The Woman in White 的开篇极负盛名：Walter Hartright 在月光笼罩的伦敦道路上经历了一场诡异的邂逅。受聘担任美丽女子 Laura Fairlie 的绘画老师后，Walter 被卷入了 Sir Percival Glyde 及其“迷人”朋友 Count Fosco 的阴险阴谋中，后者对白鼠、香草夹心糖和毒药情有独钟。The Woman in White 在英国乡间别墅与疯人院的林荫小道与走廊之间追问身份与疯癫的命题，是维多利亚时代开创哥特式恐怖与心理现实主义相结合流派的首部也是最具影响力的作品。

……特罗洛普（Trollope）确实不错，我觉得很多19世纪的小说家都是这种类型（名气可能不如最顶尖的那几位响亮，但作品绝对一流）。威尔基·柯林斯（《月亮宝石》《白衣女人》）就是这类作者里的又一个好例子。
…yes to Trollope, and I think there are a lot of nineteenth-century novelists who are like that (not quite as well known as the biggest names, but absolutely superb). Wilkie Collins (The Moonstone, The Woman in White) is another good example from that category.
没错！这根本就是19世纪甚至更早的讨论了——去读读《白衣女人》（The Woman in White，或者看看最近BBC拍的超赞改编剧）就知道了。
Exactly! This is a discussion from the 19th century, if not earlier -- just read The Woman in White (or watch the recent excellent BBC adaptation).
……只要距离不是太远，其实挺快的。不过在这件事上你是对的。我搜了文本，当时确实是在发电报。《月亮宝石》（The Moonstone）经得起时间考验。《白衣女人》（The Woman in White）也相当棒。我没读过他的其他书，不过听人说水准比不上这两本。
…pretty quick as long as the distance wasn't too great. But, in this case, you're right. I searched the text and it was indeed telegrams that were being sent. The Moonstone stands up pretty well. The Woman in White is pretty good too. I haven't read his other books although I'm told they fall off from those two.
……也挺欠缺的；我隐约记得高中时不太喜欢《双城记》。《荒凉山庄》大概在我的书单上。威尔基·柯林斯最出名的那两本小说（《月亮宝石》和《白衣女人》）我确实读过而且很喜欢，而且还看了一部我觉得被低估了的《白衣女人》音乐剧。他的其他作品我听到的评价褒贬不一，所以还没尝试过。
…lacking as well; I vaguely remember not liking A Tale of Two Cities in high school. Bleak House is probably the one on my list. I did read and enjoy the two obvious Wilkie Collins novels (Moonstone and Woman in White) and have also seen the latter in what I think is an underrated musical. I've heard rather mixed things and haven't tried other works.
……《双重赔偿》（Double Indemnity）也是对战后黑色电影（noir）类型的极佳探索。我敢肯定有文章论述过这一切是如何相互联系的，以及如何可能一路追溯到像威尔基·柯林斯的《白衣女人》（The Woman in White）这样的早期悬疑小说，但我目前还没找到任何梳理该类型历史并解释其经典套路（tropes）和母题历久弥稳原因的作品。
…Indemnity are also great explorations of the postwar noir genre. I'm sure there are essays about how it's all connected, and how it can probably be traced back to early mysteries like Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White, but I haven't found anything yet that charts the history of the genre and explains the relative stability of its tropes and motifs over time.
关于狄更斯和柯林斯：只要读过狄更斯（谁没读过呢）和柯林斯（通常是《月亮宝石》或《白衣女人》）的作品，并且愿意看一部在更黑暗、相当阴森骇人的背景下虚构探索两人关系的小说——由作为不可靠叙述者（还抽鸦片成瘾）的威尔基·柯林斯来讲述——或许可以考虑读读丹·西蒙斯（Dan Simmons）的……
Related to Dickens and Collins: anyone who's read works by Dickens (who hasn't) and Collins (usually The Moonstone or The Woman in White) and would enjoy a fictional exploration of their relationship in a somewhat darker, rather macabre setting with Wilkie Collins as an unreliable (opium addicted) narrator might consider reading Dan Simmons'…
