叙述、认识;爱情与谎言——从多变的视角解读艾丽斯·麦克德莫特的《迷人的比利》

Narration,Cognition,Love and Lie——To understand Medermott’s“Charming Billy”from varied visual field

《迷人的比利》以认识为主题,以不断变化的视角着力展现叙述者对比利、爱情和谎言等对象的认识过程,可以说认识本身就是它的主题。然而认识的过程却是艰难而又复杂的。认识不仅因人而异,而且认识只能借助并局限于一定的视角,认识的变化在很大程度上取决于视角的变化。本文作者巧妙地把握住叙述,视角,认识,爱情与谎言之间的过程关系,揭示了作品的深层内涵。

Charming Billy regards cognition as its theme,trying to show us the narrator`s process of cognition towards Billy,love and lie.We may say that cognition itself is its theme.But the process of cognition is hard and complicated. Different people have different cognition,and it can only depend upon a fixed visual field,the change of cognition mostly depends on the change of visual field.The author cleverly masters the relation between narration,visual field ,cognition,love and lie and subtly delineates the inner intension.
