A. 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.

C. 科幻故事50字以下
美国近代著名科幻小说家弗里蒂克·布朗曾写过一篇就目前来说,堪为世界上最短的科幻小说。把它译成现代汉语恰好是25个字,仅仅只有一句话:
地球上最后一个人独自坐在房间里,这时,忽然响起了敲门声……
尽管只有一句话,但它同样具备了小说的特点。就小说的三要素而言,有人物(一个人)、有情节(一个人独坐,听到敲门声)、有环境(仅有一人的地球上的某房间里)。科幻,重在科学幻想,其最为显著的特征就是:擅长夸张、制造悬念,给读者设置自由而广阔的联想、想象等思维空间。这25个字促使读者追究、探求的问题太多了——
地球上怎么会只剩下一个人?其他人都到哪里去了?是去往别的星球还是都死了?如果死了是因为什么而死的?既然地球上仅剩一个人,那么敲门的又是谁呢?是人类,是外星人,还是其它高智能的动物?这最后一个人是否去开门?开门后将看到什么?如果是外星人,他们能够通过语言来沟通彼此的情感吗?……最后故事又将会怎样发展?……总之,将会使每个读者都产生多维而丰富的联想和想象,有一百个读者,就会有一百个关于“地球上最后一个人”的故事

This afternoon we had a P.E. lesson. Our teacher taught us to practise the long jump. When the bell rang, we gathered on the playground. After warming-up exercises, the teacher told us about the long jump and showed us how to do it. We followed the teacher and practised one after another. Soon came my turn and I felt a little nervous. I failed the first time but I didn’t stop practising. At last I managed to jump over three meters.
From this lesson I came to see that one will succeed if he has the perseverance.

F. 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。
