短篇小说《保姆》和《一个研究希腊语言和文化的学者》选自他的短篇小说集《沉沦》(1974年出版),从希腊语译出。小说《保姆》的原标题是《埃芙蒂海亚太太和米霍斯》,女主人公埃芙蒂海亚的名字在希腊文中为“幸运”的意思。作者一语双关,以其名字隐喻其命运。 The short stories “Nanny” and “A Scholar to Study Greek Language and Culture” were chosen from his collection of The Story of the Dead, published in 1974, translated from Greek. The original title of the novel “Nanny” is “Mrs. Ephenia and Mihoce”, and the name of the heroine Eti Tyhai means “lucky” in Greek. The author punctuates his fate by his name.
