内容简介
布莱伯利最有名的是他的《华氏451度》（Fahrenheit
451），这本书是有关焚书的反乌托邦（dystopian）故事。但书迷们对他的短篇小说应该也很熟悉，比如《纹身人》（The
Illustrated Man）和《火星纪事》（The Martian Chronicles）。
“The Last Night of the World” is a tender,
simple story. The first line alone is universally intriguing: “What
would you do if you knew this was the last night of the
world?”
《世界的最后一晚》是个温柔、简单的故事。文章的第一句话就引人入胜：“如果这是世界的最后一晚，你会做些什么？”
精彩选段
"Do you know, I won't miss anything but you and
the girls. I never liked cities or autos or factories or my work or
anything except you three. I won't miss a thing except my family
and perhaps the change in the weather and a glass of cool water
when the weather's hot, or the luxury of sleeping. Just little
things, really."
“知道吗？除了你和两个女儿，我其实没什么好留恋的了。我从来不曾真正喜欢这座城市，或是汽车、工厂，我也不喜欢我的工作，或者任何你们三个以外的事。如果真要说有什么舍不得的，恐怕只有四季的轮换、热天里一杯冰得透透凉凉的水、还有饱饱地睡一觉。都是些微不足道的小事，真的。”
They sat and read the papers and talked and
listened to some radio music and then sat together by the fireplace
looking at the charcoal embers as the clock struck ten-thirty and
eleven and eleven-thirty. They thought of all the other people in
the world who had spent their evening, each in their own special
way.
他们坐着读报纸、聊天、听广播里的音乐，一起坐在炉火旁边，看着火炉里木炭发出的微光。时钟走过了10点半，11点，11点半。他们想象着，世界上其他的人将如何度过这最后一晚，以自己特殊的方式。
