ABSTRACT Julian of Norwich (1342–1430), anchorite and seer, was, according to the twentieth-century mystic poet and monk Thomas Merton, “one of the most wonderful of all Christian voices” and “with Newman the greatest English theologian.” Her Shewings, or Revelations of Divine Love, are an account, meditation, and teaching proceeding from sixteen visions she experienced on a single day in May of 1373. This “Soundproof Room” encounter takes the form of a mild creole of medieval and postmodern English of the sort that in prior works, most notably Paris Views and Foucault in Winter, in the Linnaeus Garden, the author has called “mixed language.” Here also the author takes his cue from Merton’s reputed avowal that “Rather than ‘Sister’, one calls her the ‘Lady Julian’,” by making dialogue a like instance of seeking how to address another.

“我该叫你什么？” （与诺维奇的朱利安）

摘要 诺维奇的朱利安（1342-1430），隐士和先知，据 20 世纪神秘诗人和修道士托马斯默顿说，是“所有基督教声音中最美妙的一个”，“与纽曼一起是最伟大的英国神学家”。她的 Shewings 或 Revelations of Divine Love 是对她在 1373 年 5 月的一天中经历的 16 个幻象的叙述、冥想和教学。 这种“隔音室”遭遇采用中世纪和后现代英语的温和克里奥尔语形式在之前的作品中，尤其是在林奈花园中的《巴黎风景》和福柯，作者称之为“混合语言”。在这里，作者还从默顿的著名声明中得到了暗示，“人们称她为 '朱利安女士'，而不是'姐妹'，”通过使对话成为寻求如何称呼他人的类似实例。
