感恩啊！我之前買了『能不能請你安靜點』中文版及英文版。我再去找您老人家介紹的這幾位作家的作品。努力再把文筆練好點囉！雖然不能當飯吃，但很有趣，用來寫寫情書，也是絕招。不過，目前沒有女孩中招，哈哈！

Hemingway is also a good choice.

For fun: Any short stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer

For life: Anton Chekhov's short stories from www.gutenberg.org (Free)

For cynics: Guy de Maupassant's short stories on www.gutenberg.org too.

If you want to buy books, I recommend Raymond Carver. But of course you won't feel happy about life from reading his works.

請老師推薦幾本短篇小說，中英文不拘。如果是第三種外語，最好有中譯本囉！
