对于《在城崎》中的生死观之再解读

A Re-interpretation on the View of Life and Death in In Kinosaki

首先,《在城崎》作为日本“心境小说”的典型,无论在日本还是在中国都有着极高的声誉,但是对它的解读容易阈于文本而失之全面。事实上,在表现作者的生死观上,作品中三个小动物的死亡现场的描述结构并不是松散的,是具有承继关系的。其次,作者的生死观并不是对于孤立的封闭的个体生命的思考,而是体现了作者对于个体生命之于周边以及人类族群之间的意义的思考。最后,小说体现的整体态度是积极向上的。志贺直哉以巧妙的布局将复杂的哲思融进了小说的叙述中,极具日本特色,同时也有东方特色。

As a representative of“Shinkyoshosetsu”,In Kinosaki has a high reputation both in Japan and in China,but it is easy to interpret it from merely the text level and have an incomplete understanding of it.In the expression of the author’s view of life and death,the description structure of the death scenes about the three animals in the work is not loose,but follows a successive order.Moreover,the author’s view of life and death is not about isolated and closed individual life,but reflects the author’s thinking about the meaning of individual life to others and among human groups.Last but not least,the overall attitude of the novel is positive.Shiga Naoya combines complex philosophies into the narrative of the novel,featuring both Japanese and oriental characteristics.
