㈠ 求一篇1500词左右的英文科幻小说
Though this is a relatively short collection of stories, the strength of the tales inside it is such that they will leave the reader with flashbacks and images for days afterwards. They did me. In fact, days after reading I still remember vividly parts of its contents.
The fourteen stories included vary in scope, size and length. The book starts strongly with 态est New Horror?/I>, which deals with the premise of Eddie Carroll, a jaded horror story editor who is sent a story so memorable that it jolts him out of his malaise. The problem is that the story, 态uttonboy?/I>, is so horrific that many are sickened by it. Nevertheless, the editor sets off to find the mysterious writer, Peter Kilrue, and the story ends with something not expected. This was a very strong tale ?filmic, for reasons that are best left until you抳e read the story, and references that a fan will get.
Reminiscent in tone of Bradbury and Serling, and another famous author more contemporary, this is a collection marinated in genre and societal references; the societal references help create that feeling of normality in stories that are anything but; the genre references, which though not necessarily important to get to enjoy the stories, add another dimension to their narrative.
Fritz Leiber once pointed out that the scary things are not always gothic castles and ghostly spectres, but the unusual things that are part of our normal everyday world. This is something that Joe has clearly understood here. Part Horror, part 1950抯 SF B-movie, part surreal fantasy, the collection covers a broad range with skill, humour and, hell, an empathy for the genre抯 long history.
There are common themes throughout the book. Most of the stories are interwoven around familial relationships?the bonds between mothers/fathers and their daughters/sons - and peer friendships, between the main character and their friends.
With such a variety of interests, not all of the stories worked for me as well as others. Least successful, though still pretty good, was You Will Hear the Locust Sing, a story with a Bradbury-esque title that clearly highlights a respect for the 1950抯 B-Movies of mutant insects. Though initially amusing, by the end it was a little disappointing. Similarly, The Black Phone was a little creepy, though a weaker effort in such a strong collection. With a Weird Tales type ending that Richard Matheson would be proud of, though strong in feel, this one seemed a little too obvious to me.
My 'weirdness award' goes to My Father抯 Mask, which I抦 not sure I still understand, though it is very unsettling to read. Rather Wicker Man to me.
Having said this, most of the stories are very strong. Most successful to me were Voluntary Committal, (the final novella in the book which sympathetically deals with Nolan Lerner抯 brother, Norris, a boy with Aspberger抯 Syndrome, who has a connection with The Twilight Zone), and in a Tales from the Crypt-type tale, Last Breath, which deals with a visit to a very unusual museum. I also really enjoyed The Cape, a story about Eric抯 particular piece of clothing with a special power (or is it just self-belief?)
There are many stories like that in this book. It is a book that reads with deceptive ease, yet is supremely adept at creating ghosts. To illustrate this, Dead-Wood is a story that, in a page-and-a-half, creates an intriguing 憌hat-if?that is simultaneously beautiful, creepy, and haunting.
All good; but perhaps the biggest surprise to me was the story Pop Art, which deals with the story抯 nameless central character and his relationship with his inflatable schoolfriend, Arthur Roth. (Pop Art, get it?) On first reading, the story reads as allegorical whimsy. It takes a writer of skill, which Hill clearly is, to turn that around so that the end of the story is a powerfully moving one. Forget the practical impossibility here ?Joe makes the reader forget the impracticality to create this story with an ending that is almost painful to read.
To summarise, in this book Hill manages to combine hometown dreams and ambitions with the reality of failure, pathos, horror, humour and B-movie kitsch; all of which is achieved with surprising aplomb and an ease and skill that belies this being just labelled as 'an author抯 first book'.
Let's go further than that. Many other long-published authors would kill to be as good as just one of these stories ?it抯 that good. And one of the best story collections I抳e read in years.
Haunting, resonant, melancholic ?a collection that richly deserves its awards.

