摘要

摘要:《乞力马扎罗山的雪》和《一个读者写道》虽然在接受历史上有很大的不同,但在语言和主题上却有一个重要的相似之处:每个故事都包含了关于一种特定疾病(分别是坏疽和梅毒)是如何被感染的类似措辞的猜测。通过思考这种疾病是否一定会发生,海伦和这位不知名的“读者”引发了对因果关系和偶然性的更广泛思考。就《雪》而言,这种对偶然性的探究也与哈利的担忧有关,即他为什么没能写出他本可以写出的故事。

Why Things Happen and Why They Don't: Causality and Contingency in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "One Reader Writes"
Abstract:"The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "One Reader Writes," although very different in their reception histories, nevertheless share a crucial verbal and thematic parallel: each story contains similarly worded speculation on how a particular illness (gangrene and syphilis, respectively) came to be contracted. By wondering whether or not the illness in question had to happen, Helen and the unnamed "Reader" invite broader consideration of causality and contingency. In the case of "Snows," this inquiry into contingency pertains also to Harry's concerns as to why he failed to write the stories that he might have written.
