摘要
人类的苦忍能力(humanendurance)和终究战胜苦难的思想,是威廉福克纳(WilliamFaulkner)对人类命运的概括。在他看来,人类存在虽然已有千百万年历史,但仍然时刻在为自身的生存殚精竭虑,流血流汗,他作品中的人物都在苦忍(endure)。本文试图通过对苦忍命题具体表现形式的分析探讨该命题的意义及其影响力。
Human endurance and human beings' eventual overcoming sufferings are William Faulkner's summarization of human fate. In his view, although human beings have had a history of millions upon millions of years of survival, they are now and then racking their brains for their own existence; they are still bleeding and sweating. All the characters in his novels are enduring.
