摘要：本文认为，传统的刘易斯-斯塔尔纳克反事实语义学中的“强中心”和“弱中心”原则都是错误的。没有这些principles替代语义的基础概述。其核心思想是统计上正常的世界--而不是那些在性质上与实际世界最相似的世界--应该作为语义支点。
Abstract: It is argued that the so-called principles of “strong centering” and “weak centering” central to the traditional Lewis-Stalnaker semantics for counterfactuals are both fallacious. A foundation for an alternative semantics without these prinsciples is outlined. The core idea is that the statistically normal worlds – rather than those worlds most qualitatively similar to the actual world – should serve as the semantical fulcrum.