我的科幻故事
一天,我在公园里散步。突然,一个像盘子一样发着许多光的东西从天而降,低盘的中间发着绿光,像一根柱子。我好半天才反应过来是UFO——“不明飞行物”。我赶紧躲在一块大石头后面。只见那个不明飞行物从中间出来一个梯子,一个张着大大的脑袋,大大的眼睛,细又长的手臂,而且非常矮,只有1米左右的外星人从不明飞行物中走出来。它古怪地说:“躲在石头后面的地球人,你出来吧。我的雷达手已经发现了你,我不会伤害你的。”我一点一点地从石头后面走出来,赶紧跑。那外星人的手马上伸长,把我给抓住了。我被吓得把它的手拉开……最后我战胜了害怕,慢慢地走过去。我给它饮料喝。它把饮料放在地上,接着,一道水飞入它的嘴里。我惊呆了,它说它有吸东西的魔力,吸的是超能水。它还能把房子举起来,在0.001秒内算完一道上亿的乘法算式。
我请它带我进入不明飞行物内,它便带我进入不明飞行物里面。里面有许多机器,有一个把光转化成动力的机器,还有能在一秒钟飞回基地的超动力发电机,能在每秒钟转4亿转。飞船上的天线还能接受火星,木星,金星等发出的信号。
只见飞船发出声音:“动力系统出现问题,是否修复?”外星人回答道:“是。”过了5秒钟,飞船又说:“动力系统已修复。”我不禁惊讶:“你们科技真发达呀,在这没短的时间就能修好动力系统!”它听了,脸上露出得意的神色。这时,它说:“我要走了,我叫卡光,是火星人,再见。”一道百光一闪,飞船便没了。我呆呆地站在那个地方……
起床了……妈妈的声音在我耳边响起,原来是一场梦,我想:“我以后要去火星,去找卡光。”

I enjoy reading different kinds of books, but "Harry Porter" is my favorite one. The story is very long but I am interested in it. Harry was such a brave and clever boy that he dared to fight against powerful enemies. His Z-shaped scar and magic stick brought me into a magical world. In fact, the fiction story is so meaningful that I can learn a lot from it. I think it's the best book I've ever read.

㈦ 介绍小说的英语作文
The Black Joke is a rousing sea story in the tradition of the great classic pirate tales. The time is the 1930s. The loot is bootleg liquor, not pirate gold. And the ship is the “Black Joke,” the speediest, nimblest craft on the Newfoundland coast – Jonathon Spence, owner and master. An unwelcome passenger enmeshes the boat and her crew (young Peter and Kye) in danger and near destruction…until the fiercely independent people of the island of Miquelon are caught up in the fate of the “Black Joke” and the cargo aboard her.
㈧ 请问有大神可以写一篇关于对科幻小说看法的英语作文
虽然"硬科幻"、"软科幻"的分法常见诸于许多杂志、网站和爱好者之口,但赞成者内部对"软硬"的定义也存在争议;同样,有许多人拒绝承认这种说法,认为没有必要去细分科幻小说。
一个典型的混乱案例是《星球大战》(Star Wars)。起初许多保守的爱好者因为其中"原力"(Force,某种超自然的精神力量)的设定而认为它不属于科幻,而只能算奇幻小说,或好莱坞太空电影,反正不是科幻;另一些硬科幻小说拥护者认为好莱坞太空电影都是奇幻;而公众一般直截了当地把它们统统归为"科幻电影"。
一般认为这类作品严格上是应当归入太空歌剧的范围,其特点是对于非科幻迷来说,因为其模仿历史和现实的人物言行,反而有真实的感觉,所以对于公众来说更为严肃。所以阿西莫夫和田中芳树等著名科幻作家,都因为反过来利用人不知未来却知道过去,而故意把未来和历史类比,吸引读者对未来和太空的向往。
特摄或动画等影像媒体的盛行,使一些人相反地以荷里活太空电影或日本超现实军事动画为基准,倒转来认定,模仿威尔斯强调探索和反思的作品不是科幻。例如认为凉宫春日系列不是科幻,而是借用了科幻词语的校园恋爱幻想故事,可见科幻的定义是随时代和地方而变化的。
