Two essays on the door beneath a happy city and the road beyond it: how a society teaches citizens to accept one child's suffering, and what departure can—and cannot—refuse.
Ursula K. Le Guin's 1973 short story. Full-story spoilers.
Everyone knows the child is there; the locked door prevents relation rather than information.
Departure withdraws consent from the bargain while leaving the harder work of opening the door undone.
两篇从幸福城市下面那扇锁住的门与城外道路出发，重读一项牺牲怎样被教成成熟，又追问离开能够拒绝什么、仍遗漏什么。
厄休拉·勒古恩1973年短篇小说。涉及完整剧情。
