The value of implementing literature in medical education is widely accepted. The initial responses of medical students to Thomas Mann's short story The Black Swan are described and their resources for making sense of the story are presented. Their written responses revealed that the students interpreted the story mainly through a medical framework and were capable of understanding the story's complex and existential issues related to medicine. Evident gaps in the students' interpretations and understanding are discussed and suggestions on using such kinds of intellectual texts in medical teaching are offered.
在医学教育中实施文学作品的价值已得到广泛认可。本文描述了医学生对托马斯·曼的短篇小说《黑天鹅》的初步反应，并展示了他们理解该故事的资源。他们的书面回应表明，学生们主要通过医学框架来解读这个故事，并且能够理解与医学相关的复杂且关乎生存的问题。文中讨论了学生解读和理解中明显存在的差距，并就如何在医学教学中使用这类思想性文本提出了建议。
