This article illuminates two short stories by John Galsworthy through examining them with the help of his diaries and letters, a handful of unpublished letters by his nephew from an internment camp and secondary historical sources. It argues that the stories, when read in conjunction with these sources, are highly revealing about human nature during Second World War and also about Galsworthy’s prescient fears concerning a second twentieth-century world war, which he did not live to see.

John Galsworthy的《光明面》和《那只狗死了》中的外星人实习生

本文通过约翰·高斯沃西（John Galsworthy）的两个短篇小说，在他的日记和信件的帮助下对其进行了阐述，这是他的侄子从拘留营和二级历史资料中获得的一些未发表的信件。它认为，这些故事与这些资料一起阅读时，可以很好地揭示第二次世界大战期间的人性以及高斯沃西对第二十世纪第二次世界大战的先见之明的恐惧，而他却从未见过这样的经历。
