1. 急求一篇短篇英语小说

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. 英文短篇小说怎么写,要注意哪些问题,谢谢

其实小说的写法和语言的种类没有太大关系。不过如果想要走诙谐路线,不同语言会有不同的文化系统,因而要根据不同的文化环境来加以选择罢了。
短篇小说其实想要写好是件很难的事,因为需要把情节冲突处理得更加凝练。又因为英语的短篇小说不是母语创作,建议先对构思里所要接触的国家的文化背景加以了解,然后基本的语法和词汇要注意是自然的。不过小说倒未必要完全书面语,可以视情况加入口语化的东西。
总之,这要根据你所选择的话题、内容、写作方式来加以判断。上面列举的是些通用的注意事项。
建议可以先多看些本土作家的作品。名誉卓著的如欧亨利和爱伦坡。还有马克吐温。这是三种不同的风格,就看阁下如何取舍了。
目前所想到的建议如上。希望对阁下有所帮助~【笑

5. 怎么进行英语短篇小说赏析

这个东西 建议你买两本书 或者看看中国的小说怎么赏析的 其实一样

套中人赏析
提起契诃夫的短篇小说,自然很容易使人想起他笔下的“套中人”别里科夫。契诃夫在短短的篇幅里,以讽刺的手法,入木三分地刻画出这一沙皇专制制度的忠实卫道士的典型形象。
作品开始时光从他的日常生活着手,描绘他在生活中一刻也离不开各种各样的“套子”:晴天带雨伞,耳朵塞棉花,把脸也躲藏在竖起的大衣领里。如果仅仅这样,那么只是孤僻可笑罢了,就让他躲在角落里吧;然而不止如此,他还要把思想臧在“套子”里,这个“套子”就是沙皇政府压制人民自由的文告和法令,他老是一个劲地嚷着:“千万别闹出乱子啊!”如果仅仅是这样,那就让他自言自语吧,用不着理睬他。但是问题远不止此。他还要用“套子”去凑别人的思想。更令人诧异的是大家看见他都害怕。就是这么一个古怪猥琐的人,就把大家压得透不过气来,把整个中学辖制了足足十五年,而且全城都受他的辖制,弄得大家甚至不敢大声说话,不敢写信,不敢交朋友……总而言之,人们对这个神经质的、变态的套中人妥协让步,可以说许多人也被迫不同程度地钻进“套子”中去了。作者在这里向我们提出一个令人深思的问题,别里科夫并不是达官贵人,他没有显赫的地位和权势,而是一个普通的中学教员,他在生活中是无足轻重的人物。在作者的笔下,他不是作为单个的人,而是作为知识界和社会上的一种典型,是旧制度、旧秩序、旧思想的忠实维护者,人们害怕他,其实是被那黑暗污浊的政治空气压得喘不过气来。当时的俄国,亚历山大三世实行恐怖统治,在俄罗斯大地上警探密布,告密诬陷之风盛行,在社会上确实有许许多多的别里科夫式的人物。作品通过别里科夫这个人物将批判锋芒直指扼杀一切生机的沙皇专制制度。
从艺术上着眼,小说最大的特色是讽刺手法的大量运用。首先以夸张的笔墨给别里科夫画了一张惟纱惟肖的漫画,显得多么迂腐和可笑。另外还运用巧妙的对比手法,以他荒谬绝伦的思想和他一本正经的语言构成一种对比,使人忍俊不禁。骑自行车,本是一件很平常的事,在他眼里却变成了极为反常的事,他一本正经地指责道:如果教师骑自行车,那么“学生就要倒过来用脑袋来走路了”。作品还不露痕迹地运用了反语和丰富的潜台词,极其辛辣地嘲笑了别里科夫,作者写道:“他躺在棺材里,神情温和、愉快,甚至高兴,”瞧!这个“套中人”死了,反而倒有神采了!作者接着指出:原来他“仿佛是暗自庆幸自己终于装进了一个套子里,从此再也不必出来了,是啊!他的理想实现了”。这是何等辛辣的讽刺!作者暗示我们,只有棺材,才是别里科夫应该去的地方,而且这也应当是一切“套中人”最好的归宿。
小说的开头与结尾也不能忽略。它们是作品的重要组成部分,起了深化主题的作用。小说是从一月夜两位打猎朋友的聊天开始的,他们本是海阔天空地闲聊,殊不知别里科夫的故事,引起了他们的感慨和深思。开始的轻松宁静和别里科夫的故事的沉闷气氛形成了一种反差,接着又引出了一段皎洁恬静的月色的描绘。这又和别里科夫的故事形成一种反差;大自然是宁静美好的。现实生活又是那么黑暗污浊。于是在那个月夜里,布尔金和伊凡·伊凡内奇浮想联翩,想到生活中的种种套子。作品最后写到伊凡·伊凡内奇再也不能入睡了,他站了起来,坐到门外,点上了烟斗。也许,他想到:再也不能照这样生活下去了!小说的这个结尾耐人寻味

我就只找到这些,希望你能有帮助

7. 英语写作入门:怎样写短篇小说

首先你的英文必须过关

其次,你必须明确你要写的小说内容是什么,先构思好大体,然后再进行补充内容

然后,开局你可以设一个谜团,或是一个悲惨的开局,或是一段美好的历史回顾,据此吸引读者,小说的情节得跌宕起伏、扣人心弦,让读者跟着情节走,结尾可以解开谜团,或令人叹息,或令人感动

之后,楼主在写的过程中要添加不少细节,楼主可以看看名家大作英文版的

最后,本人并不认同写英文小说,如果楼主是为了提高英语水平可以换换其他做法,仅仅是为了写小说可以先中文入手,然后再用自己扎实的英文功底将其翻译准确无误
