印度四月的炎热常常被误认为夏天的到来。当然，虽然很难想象，但六月、七月和八月的恐惧仍然距离我们还有一段距离。 1884年的一天，19岁的拉迪亚德·吉卜林坐下来给他的姨妈伊迪丝·麦克唐纳写了一封信，话题是一个熟悉的话题：虽然你在七千英里外，但我不介意告诉你，已经出现了零星霍乱病例，而且，自从我们上次发生霍乱疫情以来，已经是第三个年头了，我们期待着稍后的节日。 （平尼，1990-2004 年，第一卷，第 61 页）
The heat of an April day in India can often be mistaken for the arrival of summer. But of course, although hard to imagine, the dread of June, July and August is still some way away. On such a day in 1884, the 19-year-old Rudyard Kipling sat down to write a letter to his aunt, Edith Macdonald, on a familiar topic:As you are seven thousand miles away, I don’t mind telling you that there has been a case of sporadic cholera already and, as this is the third year since we had the last epidemic, we are anticipating a festive season later on. (Pinney, 1990-2004, vol. i, p. 61)
