摘　　要：狄更斯在《荒凉山庄》中对伦敦贫民恶劣生活环境的描写,与当时很有影响的"疠气致病说"有相当关联。这一学说将污浊的空气当作"流行病"的来源,从而推动了维多利亚时代城市卫生系统的改革。狄更斯是这一运动的积极参与者,《荒凉山庄》里弥散的"疠气"切实提醒着人们亟待解决的城市清洁问题。小说表现了卫生的生活环境、人们的身体健康与他们的道德问题不可分割的关系,并以"流行病"为线索,思考了伦敦这个现代化大都市里人们之间的联系和共同命运。Charles Dickens’ s depiction of the filthy environment of London’s slums in Bleak House is closely related to the "miasma theory" that was quite influential at that time. This theory identified the polluted air as the primary culprit for the "epidemic diseases" and, therefore, promoted the reform of the urban sanitary system during the Victorian era. As an active participant in this reform, Dickens wrote extensively about miasma in Bleak House, aiming to alert the citizens to the urgency of resolving the issues related to urban sanitation. The novel not only delineates the inseparable connection between sanitary living conditions, public health, and moral standards, but also uses "epidemic diseases" to explore the interconnectedness and the common destiny among the London residents.
