温和的反叛——再议《幸运的吉姆》

Mild Rebellion——Another Discussion about Lucky Jim

"愤怒的青年"的代表作家金斯利.艾米斯的代表作《幸运的吉姆》向高雅文化、精英文化发起了挑战。主人公吉姆对高雅文化的反叛,尤其是他在"可爱的英格兰"演讲会上对文化精英的嘲讽令读者忍俊不禁,拍案叫绝。而当我们深入研究吉姆对高雅文化的反叛时,可以发现,吉姆的反叛是温和的,而非直接的、彻底的。

Lucky Jim, the masterpiece of the representative writer of The ＂Angry Young Men＂, Kingsley Amis, challenges the high and elite culture. The hero Jim＇s rebellion against high culture, especially his satire on the elite in ＂Merry England＂ lecture makes the readers laugh and begin to admire him. But when we do some further research on Jim＇s rebellion against high culture, we can see that Jim＇s rebellion is mild, rather than direct and thorough.
