多重文化之间的冲突与融合——《霍华德庄园》中的“联结”之解读

The conflict and mixture of multi cultures: a cultural interpretation of Howards end

E.M.福斯特(EdwardMorganForster,1879-1970)是20世纪英国最杰出的小说家之一,他以其深刻的社会良知和清醒的理智在《霍华德庄园》中率先关注英国人"发育不良的心"这一母题,"发育不良的心"的英国人形象也因多重文化的介入而以"物质至上"的"有产业者"的形象呈现在读者面前,这种未能正常发育的心灵和情感促使福斯特呼吁以婚姻的形式作为"联结"的载体来拯救英国人冷漠自私、情感麻木的心灵,给普遍疏离的世界注入温情、睿智和灵魂。

Edward Morgan Forster(1879-1970), a twentieth century English novelist, literary theorist, and essayist, has ranked among the greatest novelists. Starting from his social conscience and sober mind, Forster, in his novels, originated the criticism on the undergrown hearts of the English people in his novels prior to his predecessors. Further more, Forster is desirous to change the logic, and expects a kind of connection. He wishes that, through the connection in different contexts, warmth, intelligence and soul could be infused into the alienated world and the indifferent stubborn hearts could be saved.
