Genre Short Story (4 pp.) 文学体裁:小说 Keywords Aging, Death and Dying, Disease and Health, Mens Health, Obsession, Patient Experience Summary Monsieur Daron, an eighty-six-year-old-man, comes to live at the new spa in Rondelis. He believes himself to be in excellent health, as a result of careful living. He has always had an obsessive fear of death, and he avoids all pleasure because it may be dangerous. 关键词: 死亡 疾病 健康 困扰 对死亡的恐惧 In order to measure and monitor his own condition, M. Daron arranges for the doctor in charge of the springs to visit him once a week with information on the health of everyone else in the surrounding area who is over the age of eighty. When he hears that someone has died, he quickly identifies a cause that might have been avoided; the man who died of pleurisy should not have gone out in the cold, and the one who died of dysentery must have eaten the wrong food. 故事梗概 情节摘要 Eventually, though, one old man dies for no apparent reason. The doctor can report no lesion, no disease: He died because he died, thats all. M. Daron is horrified and asks the mans age. Eighty-nine. He laughs in relief, saying, whatever it was, it wasnt old age . . . . Commentary A pithy account of our unwillingness to accept that illness and death are largely beyond our control. M. Daron is determined to believe that he owns and can completely determine his body and his health, and, therefore, his death. This is emphasized by his speech, with its emphatic use of the word my, as in my life, my arms, and even my doctor. Even at the end of the story, he denies his resemblance to the man who has died, clinging to the illusion that careful living will be enough keep him alive. In the process, his life is entirely focused on avoiding death, and he is unable to use or enjoy the time he has. A telling antidote to our present obsession with the power of the individual healthy lifestyle. 居伊·德·莫泊桑 编辑 莫泊桑一般指居伊·德·莫泊桑,更多含义请参阅 莫泊桑 。 居伊·德·莫泊桑,19世纪后半期法国优秀的批判HYPERLINK /view/6464.htm现实主义作家
