美国小说家珍妮弗.伊根的小说《暴徒袭过》中好几个人物把时间视作暴徒。伊根通过讲述很多人物从青年到中年命运的转变,否定了时间是打破人类梦想的暴徒的说法,希望人们正视造成自己生活不幸的根本原因。她用大量不幸家庭的事实叩问人们的道德意识,希望他们对自己的家庭多一份责任心、多一份关爱。 Several characters in American novelist Jennifer Egan’s novel “Thugs Attacked” regard time as a thug.

She used the fact that a large number of unfortunate families to question people’s moral awareness, I hope they have more sense of responsibility for their family, more care.
