摘　　要：艾丽丝·门罗的《孩子的游戏》和《多维的世界》以弑童案为题材,讲述了案件给不同人物造成的影响,但与传统的"奖善惩恶"伦理观不同,这两篇小说中的凶手没有得到意想中的法律惩罚。详细解读这两部短篇的叙事进程,对故事人物进行伦理判断,揭示小说作者门罗刻意如此安排的原因。随着叙事的步步深入,读者会发现规定性的伦理秩序有了改变:宗教伦理丧失作用、传统婚姻家庭观念转变、媒体情感介入、志愿互助机制盛行,这些全都与法国后现代学者吉尔·利波维茨基关于无痛伦理观的论述吻合,可见门罗近期的小说创作中渲染了无痛伦理色彩。In＂Child＇s Play＂and＂Dimensions＂,Alice Munro depicts two cases of murdering kids,but different from the conventional arrangement of ＂rewording the kind and punishing the evil＂,murderers in the two cases remain unpunished legally. To explore the reasons underlying this purposeful arrangement,it is necessary to analyze the two stories＇ narrative progression,making ethical judgement upon the characters. As the narration progresses,the stories reveal that the religious ethics loses its function,traditional concepts of family and marriage transform,a media emotion is introduced and the volunteer system prevails,all of which conform to Anodyne Ethics proposed by the French postmodernist scholar Gill Lipovtsky. This proves that in her recent writing Munro dyes her work with anodyne ethics.
