摘要
海明威的短篇小说《大双心河》有着浓厚的生态美学精神。通过主人公尼克在遭受战争重创以后回归自然、重建心灵家园的经历,海明威巧妙而深刻地揭示了自然环境之于人类心灵的疗伤作用,以及人类和大自然之间的情感共鸣。海明威崇尚回归自然、回归本性,却没有告诉我们当人类实现回归自然后,究竟应该以怎样的态度面对自然。
In his short story Big Two-Hearted River, Ernest Hemingway skillfully demonstrates a profound and beautiful emotional resonance in the natural environment and also discloses the depths of the psychological and existential terrors Nick can barely face, which mostly result from the frightening experience of WWI. Most often read as an anti-war work, the story lends itself equally well to an ecocritical reading. The paper is a reading of the ways in which a fragile mind suffering from war-time trauma attempts to construct new grounds in Nature for a sane existence. In Hemingway’s vision, it is only when humans attempt to re-connect to Nature that can they regain their lost humanity and their spiritual strength. But Hemingway hesitates to direct us in what proper way we shall treat our Nature after back to Nature, which also invokes the author’s further meditation accordingly.
