当Bertie Wooster的Dahlia姑妈指示他从地方法官兼恶棍Sir Watkyn Bassett的住所Totleigh Towers偷走一只银质水壶时，注定会惹来一身麻烦。首先，他必须面对Sir Watkyn那没精打采的女儿Madeline带来的危机，紧接着还要应付企图成为独裁者的Roderick Spode及其黑短裤党的威吓。然而当职责召唤时，Bertram义不容辞，随即便引出了他亲自命名的那桩“关于Gussie Fink-Nottle、Madeline Bassett、老头Bassett、Stiffy Byng、H.P. ('Stinker') Pinker牧师、十八世纪牛形奶油罐以及那个棕色小物件的险恶事件”，

我在这插一句，推荐《The Code of the Woosters》。这是 Wodehouse 处于巅峰状态之作。
I will interject here and recommend "The Code of the Woosters". It's Wodehouse at his apex.
一些我的最爱：纳博科夫的《微暗的火》、乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》、莱纳的《Et Tu, Babe》、卡夫卡的《变形记》（更算是一篇中篇小说）、阿契贝的《瓦解》、莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》和《科利奥兰纳斯》、沃德豪斯的《伍斯特家族的家规》、斯托特的《门铃响了》
Some favorites: Pale Fire by Nabokov Ulysses by Joyce Et Tu, Babe by Leyner Metamorphosis by Kafka (more a long story) Things Fall Apart by Achebe Hamlet and Coriolanus by Shakespeare The Code of the Woosters by Wodehouse The Doorbell Rang by Stout
按时间顺序来看，《Carry On, Jeeves》是 Jeeves 登场的第一本书。不过，下面这几本当作入门也都很棒：《The Inimitable Jeeves》《Thank You, Jeeves》《The Code of the Woosters》
Carry On, Jeeves is chronologically the first book where Jeeves appears. Any of these are good starts, though: The Inimitable Jeeves Thank You, Jeeves The Code of the Woosters

我把票投给《Psmith in the City》、《Joy in the Morning》和《The Code of the Woosters》。另外还有一本略显冷门的《Laughing Gas》。你说它们“比其他作品稍逊一筹”，这挺有意思。从字面意义上讲可能确实如此，因为 Wodehouse 是按他修改过的次数来衡量……
I'll vote for 'Psmith in the City', 'Joy in the Morning' and 'The Code of the Woosters'. Also there is the somewhat obscure 'Laughing Gas'. It's interesting that you say "notches below the rest." That literally may have been true, given that Wodehouse measured how many times he'd revised…
