再谈苏联文学对当代中国文学的影响

Russian Literature's Influence on Contemporary Chinese Literature Reconsidered

苏联文学对当代中国作家产生了广泛的影响,这是不争的事实。论及这种影响,人们往往从影响的正面性和负面性两方面加以界定。不可否认,苏联作家对当代中国作家的影响的确包含了积极与消极两个方面的因素。但是,那些所谓的消极影响之中同时也包含着当代中国作家作为影响的接受者自身的因素。不少当代中国作家作为创作主体,丧失了创作的主体意识。自由意志的缺乏导致他们对苏联文学的片面和扭曲的接受。这是当代中国文学的遗憾,亦是值得总结的经验教训。

The influence of Russian literature on contemporary Chinese writing is a fact.As is also known,the influence is both positive and negative.This essay argues that contemporary Chinese writers have imitated Russian literature and grafted its elements on to their own literary tradition,without sighting what the Russian writers respect as free will.By exploring how they have misread Russian literature,the essay further maintains that so many negative effects of the influence are partially due to their biased interpretations and distorted portrayals of Russian literature.
