Appointment With Love --By Sulamith Ish-Kishor
Six minutes to six, said the great round clock over the information booth in Grand Central Station. The tall young Army lieutenant who had just come from the direction of the tracks lifted his sunburned face, and his eyes narrowed to note the exact time. His heart was pounding with a beat that shocked him because he could not control it. In six minutes, he would see the woman who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 13 months, the woman he had never seen, yet whose written words had been with him and sustained him unfailingly.
He placed himself as close as he could to the information booth, just beyond the ring of people besieging the clerks...
Lieutenant Blandford remembered one night in particular, the worst of the fighting, when his plane had been caught in the midst of a pack of Zeros. He had seen the grinning face of one of the enemy pilots.
In one of his letters, he had confessed to her that he often felt fear, and only a few days before this battle, he had received her answer: "Of course you fear...all brave men do. Didn't King David know fear? That's why he wrote the 23rd Psalm. Next time you doubt yourself, I want you to hear my voice reciting to you: 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me.'" And he had remembered; he had heard her imagined voice, and it had renewed his strength and skill.
Now he was going to hear her real voice. Four minutes to six. His face grew sharp.
Under the immense, starred roof, people were walking fast, like threads of color being woven into a gray web. A girl passed close to him, and Lieutenant Blandford started. She was wearing a red flower in her suit lapel, but it was a crimson sweet pea, not the little red rose they had agreed upon. Besides, this girl was too young, about 18, whereas Hollis Meynell had frankly told him she was 30. "Well, what of it?" he had answered. "I'm 32." He was 29.
His mind went back to that book - the book the Lord Himself must have put into his hands out of the hundreds of Army library books sent to the Florida training camp. Of Human Bondage, it was; and throughout the book were notes in a woman's writing. He had always hated that writing-in habit, but these remarks were different. He had never believed that a woman could see into a man's heart so tenderly, so understandingly. Her name was on the bookplate: Hollis Meynell. He had got hold of a New York City telephone book and found her address. He had written, she had answered. Next day he had been shipped out, but they had gone on writing.
For 13 months, she had faithfully replied, and more than replied. When his letters did not arrive she wrote anyway, and now he believed he loved her, and she loved him.
But she had refused all his pleas to send him her photograph. That seemed rather bad, of course. But she had explained: "If your feeling for me has any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain (and you must admit that this is more likely). Then I'd always fear that you were going on writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don't ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decision. Remember, both of us are free to stop or to go on after that - whichever we choose..."
One minute to six - Lieutenant Blandford's heart leaped higher than his plane had ever done.
A young woman was coming toward him. Her figure was long and slim; her blond hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were blue as flowers, her lips and chin had a gentle firmness. In her pale green suit, she was like springtime come alive.
He started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was wearing no rose, and as he moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips.
"Going my way, soldier?" she murmured.
Uncontrollably, he made one step closer to her. Then he saw Hollis Meynell.
She was standing almost directly behind the girl, a woman well past 40, her graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump; her thick-ankled feet were thrust into low-heeled shoes. But she wore a red rose in the rumpled lapel of her brown coat.
The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.
Blandford felt as though he were being split in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and upheld his own; and there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible; he could see that now. Her gray eyes had a warm, kindly twinkle.
Lieutenant Blandford did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn, blue leather of Of Human Bondage, which was to identify him to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even rarer than love - a friendship for which he had been and must ever be grateful.
He squared his broad shoulders, saluted and held the book out toward the woman, although even while he spoke he felt shocked by the bitterness of his disappointment.
"I'm Lieutenant John Blandford, and you - you are Miss Meynell. I'm so glad you could meet me. May...may I take you to dinner?"
The woman's face broadened in a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is all about, son," she answered. "That young lady in the green suit - the one who just went by - begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said that if you asked me to go out with you, I should tell you that she's waiting for you in that big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of a test. I've got two boys with Uncle Sam myself, so I didn't mind to oblige you."

4. 英文短篇小說怎麼寫,要注意哪些問題,謝謝
其實小說的寫法和語言的種類沒有太大關系。不過如果想要走詼諧路線,不同語言會有不同的文化系統,因而要根據不同的文化環境來加以選擇罷了。
短篇小說其實想要寫好是件很難的事,因為需要把情節沖突處理得更加凝練。又因為英語的短篇小說不是母語創作,建議先對構思里所要接觸的國家的文化背景加以了解,然後基本的語法和詞彙要注意是自然的。不過小說倒未必要完全書面語,可以視情況加入口語化的東西。
總之,這要根據你所選擇的話題、內容、寫作方式來加以判斷。上面列舉的是些通用的注意事項。
建議可以先多看些本土作家的作品。名譽卓著的如歐亨利和愛倫坡。還有馬克吐溫。這是三種不同的風格,就看閣下如何取捨了。
目前所想到的建議如上。希望對閣下有所幫助~【笑
5. 怎麼進行英語短篇小說賞析
這個東西 建議你買兩本書 或者看看中國的小說怎麼賞析的 其實一樣

