was the mark of the wild, always looking for hidden danger.
第二天日出時他醒了過來,馬上就用目光尋找那匹馬,還好,它就站在那裡,正吃著草呢。傑德看著它吃草,隨後又見它抬起頭,朝四周看看。這就是野馬的特徵:它們總是十分小心,不時地看看四周是否有什麼暗藏的危險。
Jed started to walk toward the horse. The horse stopped eating and looking at Jed. Jed's heart began to beat heavily. Men had said the horse was a killer. Still, he walked closer.
傑德開始慢慢向它走近。它停止吃草,看著傑德。傑德的心開始「咚咚」直跳。人們都說這馬是一個殺手,但他還是繼續向它靠近。
Fifteen meters away from the horse Jed stopped. The horse had lifted its front feet high in the air, then placed them heavily back on the ground. Jed moved closer. He talked to the horse in a soft voice.
在離它15米遠的地方,傑德停了下來。只見它高高的抬起前蹄,然後又重重的落回原地。傑德又走近了些。他開始柔聲跟它說話。
Then, with a loud scream, the horse turned and ran down the valley. Jed sank to the ground wet with excitement. He had done what no man had done.
接著,隨著一聲響亮的嘶鳴,這匹馬轉身順著山谷跑了下去。傑德卻因興奮而渾身大汗淋漓,倒在地上。他已經做了別人沒有做到的事兒.
He had almost touched the wild horse. The animal was not a killer. If it had been, Jed would be dead now.
他幾乎快要挨到這匹野馬了。它並不是一個殺手,如果它是的話,傑德現在已經沒命了。
For six days he followed the horse. He rested when the horse rested. Jed did not like the land they were in now. The sides of the valley were high and filled with big rocks. Few trees were around. And the bottom of the valley was soft and wet.
他一連跟蹤了這匹馬6天。只有馬歇的時候,他才歇。傑德不喜歡他現在所呆的地方。這山谷的兩側都很高,到處是大岩石,周圍沒有多少樹,而且谷底又軟又濕。
Jed watched the horse a while, and then lay down to sleep.
傑德又看了一會兒馬,隨後躺下來睡覺。
In the middle of the night, he was awakened by thunder and rain. He walked up the rocks until he found a dry hole, safe from the rain, and he slept again.
半夜十分,他被雷雨聲驚醒。他立刻沿著岩石向上走,直到找了一個可以蔽雨的乾燥的山洞,他再接著睡。
The next day was cold and wet. Heavy rains had softened the bottom of the valley. He followed the house most of the day. The wet valley was the only place it could walk now.
第二天又冷又濕。大雨已經泡軟了谷底的土壤。這一天他大部分時間都在跟著馬走。濕濕的山谷是現在它唯一可以行走的地方了。
The sides of the valley had gotten higher. Toward evening he saw it again. But this time there was fear in its face. He stopped and watched. The horse's nose was smelling the air. It smelled danger. It smelled danger.
越走,山谷兩側就顯得越高。臨近黃昏時分,他才又見到了它,但這次它的臉上出現了一種恐懼的神情。他停下來仔細觀察,只見馬鼻子在嗅著空氣,他聞到了危險的氣息。
Jed thought of wild animals, a wildcat(鏈接至同目錄下wildcat)or bear maybe. He pulled his knife from his pants. He looked among the rocks but saw nothing.
傑德想到是不是有什麼野獸,一隻豹貓,也可能是一隻熊。他從褲子里抽出刀,在岩石間四處看看,但什麼也沒有看見。
He began walking toward the horse. The wildcat could have been on either side of the valley. He walked slowly, trying to watch both sides at the same time.
他便向馬走過去。豹貓可能在山谷的某一側。他走得很慢,盡力同時看著兩側。
Slowly he came to the horse's side. Jed kept watching the rocks. If the cat was going to attack, it would do it now. He felt the excitement of danger.
慢慢地,他來到了馬身邊。傑德一直盯著那些岩石。豹貓如果要襲擊,它現在就會跳出來的。他感到既危險又興奮。
Suddenly the silence was broken. The black horse screamed loudly, a cry of fear. It began running down the wet valley.
突然,寂靜被打破了。黑駿馬大聲嘶叫起來,那是一種充滿恐懼的叫喊。隨後,它順著濕漉漉的山谷奔跑起來。
At the same time there was a heavy, deep noise from the rocks. Then it happened. Tons of wet earth and big rocks began moving down the sides of the mountain. The land itself was the enemy.
