内容摘要
《无人生还》是著名的英国推理小说作家阿加莎·克里斯蒂的作品，出版于1939年，英国发行时书名为《十个小黑人》，书名来源于一首黑人歌谣，这首童谣在书中也是很重要的情节。在美国发行时本书改名为《无人生还》。该作品是阿加莎·克里斯蒂到目前为止销量最高的作品，全球销量超过一亿册，它更是历史上销量最高的推理小说之一，且一直以来在所有书籍中销量都保持领先水平。在小说中，十个原本素不相识的人分别因为各种原因被邀请到了一个小岛，他们每一个人都犯了谋杀罪并且逃过了法律的制裁。在小岛的第一天用晚餐的时候，留声机响起了一个声音，指控了每一个人的罪行并让他们在小岛上为此付出代价。小岛上只有十个人，因为距离岸边太远，海上又起了风浪，他们不能逃离小岛，最终一个接一个相继死去。那个在每个人屋里的古老的童谣，与死者的死亡方式和顺序惊人地巧合，本书即以歌谣的最后一句为题。本文就这首童谣来分析在这其中所蕴含的隐喻意义。

Abstract
And Then There Were None is a mystery novel by Agatha Christie. It was first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939 as Ten Little Niggers, after the British Negro song which serves as a major plot point. The title was changed to And Then There Were None, for the first American edition. It is Christie's best-selling novel with 100 million sales up to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery ever, and one of the bestsellers of all time. In the novel, ten people are enticed into an island under different pretexts; all have been complicit in the death(s) of other human beings but either escaped justice or committed another act not subject to legal sanction. The guests are charged with their respective “crimes” by a gramophone recording after dinner the first night, and informed that they have been brought to the island to pay for their actions. They are the only people on the island, and cannot escape due to the distance and the inclement weather. One by one, all the ten are killed in turn at the end, in a manner that seems to parallel the ten deaths in the nursery rhyme. The novel was named after the last line of the rhyme. This article is going to analyze the hint insinuate of the nursery rhyme in And Then There Were None.
Key words: And Then There Were None; Agatha Christie; Ten Little Indians; nursery rhyme; hint insinuate
