Suggests the use of the term "atmosphere" (from New Criticism), which covers the short story's dominant emotional mood, as a help for translators of short stories. Argues that the proper comprehension of this key concept will make it easier for translators to select combinations and substitutions which faithfully reflect the original short story. (NKA)
