姐妹倆》(The Sisters),愛爾蘭作家喬伊斯短篇小說,發表於1904年8月13日,筆名為Stephen Dædulus,收錄於《都柏林人》一書。


1895年7月1日詹姆斯·福林神父因第三次中風死於癱瘓。“我”是故事中的主角,他的舅媽帶他去去哀悼死者。到達現場時,“太陽已經下山了;但是房子西向的玻璃窗仍然映照著鑲著金黃邊的大片雲朵。”舅媽就緊緊握住蘭妮的雙手,表達無限的哀傷。主角假裝在禱告,思緒卻無法集中,“彷彿看到老神父正躺在棺材裏對著我微笑”。“他一臉惡相,臉色蒼白,面孔腫大”。後來大家一起在客廳裡喝起小酒,討論後事。後來漸引導出福林神父生前不得志,“因為他打破了那只聖杯”,從此以後,他就悶悶不樂,不和人家打交道……有時“一個人在黑漆漆的懺悔室裏,眼睛睜得大大的,自顧自地發笑著”。艾莉莎繼續說:「眼睛睜得大大的,自顧自地發笑著……於是,當然,他們一見到這一幕,就知道他真的是出了問題……。」
