Abstract:In 1866, Charles Dickens added Mugby Junction, the eighth and penultimate extra Christmas number of his weekly periodical All the Year Round, to an inundated seasonal publishing market. This article argues that Mugby Junction suggests what provoked the pain, pressure, and eventual despair that Dickens felt about producing extra Christmas numbers. He expressed an ambivalence towards the effects of human interaction with modernity's rhythms (to which publishing contributed). He addressed the interference and the stasis of the Christmas publishing cycle by offering a model of "taking one's time," thereby discovering what it means to be "not going on."

“我不会继续”：与狄更斯的 Mugby Junction 协商圣诞节出版节奏

摘要：1866 年，查尔斯·狄更斯 (Charles Dickens) 将他的周刊 All the Year Round 的第 8 个和倒数第二个额外的圣诞节数字 Mugby Junction 添加到淹没的季节性出版市场中。这篇文章认为，Mugby Junction 表明是什么激起了狄更斯对制作额外圣诞节数字的痛苦、压力和最终的绝望。他对人类互动与现代性节奏（出版业对此做出贡献）的影响持矛盾态度。他通过提供一个“花时间”的模型来解决圣诞节出版周期的干扰和停滞问题，从而发现“不继续”意味着什么。
