Context 语境

'An Inspector Calls' was first published in 1945, after World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War 2 (1939-1945). But the story is set in 1912, before World War 1 and World War 2 began.

'An Inspector Calls' was first performed in the UK just after the end of World War Two, in 1946. It was a time of great change in Britain and many writers were concerned with the welfare of the poor. At that time there was no assistance for people who could not afford to look after themselves. Priestley (the author) wanted to address this issue.

《探长来访》首次出版于 1945 年，即第一次世界大战（1914-1918 年）和第二次世界大战（1939-1945 年）之后。但故事发生在 1912 年，即第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战开始之前。

《探长来访》于 1946 年第二次世界大战结束后不久在英国首次演出。当时英国发生了巨大变化，许多作家都关心穷人的福利。当时，没有能力照顾自己的人得到任何援助。普里斯特利（作者）想解决这个问题。他还认为，如果人们更加体谅彼此，那么所有人的生活质量都会提高。这就是为什么社会责任是该剧的一个关键主题。普里斯特利希望他的观众对自己的行为负责，对他人的福利负责。
