胖子和瘦子Fat and Thin
安东·巴甫洛维奇·契诃夫Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Chekhov was one of Russia’s most famous and popular writers in his time, producing well-received works like The Lady with the Dog and The Bishop. This edition of Chekhov’s short story, Fat and Thin, is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Chekhov.
In Fat and Thin by Anton Chekhov we have the theme of social status, respect, class, perception, self-importance, discontent, equality, appearance and change. Taken from his The Complete Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Chekhov may be exploring the theme of social status.
《胖子和瘦子》是19世纪俄国作家安东尼·巴甫洛维奇·契诃夫的短篇小说。胖子和瘦子是老朋友,很久以后的一次见面,起初两个人还非常热情的拥抱问好,但随着瘦子知道胖子已经成了三等文官,立刻便改了称呼,直接喊其为大人。
瘦子带着他的瘦妻子和眯着一只眼睛的儿子,在火车站遇到多年不见的老朋友胖子。热情拥抱,彼此亲吻。瘦子不厌其烦地介绍自己的家庭、个人现在的情况。整个画面中气氛亲切、热烈而又和谐,基调明朗、清丽而迷人。
另一副画面是,胖子说自己已经做到三等文官,并且有了两个星章。这使刚当了科长不久的瘦子大吃一惊,十分地尴尬,十分地惭愧之后,又十分地佩服,十分地奉承,以至弄得胖子直恶心,只好扭头伸手告别,在瘦子一家毕恭毕敬的目送下离去。

"Holy saints!" cried the thin man in amazement. "Misha! The friend of my childhood! Where have you dropped from?"
The friends kissed each other three times, and gazed at each other with eyes full of tears. Both were agreeably astounded.
"My dear boy!" began the thin man after the kissing. "This is unexpected! This is a surprise! Come have a good look at me! Just as handsome as I used to be! Just as great a darling and a dandy! Good gracious me! Well, and how are you? Made your fortune? Married? I am married as you see. . . . This is my wife Luise, her maiden name was Vantsenbach . . . of the Lutheran persuasion. . . . And this is my son Nafanail, a schoolboy in the third class. This is the friend of my
