《牧师的喜悦》写一个开设古老家具行的商人乔装成牧师到乡间去收集古代家具。他施展种种伎俩,连欺带诈,以极其低廉的代价收购了一件极名贵的古代家具,但是结果弄巧成拙,依旧落了一场空。《品酒》写两个心地龌龊、庸俗不堪的资产阶级市侩品酒打赌的故事。主人公为了赢得客人的房产,不惜将自己的女儿作为赌注,结果在对方更为狡诈的手法下几乎输掉了。在这两篇小说里,为资产阶级市侩所共有的几付贪婪无耻的嘴脸被刻画得入木三分,但是作者似乎只着重于幽默的讽刺,却缺少无情的鞭挞,从而冲淡了主题的严肃性。他的态度与其说是出于憎恶,不如说是出于取乐,最多也只是一种揶揄罢了。——译者
“The Priest’s Delight,” wrote a businessman who opened an ancient furniture store, posing as a pastor to the country to collect ancient furniture. He played a variety of tricks, and even deceitful fraud, at an extremely cheap price to buy a very expensive ancient furniture, but the result self-defeating, still landed a blank. “Tasting” writes two heart-wrenching, vulgar bourgeois tasting tastings. In order to win guests’ property, the hero did not hesitate to bet her daughter on the other hand, and the result was almost lost in a more cunning manner. In these two novels, the few shameless shamelessness common to the bourgeois market was portrayed as one-third, but the author seems to focus only on the satirical irony, but lacks ruthless whipping, thereby diluting the seriousness of the subject. His attitude is not so much out of hatred, as it is out of pleasures, at best, only a fool of myself. - translator
