The Analysis of the Narrative Situation in Mr.Loveday's Little Outing

叙述情境指的是故事和故事叙述者之间的关系,它是叙事文学作品中最基本的又是最复杂的关系。针对英国作家伊夫林.沃的短篇小说《勒弗戴先生的短暂外出》进行的叙事情境分析以具体的文本细节为基础,探讨了讲述与展示这两种手法在作品中的有机结合以及聚焦模式在文本中的刻意变化,以此来研究叙事情境的各个要素在作品中的使用和调控,说明叙事情境作为一种叙事技巧是如何服务于作品的主题表达和阅读效果的。

The narrative situation refers to the relationship between a story and the narrator of the story, which is the most essential but the most complicated relationship in a narrative literary work. The analysis of the short story Mr. Loveday＇s Little Outing by the English novelist Evelyn Waugh, based on the specific details in the text, deals with the ingenious combination of the two modes, that is, telling and showing as well as the deliberate variation of focalization mode so that the employment and deployment of different elements in the narrative situation is put under study. A final conclusion is drawn that the narrative situation, used properly as a narrative technique, can be helpful to the expression of the theme and the strengthening of the reading effect of the work.