與此同時,岩石中傳出了一種沉重的、深沉的響聲。緊接著,事情就發生了。成噸成噸的濕土和大岩石開始從山坡兩側滾落下來。原來山地本身就是馬的敵人。
When the air became clear, Jed looked for the horse. In front of him were tons of the fallen earth. He could not see down the valley and could not see the horse.
當空氣恢復清新的時候,傑德立刻開始找馬。在他面前是滾落下來的成噸的泥土,他無法看到山谷的前方,也看不到馬。
He slowly climbed over the fallen rocks. On the other side was the horse, more frightened than ever. Its legs were stuck in the soft earth and it could not move. The more it struggled, the deeper it sank in the mud.
他慢慢地爬過那些落下來的岩石。馬在這個石土堆的另一邊,看上去比先前更加恐懼。它的腿陷入了軟土裡,動彈不得。 而它越掙扎,就在泥中陷的越深。
Jed walked toward the animal. Each step he took, the soft mud tried to suck him down, too. He walked on the grassy places harder than the mud.
傑德向它走過去。他每走一步都感到軟泥也在將他向下吸,而且在長草的地方走比在泥里走還要艱難。
When he got to the horse, it was in the mud up to his stomach. Now it could move only its head. Jed felt wildly happy when he touched the horse. 「Don't struggle and do not worry, Horse! I'll get you out!」
當他趕到馬身邊的時候,泥已經驗到了馬肚上,現在它只剩下頭部還能動彈。摸到馬,傑德感到欣喜若狂。「別掙扎,別擔心,馬兒!我會把你弄出來的!」
Suddenly he felt the horses teeth on his arm. He bit his lip to stop it from crying aloud. His free hand gently calmed the horse and slowly it let go. It pressed its nose against Jed's face. At last they were friends.
突然,他趕到馬的牙齒咬住了他的手臂。他咬住嘴唇,以防自己疼得叫出聲來。他用那隻沒被咬著的手輕撫馬身,使它平靜下來,慢慢地讓它松開了嘴。隨後,馬將鼻子貼在了傑德的臉上。最後,他們成了朋友。
Now Jed could go to work. He studied the problem carefully. He had no way to lift the big horse from the mud. Certainly his rope was not strong enough.
現在傑德可以開始忙活了。他仔細研究了這個問題。他沒有辦法將這么大的一匹馬從泥里拽出來,它的繩子顯然不夠結實。
He began to pull the mud away with his hands. But more mud fell into the hole he g. He ran to the rocks that had fallen down the mountain. He took off his shirt and filled it with rocks. He g again.
他開始用手將泥刨開,但這樣以後,更多的泥又落進了他剛挖開的窟窿里。他就跑到那些山上落下的岩石邊,脫下襯衣將岩石裹住,又挖了起來。
Only this time, he placed rocks in the holes he g. The rocks stayed still and slowly a wall began to form. He did this through the day and when night came, his hands were bloody, torn by the sharp rocks.
這一次,他將岩石放進他挖開的窟窿里,岩石穩穩地呆在裡面,慢慢地形成了一面擋土石壁。他整整挖了一天。夜幕降臨時,他的兩手已經被尖銳的岩石劃得血淋淋的。
He knew night would be a bad time for the horse. He did not want it to become frightened and struggle against the wall of rock he was building in the mud.
他知道,夜晚對馬來說是很難熬的。他不想讓馬害怕,以至於掙紮起來踢壞他在泥里建好的石壁。
He cut some small trees, laid them on the ground next to the horse and all through the night, he spoke soft, kind words to it to calm its fears.
他砍了一些小樹,將它們放在馬旁邊的地上。另外,整整一夜,他都跟馬說一些溫柔友善的話來解除它的恐懼。
The next morning, he brought grass for it to eat and began his work again. It was slow, hard work. When night came, he lay next to the horse again. He did not want it to struggle yet. The time had not come for the test.
第二天早上,他抱來些草讓它吃,然後又開始忙活起來。這是一項好時而又艱苦的工作。夜幕降臨時,他又在馬旁邊躺了下來。現在他還不想讓馬從泥中掙脫出來,考驗的時機還沒有到。
By the middle of the next day, he had enough rocks in the mud on one side of the horse. Now he began to dig near the houses front legs. His rocks began to make the mud harder. The horse was able to move a little.
到第三天中午的時候,他在馬一邊的泥里放進了足夠的岩石。現在他開始挖馬前腿附近的土了。他放的岩石使泥地堅硬了起來,馬開始能動一點兒了。
And when the pressure became less, it raised one of its front legs on to the rocks. It pushed against the rocks on its side and lifted its body a little out of the mud.
