翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク The Reluctant Orchid ： ウィキペディア英語版 The Reluctant Orchid "The Reluctant Orchid" is a science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1956,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?56741 )〕 and later anthologized in Tales from the White Hart. Like the rest of the collection, it is a frame story set in the pub "White Hart", where the fictional Harry Purvis narrates the secondary tale. According to the American orchid biologist, Joseph Arditti, Clarke told him that the story was inspired by the H.G. Wells story "The flowering of the Strange Orchid" (1894, ''Pall Mall Budget''), which is mentioned in Clarke's story, about a carnivorous orchid that almost kills the man who buys it at auction.〔Arditti, J. "Orchids in Science Fiction, Mystery and Adventure Stories", ''American Orchid Society Bulletin'', Vol 48 (11) Nov 1979: pp.1122–1126〕 ==Plot== The story narrated by Purvis describes the relationship between a very timid acquaintance of his named Hercules Keating, and Hercules's rather overbearing aunt. Hercules is an orchid fancier, and cultivates obscure varieties of these. On one particular occasion, he comes across a carnivorous orchid, and is nearly killed by it. This inspires him to use it to murder his aunt, whom he hates. However, the aunt tames the orchid, thus deflating the scheme. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Reluctant Orchid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
