导语:对于举世闻名的短篇小说家欧·亨利,你了解多少呢
Visitors to central Austin,Texas,would be easy to miss a small,old house called the O.Henry Museum.William Sydney Porter(1862—1910)—better known as O.Henry,was one of America’s best-loved writers of short stories.Beginning in 1893,he lived here.It was saved from destruction1,moved,and turned into a museum in 1934.The museum is a good place to learn about the interesting life of him.
Porter rented this house and lived with his wife Athol for two years.Many objects in it all belonged to them.Others were not,simply recreating2 the way it looked during their lifetime.
Porter worked at a farm,land office and bank.He also loved words and writing.The museum has special proof of Porter’s love of language—his dictionary.It’s said that he read every word.Porter started a publication called The Rolling Stone.His funny stories,poems,and drawings were published in the magazine.But it was too costly,so he closed the project after one year.
Other troubles led the Porters to leave Austin.Porter was accused3 of financial wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job.Fearing a trial4,he fled the country.But he returned because his wife was dying.After her death,he faced trial and was found guilty.He served three years and three months in a federal prison,in Ohio.
Porter kept his time in prison a secret.But it provided him with time to write.By the time of his release,he had published 14 stories and become well known as O.Henry.
He later moved to New York City and got great success there.O.Henry wrote more than 270 short stories and a novel,as well as a small number of poems all his life.
译文:
参观得克萨斯州奥斯汀市中心的游客很容易就会错过一座名为欧·亨利博物馆的古老小房子。威廉·西德尼·波特(1862—1910),更广为人知的名字是欧·亨利,是美国最受欢迎的短篇小说作家之一。从1893年开始,他住在这里。1934年,它被拯救免于毁灭,迁移,变成了一座博物馆。这座博物馆是一个了解他有趣生活的好地方。
波特租下这栋房子,和他的妻子阿索尔一起住了两年。里面的许多东西都属于他们。另一些则不是,只是为了重现他们生前的样子。
波特在农场、土地局和银行工作过。他也喜欢文字和写作。博物馆有特别证据证明波特对语言的喜爱——他的字典。据说每一个字他都读了。波特创办了一家名为《滚石》的刊物。他的有趣的故事、诗歌和绘画作品都发表在该杂志上。但是成本太高,所以他在一年后结束了这个项目。
其他麻烦使得波特一家离开奥斯汀。波特被控告在银行有财务上的不法行为并失去了工作。由于害怕受到审判,他逃离了这个国家。但他之后回来是因为他的妻子快要死了。他的妻子死后,他面临审判,被判有罪。他在一所俄亥俄州的联邦监狱里服刑了三年零三个月。
波特对自己在监狱里的日子保密。但这给了他写作的时间。在被释放的时候,他已经发表了14篇小说,并以欧·亨利闻名。
他后来搬到了纽约市,并在那里获得了巨大的成功。欧·亨利一生创作了270多部短篇小说和一部长篇小说,还有数量很少的诗歌。
