摘要

摘要:康拉德的《那喀索斯号上的黑人》不仅仅是对海上生活的致敬，但这部小说对一群工资微薄、生活在恶劣条件下、从事重复性和体力劳动的跨国体力劳动者的同情描写却明显缺乏研究。本文认为康拉德对中产阶级文学读者的英国商船水手生活的引人注目的表现。我展示了康拉德如何让他的读者倾听水手们的声音，思考他们工作的价值，并欣赏那些看似卑微的体力劳动的重要性——比如在暴风雨中端上咖啡。

The Heroism of Serving Coffee: Joseph Conrad and The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'

Abstract:Conrad's The Nigger of the 'Narcissus' is more than a tribute to life at sea, but the novel's sympathetic portrayal of a multi-national group of physical laborers paid a meager wage, living in harsh conditions, and performing repetitive and physically debilitating work, is significantly understudied. The present article considers Conrad's compelling representation of the life of British merchant sailors for a middle-class literary audience. I demonstrate how Conrad makes his readers listen to the voice of the sailors, reflect on the value of their work, and appreciate the importance of seemingly menial, physical labor—such as serving coffee during a storm.
