《毛格街血案》中的对称叙述包含构成中心的四对相应的语言组。杜宾关键性的推论及其对此的测试构成了小说的中心。这个中心本身是对称的。中心的双重性是由一种模式来突显的;坡似在中心里评论中心;它的对称结构是坡多数作品里的一个识别标志性特征。从某种意义上说,它的成功就在于一种形式,即对称形式的运用。实际上,对称所指的含义则更宽泛些。 The symmetrical narrative in the Maugels Case contains the four pairs of corresponding linguistic groups that make up the center. Dubin’s key inference and its testing of this form the center of the novel. The center itself is symmetrical. The duality of the center is highlighted by a model; it seems to be at the center of the commentary; its symmetry is an identifiable landmark in most works. In a sense, its success lies in a form, the use of symmetry. In fact, the meaning of symmetry is more broadly defined.
