试论《阿拉比》的写作特点

On the writing features of Araby

乔伊斯在其作品《阿拉比》中,描写了普通都柏林人微不足道的日常生活,生动地展示了各种人物同僵死和瘫痪的社会之间的激烈冲突以及他们失败之后痛苦不堪的精神感受。他运用的象征主义和印象主义手法,使文章生动形象,也使读者感同身受。他以独创的“精神顿悟”,展示了人物瞬间的意识活动和心理转变,从而带给读者对那个时期、那个社会深刻的认识。

In Araby, James Joyce presents a picture of the life of the ordinary people of Dublin, and reveals the fierce conflicts between the characters and the diseased society, and their spiritual sufferings and tortures upon defeat. The use of impressionism and symbolism in his works creates so veracious a picture that his readers soon find themselves in it. His original employment of epiphany gives a full display of the momentary ideological workings and psychological changes of the characters, which helps the readers gain a deep insight into the then times and society.
