从《城之崎》看志贺直哉的生死观

Naoya Shiga’s View of Life and Death Revealed in City of Kawasaki

志贺直哉在<城之崎>这篇作品中通过观察3个小动物的死亡,为我们揭示了这样一个主题:"即生与死这个矛盾体并非是相互对立的两极关系,而是从属于一个生命主体的两个不同的组成部分.而且两者之间的差距并非是遥不可及的."也就是说生与死的界限并不是泾渭分明的.假如我们把这个生命的特性视为真理,那么我们不得不承认人的生命始终处于一种不确定性之中.而这种生命的不确定性正是<城之崎>这篇作品的魅力所在.同时它也为我们读者探索作者的生死观提供了一条重要的线索.

In City of Kawasaki,Shiga Naoya,by watching the death of three small animals,revealed that there should not be any contra-diction between life and death,but rather they are the two components of life,and the gap between life and death is not distant.In other words,there is no clear boundary between life and death.If we consider these two characteristics of life to be the truth,then we have to admit that life is always in a state of uncertainty.This uncertainty is exactly the charm of the 'the city of Kawasaki'.It also provides an important clue for readers to explore the philosophy of life and death.
