Collected Short Stories Volume 1《毛姆短篇故事集1》带我们去往英国、法国、西班牙等国家，还引我们领略了太平洋岛国的风情。毛姆笔下的世俗男女在一幕幕凛冽的人间短剧中出演了一个个令人难以忘怀的角色。人性弱点无时不在精确透视之下，人际关系被一次次地冷冷剖析。在各种光怪陆离的场景中，迷失的人性引发了一连串的悲剧。
This classic collection of stories moves from England, France and Spain to the silver sands of the South Pacific. It includes the famous story "Rain", the tragedy of a narrow-minded and overzealous missionary and a prostitute, and "The Three Fat Women of Antibes", an extravagantly sardonic tale of abstention and greed, as well as a host of other brilliant tales.

It was nearly bed-time and when they awoke nextmorning land would be in sight. Dr Macphail lit his pipe and, leaning over the rail, searched the heavens for the Southern Cross. After two years at the front and a wound that had taken longer to heal than it should, he was glad to settle down quietly at Apia for twelve months at least, and he felt already better for the journey. Since some of the passengers were leaving the ship next day at Pago-Pago they had had a little dance that evening and in his ears hammered still the harsh notes of the mechanical piano. But the deck wad quiet at last. A little way off he saw his wife in a long chair talking with the Davidsons, and he strolled over to her. When he sat down under the light and took off his hat you saw that he had very red hair, with a bald patch on the crown, and the read, freckled skin which accompanies red hair; he was a man of forty, thin, with a pinched face, precise and rather pedantic; and he spoke with a Scots accent in a very low, quiet voice.Between the Macphails and the Davidsons, who were missionaries, there had arisen the intimacy of shipboard, which is due to propinquity rather than to any community of taste. Their chief tie was the disapprovalthey shared of the men who spent their days and nights in the smoking-room playing poker or bridge and drinking. Mrs Macphail was not alittle flattered to think that she and her husband were the only people on board with whom the Davidsons were willing to associate, and even the doctor, shy but no fool, half unconsciously acknowledged the compliment. It was onlybecause he wad of an argumentative mind that in their cabin at night he permitted himself to crap.