套中人賞析
提起契訶夫的短篇小說,自然很容易使人想起他筆下的「套中人」別里科夫。契訶夫在短短的篇幅里,以諷刺的手法,入木三分地刻畫出這一沙皇專制制度的忠實衛道士的典型形象。
作品開始時光從他的日常生活著手,描繪他在生活中一刻也離不開各種各樣的「套子」:晴天帶雨傘,耳朵塞棉花,把臉也躲藏在豎起的大衣領里。如果僅僅這樣,那麼只是孤僻可笑罷了,就讓他躲在角落裡吧;然而不止如此,他還要把思想臧在「套子」里,這個「套子」就是沙皇政府壓制人民自由的文告和法令,他老是一個勁地嚷著:「千萬別鬧出亂子啊!」如果僅僅是這樣,那就讓他自言自語吧,用不著理睬他。但是問題遠不止此。他還要用「套子」去湊別人的思想。更令人詫異的是大家看見他都害怕。就是這么一個古怪猥瑣的人,就把大家壓得透不過氣來,把整個中學轄制了足足十五年,而且全城都受他的轄制,弄得大家甚至不敢大聲說話,不敢寫信,不敢交朋友……總而言之,人們對這個神經質的、變態的套中人妥協讓步,可以說許多人也被迫不同程度地鑽進「套子」中去了。作者在這里向我們提出一個令人深思的問題,別里科夫並不是達官貴人,他沒有顯赫的地位和權勢,而是一個普通的中學教員,他在生活中是無足輕重的人物。在作者的筆下,他不是作為單個的人,而是作為知識界和社會上的一種典型,是舊制度、舊秩序、舊思想的忠實維護者,人們害怕他,其實是被那黑暗污濁的政治空氣壓得喘不過氣來。當時的俄國,亞歷山大三世實行恐怖統治,在俄羅斯大地上警探密布,告密誣陷之風盛行,在社會上確實有許許多多的別里科夫式的人物。作品通過別里科夫這個人物將批判鋒芒直指扼殺一切生機的沙皇專制制度。
從藝術上著眼,小說最大的特色是諷刺手法的大量運用。首先以誇張的筆墨給別里科夫畫了一張惟紗惟肖的漫畫,顯得多麼迂腐和可笑。另外還運用巧妙的對比手法,以他荒謬絕倫的思想和他一本正經的語言構成一種對比,使人忍俊不禁。騎自行車,本是一件很平常的事,在他眼裡卻變成了極為反常的事,他一本正經地指責道:如果教師騎自行車,那麼「學生就要倒過來用腦袋來走路了」。作品還不露痕跡地運用了反語和豐富的潛台詞,極其辛辣地嘲笑了別里科夫,作者寫道:「他躺在棺材裡,神情溫和、愉快,甚至高興,」瞧!這個「套中人」死了,反而倒有神采了!作者接著指出:原來他「彷彿是暗自慶幸自己終於裝進了一個套子里,從此再也不必出來了,是啊!他的理想實現了」。這是何等辛辣的諷刺!作者暗示我們,只有棺材,才是別里科夫應該去的地方,而且這也應當是一切「套中人」最好的歸宿。
小說的開頭與結尾也不能忽略。它們是作品的重要組成部分,起了深化主題的作用。小說是從一月夜兩位打獵朋友的聊天開始的,他們本是海闊天空地閑聊,殊不知別里科夫的故事,引起了他們的感慨和深思。開始的輕松寧靜和別里科夫的故事的沉悶氣氛形成了一種反差,接著又引出了一段皎潔恬靜的月色的描繪。這又和別里科夫的故事形成一種反差;大自然是寧靜美好的。現實生活又是那麼黑暗污濁。於是在那個月夜裡,布爾金和伊凡·伊凡內奇浮想聯翩,想到生活中的種種套子。作品最後寫到伊凡·伊凡內奇再也不能入睡了,他站了起來,坐到門外,點上了煙斗。也許,他想到:再也不能照這樣生活下去了!小說的這個結尾耐人尋味
我就只找到這些,希望你能有幫助

7. 英語寫作入門:怎樣寫短篇小說
首先你的英文必須過關
其次,你必須明確你要寫的小說內容是什麼,先構思好大體,然後再進行補充內容
然後,開局你可以設一個謎團,或是一個悲慘的開局,或是一段美好的歷史回顧,據此吸引讀者,小說的情節得跌宕起伏、扣人心弦,讓讀者跟著情節走,結尾可以解開謎團,或令人嘆息,或令人感動
之後,樓主在寫的過程中要添加不少細節,樓主可以看看名家大作英文版的
最後,本人並不認同寫英文小說,如果樓主是為了提高英語水平可以換換其他做法,僅僅是為了寫小說可以先中文入手,然後再用自己扎實的英文功底將其翻譯准確無誤
