We evaluate the electric dipole absorption in small metal particles in a longitudinal electric field taking into account the Fermi-Thomas screening. When either the level broadening or the frequency of the field are larger than the mean energy-level spacing, the main contribution to absorption is classical, with quantum corrections. When both the broadening and the frequency are smaller than the mean level spacing, the absorption is manifestly quantum and can be understood in terms of the two-level system.