而感到壓力變小了的時候,馬便將它的一條前腿拔了出來,翹到了岩石的上面,然後朝身邊的岩石猛蹬,使它的身體從泥里稍微抬起了點兒。
Jed got his rope and tied it around the horses neck. He began to pull on the rope.
傑德拿出繩子,將它繫到馬的脖子上,開始拉繩。
The horse felt the pull and struggled with all its power against the mud. It raised its other front leg on the rocks and with a mighty push with its back legs and with Jed pulling on its neck, it moved forward toward hard land.
馬感到了拉力,就用盡全力在泥里向外掙扎。他將另一條前腿也拔出來,搭在了岩石上,靠著後腿的巨大蹬力和傑德對它脖子施加的拉力,他向前面的硬地移動著。
Jed fell on the earth, happy but tired. He had not eaten for three days. He had slept little. Half sleep, he felt the horses nose push against his face. He jumped to his feet and when he brought grass for the horse it made friendly noises and playfully pushed him.
傑德倒在地上,高興而又疲憊。他已經三天沒吃東西了,睡的覺也不多。正有點迷迷糊糊的,他感到馬的鼻子拱到了他的臉上,他趕快一躍而起。當他為馬抱來草料時,馬發出了友好的叫聲,頑皮地拱拱他,和他戲耍。
A week later, a big black horse rode on the land owned by Tom Raglan. It stopped near the ranch house. A little man got off the horses back. Tom Raglan looked at the horse with eyes that did not believe. Finally he said: "You got him."
一周之後,有人騎了一匹大黑馬來到牧場主湯姆·拉格倫的領地上。他在牧場房邊停下來,一名小個子男人從馬背上跳了下來。湯姆·拉格倫用吃驚的眼光看著這匹馬,眼前的情景簡直令他難以置信。最後,他說:「你得到了他。」
"I got him, Tom, and I brought him back as I said I would."
「我的得到了他,湯姆,而且正像我說過的那樣,我把他騎回來了。」
Raglan looked at the horse. Above all, he was a horseman and there was no need for Jed to tell him how he captured it. Jed's tired face, his torn hands, dirty clothes and thin body told the story.
拉格倫看著馬。他畢竟是一個馬主,沒有必要讓傑德告訴他是怎麼逮住馬的。傑德疲憊的臉、劃爛的手、骯臟的衣服和瘦弱的身體就已說明了一切。
「Jed,」 Raglan said. 「that horse will kill anyone except you. I do not want it. But I have not forgotten my promise."
「傑德,」拉格倫說,「那匹馬會弄死除你之外的任何人,我不想要它。但我沒忘記自己的諾言。
"I will give you some land and the old house in back of the ranch if you will keep the horse there. I pay you '30 a month, if you will let me send my female horses to the black horse."
如果你讓這匹馬一直呆在這兒,我就把一些土地和牧場後邊的那坐老房子送給你。如果你讓我把我的母馬送到你的黑駿馬那裡去交配的話,我會每個月付給你三十美元。
"I want the black horse's blood in my horses. And you can keep every seventh horse for yourself.」
我想要我的馬的身體力都有黑駿馬的血統。而且,你可以留下交配後產下的小馬中的七分之一。」
Jed put his arm around the black horse. The black horse was his. His dream had come true. It was too much all at once.
傑德伸出手臂,抱住大黑馬。黑駿馬成他的了。他的夢想已經變為現實了。突然之間,他得到的真是太多了。
F. 海明威的小說The killers的主題是什麼,200左右,英文的~謝謝~
寫作思路:首先要了解海明威的小說《殺手》的主要內容,然後梳理文章的主要情節,比如海明威的《殺手》是一篇耐人尋味、含義深刻的故事,從其結構形式和思想主題上來考察,都是一篇完美無缺的短篇小說典範。
正文:
"The killer" is about two killers who are hired to come to a small restaurant. They tie up the chef and wait for the boxer to appear. However, the murder plan fails because the boxer doesn't come. Little guy Nick rushed to the boxer's small apartment to inform the news, but saw that the boxer was indifferent to the impending death, waiting to be captured. Shocked, Nick returns to the restaurant and is determined to leave the city.
《殺手》講述了兩個殺手受人僱傭來到一家小餐館,一邊捆綁伙計廚師,一邊等待拳擊手的出現,謀殺計劃卻因拳擊手沒來而告失敗。小伙計尼克趕到拳擊手的小公寓去通風報信,卻見拳擊手對即將面臨的殺身之禍無動於衷,等待束手就擒。倍感震驚的尼克回到餐館,決意離開這個城市。
Hemingway's "the killer" is an intriguing and profound story. From the perspective of its structure and theme, it is a perfect short story model. Because of its superb narrative art and strong drama, his works are frequently included in various literary books and adapted into films for three times. Meanwhile, it has attracted the attention of literary researchers and critics.
