嘉莉到芝加哥探亲。在火车上结识推销员杜洛埃。她不堪工厂内的艰苦生活。和杜洛埃同居。从而结识酒店经理赫斯渥。赫斯渥迷恋她的美色。竟盗用公款和她逃到纽约。过同居生活。她因偶然的机会登台演出。渐渐获得成功。赫斯渥却逐步潦倒。两人分手。赫斯渥最后自杀。

这是美国伟大的自然主义作家德莱塞的处女作，讲述的是农村少女嘉莉如何从社会底层登上百老汇红舞星宝座的过程，细腻地展示了嘉莉的生存景观及心路历程。该作品以真切的现实主义为鲜明的特征，比较真实地揭露了20世纪初人们狂热的追求美国之梦的悲剧事实，揭示了驱驶人们享乐却最终幻灭的本能主题，说明了在以金钱为中心的美国资本主义社会里不可能有真正的幸福。

西奥多·德莱塞（1871－1945）是美国现代小说的先驱和代表作家，被认为是同海明威、福克纳并列的美国现代小说的三巨头之一。他出生于印第安纳州特雷霍特镇。父亲是贫苦的德国移民。德莱塞在公立学校接受了早期教育，之后进入印第安纳大学学习，一生的大部分时间从事新闻工作。他走遍了芝加哥、匹兹堡、纽约等大城市，广泛深入地观察了解社会，为日后的文学创作积累了丰富的素材。

德莱塞一生著作颇丰，第一部小说为《嘉莉妹妹》（1900），通过农村姑娘嘉莉到芝加哥谋生而成为知名舞台演员的故事，揭露了资本主义社会繁荣外衣掩盖下的生存斗争，对美国贫富对立的社会作了深刻的描写。1911年，《珍妮姑娘》问世，接着又发表了《欲望三部曲》的前两部《金融家》（1912）和《巨人》（1914），奠定了德菜塞在美国文学界的地位。《天才》（1915）是德莱塞自己最满意的一部长篇小说，通过一位青年画家的堕落控诉了资本主义社会对艺术的摧残。以真实的犯罪案件为题材的《美国的悲剧》（1925）是德莱塞的代表作。他的艺术特色–广阔的社会画面，丰富曲折的情节，深入细致的心理描述，不同情景的对比手法及独具个性的语言，统统体现在这部杰作中。可以说，《美国的悲剧》达到了德莱塞艺术创作的高峰。

《嘉莉妹妹》像一股强劲的自由的西风，席卷了密不透风的美国，自从马克?吐温和惠特曼以来，第一次给我们闷热的千家万户吹进了新鲜的空气。
　　——1930年诺贝尔文学奖得主　辛克莱?刘易斯
大概世界自上古来存在过的一切忧郁，阴暗和沉重，在作者笔下都有反映……他神情沮丧，他不知如何改变生活，因而他描绘生活一如所见——真实，毫不伪装。
　　——美国作家　舍伍德?安德森

