摘要
19世纪出现了全球范围的冰贸易,其以北美为中心,包含北美大陆内部贸易、北美—拉丁美洲贸易、北美—欧洲贸易与北美—印度贸易等多个线路,挪威—西欧贸易也有一定规模,其中较为有特色的是美印之间的冰贸易。美印冰贸易的起点是新英格兰,终点是印度的加尔各答等港口,对印、美两国都产生了重要影响。亨利·戴维·梭罗在1845年到1847年间隐居在瓦尔登湖,而这正是美印冰贸易蓬勃发展的时期。他亲眼见证了当时瓦尔登湖上冰的采集情况,并在《瓦尔登湖》中作了记录。《瓦尔登湖》具有重要的史料价值,其中的记叙蕴含着全球史研究的元素:瓦尔登湖的冰被采集后运送到波士顿,经过跨洋之旅最终成为印度市场上的重要商品。
During 19 centuries,the global ice trade was emerged in North America.The Ice trade included several different routes;the intracontinental trade of North America,the trade between North and Latin America,the trade between North America and Europe,and the trade between North America and India.The Norway-Western Europe trade also had a certain scale.Among them,the more characteristic is the ice trade between the United States and India.The U.S.-India ice trade,which started in New England and ended in Indian ports like Calcutta,had an important influence on India and United State in 19 centuries.Henry David Thoreau lived by the Walden Pond from 1845 to 1847,which is the time when the U.S.-India ice trade was booming.Thoreau witnessed the collection of ice from Walden Pond and recorded it in his book Walden.Walden is of great historical value,and its narrative contains elements of global historical research:the ice from Walden Lake was collected,transported to Boston,and eventually became an important commodity in the Indian market after a transoceanic journey.
