Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland(Lewis Carroll):“I’m sure I’m not Ada… for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine doesn’t go in ringlets at all; and I’m sure I can’t be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh! she knows such a very little! Besides, she’s she, and I’m I, and—oh dear, how puzzling it all is!”(作品中多处出现 lost/lose,常与“迷路、迷失自我”相关的语境相连)
The Great Gatsby(F. Scott Fitzgerald):文本中出现 lost 等用法,用来描写人物的迷惘、错失与难以挽回的过去(如对机会、方向与情感的“失去”主题)
