种族神话的颠覆——从《太阳照常升起》说起

《太阳照常升起》作为海明威的成名作和代表作,具有永恒的艺术魅力。在20世纪,美国传统种族神话的地位受到了挑战,并且显示出摇摇欲坠的趋势。杰克·巴恩斯作为小说中白人男性的代表在与罗伯特·科恩这个"劣等"犹太人相比较的时候,他在各方面几乎都处于一种尴尬的境地。从这两个人物的身上,我们可以得出结论:在20世纪西方现实生活中白人的种族神话正面临被颠覆的危险。

As Hemingway＇s representative work, The Sun Also Rises has lasting artistic charm. In it, American traditional racial legend faces challenges, showing a tendency of tumbling down. When compared with the ＂inferior＂ Jew Robert Cohn, Jack Barns, the representative white man in the novel, is almost in an embarrassing situation. From this comparison, we can draw the conclusion that the racial legend of the white people in the 20^th- century west is facing the danger of being ruined.
