羊腿與謀殺

前言

著名作家、旅居英倫多年、曾任英國國家廣播公司制作人的董橋認為讀英文偵探小說好處多。董橋說：“學英文有三苦，不在洋人環(huán)境長大學洋文學不進骨髓是一苦；死命默記文法語法是二苦；性情內向不喜結交洋人無從多說多練是三苦。而通過原汁原味的偵探小說便可化解這些苦處，苦中尋樂尋的自然是虛構天地的洋人百態(tài)。柴米油鹽固然要學，親疏愛恨人情世故也要懂得掌握分寸。小說多得不得了，讀飽了感同自家經歷，陌生的語言漸漸不太陌生，洋文洋話慢慢有了生活氣息，不再學究?！斌@悚懸疑小說是西方通俗文學的一種體裁，與哥特式小說、犯罪小說等同屬驚險神秘小說的范疇。驚悚懸疑小說以懸念為驅動力，引起讀者閱讀興趣，注重閱讀快感，滿足讀者好奇心。表面看起來，讀者是為了搞清楚故事的結局來進行閱讀，但實際上驚悚懸疑小說的精華，是讓讀者享受等待結局或探詢結局的過程，結局懸掛在最后，只是起到一個“勾引”的作用。驚悚懸疑小說通常塑造具有驚人推理及判斷智力的人物，根據(jù)一系列的線索，解開各種懸念，偵破犯罪的疑案。它的結構、情節(jié)、人物甚至環(huán)境都有一定的格局和程式。由于傳統(tǒng)驚悚懸疑小說中的破案大多采取推理方式，所以也有人稱它為推理小說。

章節(jié)摘錄

She took his coat and hung it in the closer. Then she walked overand made the drinks, a strongish one for him, a weak one for herself;and soon she was back again in her chair with the sewing, and he inthe other, opposite, holding the tall glass with both hands, rocking itso the ice cubes tinkled against the side. For her, this was always a blissful time of day. She knew he didn'twant to speak much until the first drink was finished, and she, on herside, was content to sit quietly, enjoying his company after the longhours alone in the house. She loved to luxuriate in the presence of thisman, and to feel——almost as a sunbather feels the sun——that warm maleglow that came out of him to her when they were alone together. Sheloved him for the way he sat loosely in a chair, for the way he came ina door, or moved slowly across the room with long strides. She lovedintent, far look in his eyes when they rested in her, the funny shape ofthe mouth, and especially the way he remained silent about his fired-hess, sitting still with himself until the whiskey had taken some of it a-way."Tired darling.'？""Yes," he said. "I'm fired," And as he spoke, he did an unusualthing. He lifted his glass and drained it in one swallow although therewas still half of it, at least half of it left. She wasn't really watchinghim, but she knew what he had done because she heard the ice cubesfalling back against the bottom of the empty glass when he lowered hisarm. He paused a moment, leaning forward in the chair, then he gotup and went slowly over to fetch himself another.
