塞林格与苏童:少年形象的书写与创造

J. D. Salinger and Su Tong:The Writing and Creating of Juvenile Images

塞林格的小说塑造了许多少年人物形象,展现了少年孤独与寂寞的心灵、矛盾的性态度,以及热衷于探索生命的价值与意义的青春心理。塞林格还从少年的价值立场出发,批判成人世界的庸俗与虚伪,表达了少年追求自由与纯洁的理想。在叙事形式上,塞林格采用了少年叙事视角,以及俚语、意象性语言来塑造少年形象。塞林格给了苏童创作灵感。苏童无论在小说艺术形式上,还是在表现少年青春心理的具体内容上,都承继了塞林格。但是,苏童也有所创造,他笔下的少年形象是特定的社会历史文化背景的反映。不仅如此,苏童还注重吸收中国传统语言特点来刻画少年形象。因此,苏童所创造的少年形象,与塞林格既相似又有所超越。

Salinger＇ s novel creates a number of juvenile characters, specifically to show the juvenile＇ s lonely soul, and the conflicting attitudes of sex, keen to explore the the youth＇ s value of life. Salinger criticizes the vulgarity and hypocrisy of the adults＇ world from the value standpoint of the juvenile, so as to express juvenile＇ s pursuit of freedom and pure ideal. In narrative form, Salinger adopts juvenile narrative perspective, as well as their slang, image and language to shape the image of the youth. Salinger＇ s creation inspirited Su Tong. The artistic vels and his representastion of the youth＇ s psychology demonstoate Salinge form of Su Tong＇ s nor＇s influence. However, Su Tong has his own creation, the juvenile image in his works is the inflection of a specific social and historical cultural background. Not only that, Su Tong also portrays juvenile images by absorbing linguistic characteristics of the traditional Chinese. Therefore, juvenile images created by Su Tong are similar to but beyond Salinger＇ s.
