婚姻内外的尊严——解读海伦·加纳的《荣誉》

The Dignity in and out of Marriage——Decode The Honor by Helen Garner

荣誉和尊严对每个人都很重要。本文探讨澳大利亚著名女作家的作品《荣誉》,分析被弃的妻子和新妻子之间从自傲,妒忌,到克服作为"敌人"观念上和感情上的压力走到一起的过程,这个过程也是她们维护个人尊严的过程。最后,两位妻子的关系在独立于丈夫之外达到平衡。此时,情感和尊严的支撑点不是男人,而是女儿。

Honor and dignity are of great importance to everyone, especially to women. This essay analyzes the relationship be- tween the divorced-wife and the new wife in The Honor by Australian female writer Helen Garner： how they abandon their pride and jealousy, how they alleviate their emotional and conceptual pressure, and how they accept each other as friends in the course of defen- ding their own honors. Finally, the two wives gain balanced communication where the supporting point is the daughter rather than the man.
