论阿诺德·贝内特创作中的乡结

On Arnold Bennett's Homesickness in His Works

阿诺德.贝内特对英格兰中部斯泰福郡的斯托克市五镇有着剪不断、理还乱的情思。在他的笔下,藏匿于英格兰中部的五镇是最美的天造之所,它质朴而贫困,厚重而庸俗,令人厌恶却又有着无形而巨大的磁力。

Arnold Bennett has very strong and complicated homesickness to his native place-the Five Towns. In his works, the Five Towns, situated in the City of Stoke-on-Trent in mid-England, is the most beautiful inhabitation. They are simple but poor, substantial but vulgar, disgusting but attracting with their immense but invisible power.
