萨基，英国最杰出的短篇小说家之一。他的作品多以20世纪初英国上层社会和中产阶级有闲无聊人的生活为题材，讽刺他们的浅薄、庸俗、势利和装腔作势。这群人中大多数游手好闲、穷极无聊，用宴乐、清谈、吹牛、养病、争风吃醋、无事生非来填补生活的空虚。

Mrs. Packletide’s Tiger

“I believe it’s ill,” said Louisa Mebbin, loudly in Hindustani, for the benefit of the village headman, who was in ambush in a neighbouring tree.

“Hush!” said Mrs. Packletide, and at that moment the tiger commenced ambling towards his victim.

“Now, now!” urged Miss Mebbin with some excitement; “if he doesn’t touch the goat we needn’t pay for it.” (The bait was an extra.)

The rifle flashed out with a loud report, and the great tawny beast sprang to one side and then rolled over in the stillness of death. In a moment a crowd of excited natives had swarmed on to the scene, and their shouting speedily carried the glad news to the village, where a thumping of tom-toms took up the chorus of triumph. And their triumph and rejoicing found a ready echo in the heart of Mrs. Packletide; already that luncheon-party in Curzon Street seemed immeasurably nearer.

附带五一青云山游玩的照片，这次路途使我深刻的认识到有车的重要性（被丢在深山老林等车2个小时未果，最后厚脸皮的拦下了一个送货经过的大叔的摩托车），所以要努力学习，挣钱买车，这样就可以自驾游啦 。
