영어로 읽는 공상과학 소설 _ 에블린 E. 스미스의 하늘의 차 쟁반
Evelyn E. Smith의 "Tea Tray in the Sky"는 1952년에 발표된 SF 단편 소설이다. 이 작품은 Galaxy Science Fiction 잡지에 게재되었으며, Smith의 독특한 문체와 상상력이 돋보이는 작품으로 알려져 있다. 제목에서 암시하듯 이 소설은 일상적인 물건인 '찻쟁반'과 비일상적인 공간인 '하늘'을 결합시켜 독특한 SF적 상황을 연출하고 있다. 이러한 설정은 Smith 특유의 유머와 풍자를 효과적으로 전달하는 도구로 사용되었을 것이다. 작품은 아마도 지구와 우주, 혹은 현실과 환상의 경계를 넘나드는 이야기를 담고 있을 가능성이 높다. Smith는 이 작품을 통해 1950년대의 사회적, 문화적 규범에 대한 비판적 시각을 SF적 요소와 결합하여 표현했을 것으로 보인다.

Science Fiction Novels in English _ Tea Tray in the Sky by Evelyn E. Smith
Evelyn E. Smith's "Tea Tray in the Sky" is a science fiction short story published in 1952. This work was published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, and is known for Smith's unique writing style and imagination. As the title suggests, this novel combines the everyday object, a "tea tray," with the extraordinary space, "the sky," to create a unique science fiction situation. This setting was likely used as a tool to effectively convey Smith's unique humor and satire. The work likely contains a story that crosses the boundaries between Earth and space, or between reality and fantasy. Through this work, Smith seems to have expressed her critical view of the social and cultural norms of the 1950s by combining science fiction elements.

Summary
Visiting a society is tougher than being born into it. A 40 credit tour is no substitute!

The picture changed on the illuminated panel that filled the forward end of the shelf on which Michael lay. A haggard blonde woman sprawled apathetically in a chair.
"Rundown, nervous, hypertensive?" inquired a mellifluous voice. "In need of mental therapy? Buy Grugis juice; it's not expensive. And they swear by it on Merope."
A disembodied pair of hands administered a spoonful of Grugis juice to the woman, whereupon her hair turned bright yellow, makeup bloomed on her face, her clothes grew briefer, and she burst into a fast Callistan clog.
