The Chinese translation of O 'Henry's Man on High is as follows:

The opportunity to attack from behind, is also metaphor to have worries

In a corner of the Provenzano Hotel, while we were eating spaghetti, Jeff Peters explained three different types of scams to me.

Every winter, Jeff always comes to new york to eat noodles. He watched the unloading in the East River wrapped in a thick squirrel coat, and hoarded a batch of Chicago-made clothes in a shop in Fulton Street. In the other three seasons, he was in western New York-his activities ranged from Spokane to Tampa. He often boasted about his career and supported and defended it with a serious and unique ethical philosophy. His industry is not new. He himself is an infinite company without capital, specializing in accommodating the restless silly money of his compatriots.

Jeff spends his lonely holiday in the wilderness of this tall building every year. At this time, he likes to brag about his rich experience, just like a child likes to whistle in the Woods at sunset. So, I marked the date when he came to new york on my calendar, and got in touch with Provenzano Hotel, and arranged a table with wine for us in the corner between the fancy rubber bonsai and the palace painting on the wall.

"There are two kinds of scams," Jeff said. "They should be prohibited by law. I mean speculation and theft on Wall Street. "

"Almost everyone will agree to ban one of them." I said with a smile.

"Well, theft should also be prohibited." Jeff said, I can't help wondering if my smile just now is unnecessary.

"About three months ago," Jeff said, "I was lucky enough to meet the representatives of the two illegal arts just mentioned. I also made friends with a member of the thieves' association and financier John Ty Napoleon. "

"This is an interesting combination." I yawned and said. "Did I tell you that I shot a duck and a ground squirrel on the bank of La Bobo last week?" I know how to open Jeff's chatterbox.

"People in Piwen town unexpectedly caught me and Bill and started talking to me about topics that were not completely unrelated to fruit trees. Some leaders put the rope from the carriage in the armhole of my vest and took me to see their gardens and orchards.

"Their fruit trees don't meet the specifications on the label. Most of them have become persimmon and dogwood, and occasionally there are one or two clumps of torreya trees and poplars. The only sign of success is a sturdy poplar tree with a yellow honeycomb with half a woman's broken vest hanging on it.

"In this way, the people in Piwen Town had a fruitless tour and then took me to the edge of town. They took my watch and money as payment and detained Bill and the carriage as collateral. They said that as long as a dogwood grows a peach in early June, I can get my things back. Then, they took out their ropes and told me to get out of the Rocky Mountains. Like Lewis and Clark, I went straight to the area with turbulent rivers and dense forests.

"When I woke up, I found myself walking towards an unknown town on the Santa Fe railway line. The people in Biwen town searched my pockets, leaving only a piece of chewing tobacco-they didn't want to kill me-and saved my life. I chewed tobacco and sat on a pile of sleepers beside the railway to restore my thinking ability and wisdom.

The Man on High describes the story of cheating expert Jeff, who plays a capable liar in a series of works by O'Henry. In this story, he met Bill, an expert in theft, and Rick, an expert in speculation. Each of them claims that his industry is the most capable. Later, Jeff cheated the thief Bill of 5,000 yuan with his own skill, and this 5,000 yuan was finally taken away by Rick with worthless stocks.

On September 1862, 1 1, O. Henry, one of the most famous American short story writers, was born in a small town in North Carolina, USA. He was praised by critics as a Manhattan Prize essayist and the father of modern American short stories.

There are more than 300 short stories written by O 'Henry, among which the works describing the life of Manhattan citizens in new york are the most famous. He made the atmosphere of the streets, small restaurants and shabby apartments very realistic, so he was called "the poet laureate of Manhattan". He once wrote many short stories about the life of a liar. The author tries to show that many people are high-level liars and successful liars in respectable upper society.
