前言
著名作家、旅居英倫多年、曾任英國(guó)國(guó)家廣播公司制作人的董橋認(rèn)為讀英文偵探小說(shuō)好處多。董橋說(shuō):“學(xué)英文有三苦,不在洋人環(huán)境長(zhǎng)大學(xué)洋文學(xué)不進(jìn)骨髓是一苦;死命默記文法語(yǔ)法是二苦;性情內(nèi)向不喜結(jié)交洋人無(wú)從多說(shuō)多練是三苦。而通過(guò)原汁原味的偵探小說(shuō)便可化解這些苦處,苦中尋樂(lè)尋的自然是虛構(gòu)天地的洋人百態(tài)。柴米油鹽固然要學(xué),親疏愛(ài)恨人情世故也要懂得掌握分寸。小說(shuō)多得不得了,讀飽了感同自家經(jīng)歷,陌生的語(yǔ)言漸漸不太陌生,洋文洋話慢慢有了生活氣息,不再學(xué)究。”驚悚懸疑小說(shuō)是西方通俗文學(xué)的一種體裁,與哥特式小說(shuō)、犯罪小說(shuō)等同屬驚險(xiǎn)神秘小說(shuō)的范疇。驚悚懸疑小說(shuō)以懸念為驅(qū)動(dòng)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(lái),讀者是為了搞清楚故事的結(jié)局來(lái)進(jìn)行閱讀,但實(shí)際上驚悚懸疑小說(shuō)的精華,是讓讀者享受等待結(jié)局或探詢結(jié)局的過(guò)程,結(jié)局懸掛在最后。只是起到一個(gè)“勾引”的作用。驚悚懸疑小說(shuō)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(kāi)各種懸念,偵破犯罪的疑案。它的結(jié)構(gòu)、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(shuō)中的破案大多采取推理方式,所以也有人稱它為推理小說(shuō)。

章節(jié)摘錄
When they were gone, I went and had a look at the bedroom which had been got ready for our guest, and saw that all was straight. Then, being buffer in my lady's establishment, as well as steward ( atmy own particular request, mind, and because it vexed me to see any-body but myself in possession of the key of the late Sir John's cellar)then, I say, I fetched up some of our famous Lat our claret, and set it in the warm summer air to take off the chill before dinner. Concluding to set myself in the warm summer air next——seeing that what is good for old darer is equally good for old age——I took up my beehive chair to go out into the back court, when I was. stopped by hearing a soundlike the soft beating of a drum, on the terrace in front of my lady's residence.Going round to the terrace, I found three mahogany coloured Indians, in white linen frocks and trousers, looking up at the house.The Indians, as I saw on looking closer, had small hand-drumsslung in front of them. Behind them stood a little delicate-looking light-haired English boy carrying a bag. I judged the fellows to be strolling conjurors, and the boy with the bag to be carrying the tools of their trade. One of the three, who spoke EngLish and who exhibited, I must own, the most elegant manners, presently informed me that my judgment was right. He requested permission to show his tricks in the presence of the lady of the housse.Now I am not a sour old man. I am generally all for amusement, and the last person in the world to distrust another person because he happens to be a few shades darker than myself. But the best of us haveour weaknesses——and my weakness, when I know a family platebaske to be out on a pantry-table, is to be in standy reminded of that basket by the sight of a strolling stranger whose manners are superior to my own. I accordingly informed the Indian that the lady of the house was out; and I warned him and his party off the premises.