misgivings-and they were as plentiful as the moments of theday-she was still happy.She could not repress her delight in doingthis little thing which，to an ordinary observer，had no importanceat all.
　　Hurstwood was charmed by the development of the fact that thegirl had capabilities There is nothing so inspiring in life as thesight of a legitimate ambition， no matter how incipient.It givescolor，force，and beauty to the possessor.
　　Carrie was now lightened by a touch of this divine afflatus.Shedrew to herself commendationca from her two admirers which she hadnot earned.Their affection for her naturally heightened theirperception of what she was trying to do and their approval of whatshe did.Her inexperience conserved her own exuberant fancy，whichran riot with every straw of opportunity，making of it a goldendivining rod whereby the treasure of life was to bediscovered.
　　”Let’s see，” said Hurstwood，”I ought to know some of the boys inthe lodge.I’m an Elk myself.”
　　”Oh，you mustn’t let him know I told you.”
　　”That’s so，”said the manager.
　　”I’d like for you to be there，if you want to come，but I don’t seehow you can unless he asks you.”
　　”I’ll be there，”said Hurstwood affectionately.”I can fix it so hewon’t know you told me.You leave it to me.”
　　This interest of the manager was a large thing in itself for theperformance，for his standing among the Elks was something worthtalking about.Already he was thinking of a box with somefriends，and flowers for Came.He would make it a dress-suit affairand give the little girl a chance.
　　Within a day or two，Drouet dropped into the Adams Streetresort，and he was at once spied by Hurstwood.It was at five in theafternoon and the place was crowded with merchants，actors，managers，politicians，a goodly company of rotund，rosyfigures，silk-hatted，starchy-bosomed，beringed and bescarfpinned tothe queen’s taste.John L.Sullivan，the pugilist，was at one end ofthe glittering bar， surrounded by a company of loudly dressedsports， who were
　　holding a most animated conversation.Drouet came across the floorwith a festive stride，a new pair of tan shoes squeaking audibly athis progress.
　　”Well，sir，” said Hurstwood， ” I was wondering what had become ofyou.I thought you had gone out of town again.”
　　Drouet laughed.
　　”If you don’t report more regularly we’ll have to cut you off thelist.”
　　” Couldn’t help it，”said the drummer，”I’ve been busy.”
　　They strolled over toward the bar amid the noisy， shiftingcompany of notables.The dressy manager was shaken by the hand threetimes in as many minutes.
　　”I hear your lodge is going to give a performance，” observedHurstwood，in the most of ihand manner.
　　”Yes，who told you?”
　　”No one，” said Hurstwood.”They just sent me a couple oftickets，which I can have for two dollars.Is it going to be anygood?”
　　”I don’t know，” replied the drummer.”They’ve been trying to getme to get some woman to take a part.”
　　”I wasn’t intending to go，” said the manager easily.”I’llsubscribe，of course.How are things over there?”
　　”All right.They’re going to fit things up out of theproceeds.”
　　”Well，”said the manager，”I hope they make a success of it.
　　Have another?”
　　He did not intend to say any more.Now，if he should appear on thescene with a few friends，he could say that he had been urged tocome along.Drouet had a desire to wipe out the possibility ofconfusion.
　　”I think the girl is going to take a part in it，” he saidabruptly，after thinking it over.
　　”You don’t say so! How did that happen?”
　　”Well，they were short and wanted me to find them someone.I toldCarrie，and she seems to want to try.”
　　” Good for her，” said the manager.”It’ll be a real nice affair.Doher good，too.Has she ever had any experience?”
　　” Not a bit.”
　　” Oh，well，it isn’t anything very serious.”
　　” She’s clever，though，” said Drouet， casting off any imputationagainst Carrie’s ability.”She picks up her part quickenough.”
　　”You don’t say so! ” said the manager.
　　”Yes，sir; she surprised me the other night.By George，if shedidn’t.”
　　” We must give her a nice little send-off，” said themanager.”I’ll look after the flowers.”
　　Drouet smiled at his good nature.
　　”After the show you must come with me and we’ll have a littlesupper.”
　　”I think she’ll do all right，”said Drouet.
　　”I want to see her.She’s got to do all right.We’ll make her，” andthe manager gave one of his quick， steely half-smlles， which was acompound of good nature and shrewdness.
　　Carrie， meanwhile， attended the first rehearsal.At thisperformance Mr.Quincel presided，aided by Mr.Millice，a young man whohad some qualifications of past experience，which were not exactlyunderstood by any one.He was so experienced and so businesslike，however，that he came very near being rude-failing to rememberiasresort，and he was at once spied by Hurstwood.It was at five inthe
　　afternoon and the place was crowded with merchants，actors，managers，politiaans，a goodly company of rotund，rosyfigures，silk-hatted，starchy-bosomed，beringed and bescarfpinned tothe queen’s taste.John L.Sullivan，the pugilist，was at one end ofthe glittering bar， surrounded by a corupany of loudly dressedsports， who were holding a most animated conversation.Drouet cameacross the floor
