⑴ 马克吐温短篇小说集怎么样
I waited till he was done with what he was at， then he took me into a back room， and overhauled a pile of rejected suits， and selected the rattiest one for me. I put it on. It didn't fit， and wasn't in any way attractive， but it was new， and I was anxious to have it; so I didn't find any fault， but said， with some diffidence： "It would be an accommodation to me if you could wait some days for the money. I haven't any small change about me." The fellow worked up a most sarcastic expression of countenance， and said： "Oh， you haven't？ Well， of course， I didn't expect it. I'd only expect gentlemen like you to carry large change." I was nettled， and said： "My friend， you shouldn't judge a stranger always by the clothes he wears. I am quite able to pay for this suit; I simply didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note." He modified his style a little at that， and said， though still with something of an air： "I didn't mean any particular harm， but as long as rebukes are going， I might say it wasn't quite your affair to jump to the conclusion that we couldn't change any note that you might happen to be carrying around. On the contrary， we can." I handed the note to him， and said： "Oh， very well; I apologize." He received it with a smile， one of those large smiles which goes all around over， and has folds in it， and wrinkles， and spirals， and looks like the place where you have thrown a brick in a pond; and then in the act of his taking a glimpse of the bill this smile froze solid， and turned yellow， and looked like those wavy， wormy spreads of lava which you find hardened on little levels on the side of Vesuvius. I never before saw a smile caught like that， and perpetuated. The man stood there holding the bill， and looking like that， and the proprietor hustled up to see what was the matter， and said， briskly： "Well， what's up？What's the trouble？ What's wanting？" I said： "There isn't any trouble. I'm waiting for my change." "Come， come， get him his change， Tod; get him his change." Tod retorted： "Get him his change！ It's easy to say， sir; but look at the bill yourself." The proprietor took a look， gave a low， eloquent whistle， then made a dive for the pile of rejected clothing， and began to snatch it this way and that， talking all the time excitedly， and as if to himself： "Sell an eccentric millionaire such an unspeakable suit as that！ Tod's a fool-a born fool. Always doing something like this. Drives every millionaire away from this place， because he can't tell a millionaire from a tramp， and never could. Ah， here's the thing I am after. Please get those things off， sir， and throw them in the fire. Do me the favor to put on this shirt and this suit; it's just the thing， the very thing-plain， rich， modest， and just cally nobby; made to order for a foreign prince-you may know him， sir， his Serene Highness the Hospodar of Halifax; had to leave it with us and take a mourning-suit because his mother was going to die- which she didn't. But that's all right; we can't always have things the way we-that is， the way they-there！ Trousers all right， they fit you to a charm， sir， now the waistcoat; aha， right again！ Now the coat-lord！ Look at that， now！ Perfect-the whole thing！ I never saw such a triumph in all my experience." ……·

⑶ 马克吐温短篇小说的局限性
“短篇小说在今天，有时候会被误认为是一个作家协作实践的陪衬。今天，人人都感到时间是局促的，光阴如箭一般。但很多人却在这局促的时间里读着长篇小说，忽视着似乎无须太多阅读光阴的短篇。这让我想起有位作家在给亲人的信中说：“请原谅我把信写得如此冗长，因为我没有时间写得如此简短。”是的，原来写得简短是需要时间的，读简短的文字更需要时间的从容与沉静。短篇小说给人的挑战就在这里了。
从某种意义上说，人生实在不是一部长篇，而是一连串的短篇。一部长篇有它看得见的终极，一连串的短篇则有它不可预测的无限。这又是短篇小说给人的诱惑了：世界上本不存在一气呵成的人生，我们看到的他人和自己，其实都是自己和他人的片断。这些片断或者是隐蔽、琐细的，也常有一种来得急去得快的无序，它们每每令人猝不及防，令人无暇观瞻……”
这篇序完全可以看作是为短篇小说复兴的呐喊之作。
第一段论述把文字写得简短的艺术。针对的是人们总认为越长的文章越有价值的错误观点。中国传统佳作许多往往是言简意赅，就那么些字，可以让千千万万的中国人从古研究至今。可见“浓缩就是精华”的道理。有些东西，可以说是文字告诉你的，但又不完全是通过文字来传达。这大概就是阅读的乐趣吧，你，可以透过纸背、穿越时空和伟大的先哲们进行心灵的交流，多么令人激动啊！
第二段对人生和小说进行的类比也非常巧妙。按照我的理解，铁凝意在强调短篇小说的猝不及防正如人生的不可预见性，这是长篇所无法摹拟的。这恰中短篇的要义所在：就是抓住生活中稍纵即逝却有极具典型意义的片断，把它展现出来。她的比喻很精巧，但有个误区，就是我们无法就此比较长篇与短篇孰优孰劣。写好一部好的长篇小说应该是更有难度的，非文学巨匠难以把握其全盘的统筹构思与协调性。铁凝无疑是擅长短篇小说的，也许是自身的局限性，也许是思考的惯常方式导致。我无意否认她的成就，正如谁也无法否定莫泊桑的经典一样。
中和说来，我们既要有读长篇的耐心，也要有读短篇的细心。不然，你必定要错过一些美妙的风景。
