特德·姜另一篇我最爱的短篇：《商人和炼金术士之门》。对我来说，它是少数能把时间旅行融入其中，既避开了悖论又依然极具意义的故事之一。
Another favorite Ted Chiang short story: "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate". To me, it's one of the few stories that manage to incorporate time travel and still have it be meaningful while avoiding paradoxes.
特德·姜的中篇《商人和炼金术士之门》早在 2008 年就在 Starship Sofa 上被朗读过（由 J.J. Campanella 朗读），这是我读过/听过最棒的作品之一：http://www.starshipsofa.com/2008/03/23/aural-delights-no-15-... 《领悟》也是……
Ted Chiang's "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" novella was read (by J.J. Campanella) on Starship Sofa back in 2008, it is one of the best things I've read/listened: http://www.starshipsofa.com/2008/03/23/aural-delights-no-15-... "Understand" is…
中篇小说《商人和炼金术士之门》是特德·姜一篇很棒的较长篇幅作品，现在不太好找了，但 Starship Sofa 做过它的有声书朗读（大概从 2:03 处开始）：http://www.starshipsofa.com/blog/2008/03/23/aural-delights-n...……
The novella "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" is a great longer Ted Chiang piece, hard to find nowadays but Starship Sofa did an audiobook reading of it (starts at about 2:03 mark): http://www.starshipsofa.com/blog/2008/03/23/aural-delights-n...…
要是特德·姜出一本长篇小说，我愿意出天价去买——《你一生的故事》是我读过最伟大的短篇小说之一，其他的像《商人和炼金术士之门》也同样精彩绝伦。
I would pay a ridiculous amount of money for a Ted Chiang novel - "Story of Your Life" is one of the greatest short stories I have ever read, and others like "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" are spectacular as well.
我推荐特德·姜的《商人和炼金术士之门》！一部背景设定在过去的优秀科幻故事，探讨了内疚与赎罪的主题。
I recommend "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" by Ted Chiang! An excellent sci-fi story set in the past that explores themes of guilt and repentance.
虽然也不是完全符合你的要求，但特德·姜的短篇《呼吸——宇宙的毁灭》探讨了决定论带来的一些情绪问题。哦对了，他的《商人和炼金术士之门》在文风上极美地探索了穿梭在时间旅行中交织纠缠的人们。
While also not quite what you asked for, Ted Chiang's short story "What's Expected of Us" deals with some of the emotional issues of determinism. Oh, and his "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" is a stylistically beautiful exploration of people intertwined through time travel.