海明威的《殺手》是一篇耐人尋味、含義深刻的故事,從其結構形式和思想主題上來考察,都是一篇完美無缺的短篇小說典範。因其高超的敘述藝術與濃厚的戲劇性,作品頻繁地被收錄到各種文學讀本,並三次被改編成電影,同時還不停地受到文學研究者和批評界的關注。
The killer, published in 1927, is one of Hemingway's works after experiencing the first World War. It also shows his confused feelings.
《殺手》發表於1927年,也就是海明威經歷了第一次世界大戰後所作的作品之一,同樣流露出了迷惘的情感。
The original intention of the lost generation is to refer to the young people who were killed in the first World War and those who survived but were in a state of spiritual and moral dissociation. In the history of literature, it refers to the American novelists who express the feelings of the lost generation. Hemingway is the leader of this group of writers.
迷惘的一代原意是指在第一次世界大戰中被殺害的年輕人和倖存下來但在精神上和道德上處於游離狀況的年輕人,而在文學史上是指表現迷惘一代生存下來的情感的美國小說家,其中海明威是這一作家群的領頭羊。
The so-called perplexity is actually a kind of disillusionment after the war, that is, the worry about people's living conditions is not ideal. It is the writer's strong reaction to the impact of war, violence and death threat on people.
所謂迷惘,其實是指戰後的一種幻滅的情緒,即對人們生存狀況不理想所表現出的憂慮,是作家對戰爭、暴力和死亡威脅給人們帶來的影響的強烈反應。

我們剛講完,說的是不同階級人的隔閡。勞拉是個善良的女孩,她們家要辦一個Party,一開始勞拉裝作她媽媽的樣子指揮工人,後來發現他們都很好相處。然後她們家的一個鄰居死了,她不想辦下去了,然而她的媽媽姐姐都覺得她很好笑。但是當勞拉有了一定漂亮的帽子之後,她也馬上高興起來了,忘了這件事。後來她們一家良心發現,就給死人的那家送去飯菜,然而那也是剩下的。這個故事說明她們之間的隔閡是不會消除的,憐憫之心也並不是真心的,上下階級矛盾不可調和。

<Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother>, <虎媽媽的戰歌>
作者: Amy Chua 2011年在美國出版, 240頁
因這本書, 現在大家都叫她"虎媽"了.
書的副標題是:「This is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. This was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how I was humbled by a thirteen-year-old.」
「這是一個關於一個母親,兩個女兒和兩只狗的故事。本應是華人父母如何比西方父母更好教養孩子的故事。但卻成了一個苦澀的文化沖突,一個稍縱即逝的榮耀的品嘗,和我是如何在一個13歲的孩子前的謙卑的故事。"
I. 一篇英文短篇小說的英文版簡介,應付作業啊,一定要快
《The Million Pound Note》:
In 1903, American seaman Henry Adams (Gregory Peck) is stranded penniless in England and gets caught up in an unusual wager between two wealthy, eccentric brothers, Oliver (Ronald Squire) and Roderick Montpelier (Wilfrid Hyde-White). They persuade the Bank of England to issue a one million pound banknote, which they present to Adams in an envelope (only telling him that it contains some money). The reason for this is that Oliver believes that the mere existence of the note will enable the possessor to obtain whatever he needs, while Roderick contends that it would actually have to be spent for it to be of any use.
Once Adams gets over the shock of discovering how much the note is worth, he tries to return it to the brothers, but is told that they have left for a month. He then finds a letter in the envelope, explaining the wager and promising him a job if he can avoid spending the note for the month.
At first, everything goes as Oliver had predicted. Adams is mistaken for an eccentric millionaire and has no trouble getting food, clothes and a hotel suite on credit, just by showing his note. The story of the note is reported in the newspapers. Adams is welcomed into exclusive social circles, meeting the American ambassador and English aristocracy. He becomes very friendly with Portia Lansdowne (Jane Griffiths), the niece of the Duchess of Cromarty.
Then, fellow American Lloyd Hastings (Hartley Power) asks him to back a business venture. Hastings tells Adams that he does not have to put up any money himself; the mere association will allow Hastings to raise the money he needs to start up a gold mine by selling shares.
Trouble arises when the Duke of Frognal (A. E. Matthews), who had been unceremoniously evicted from the suite Adams now occupies, hides the note as a joke. When Adams is unable to proce the note, panic breaks out amongst the shareholders and Adams' creditors. Fortunately, all is straightened out
, and Adams is able to return the note to the Montpelier brothers at the end of the month.
