《麦田里的守望者》的隐喻研究

Metaphor Study on The Catcher in the Rye

文学是人类的一种形象化的认知和表达方式,其人物、场景、事件都是具象的、图景式的,一个个、一组组生动的意象,都有其寓意,是隐喻性的源概念。《麦田里的守望者》中霍尔顿在潘西中学最后一天的时光,充满了浓浓的仪式意味,是霍尔顿人生面临的一道门槛,一个边界点,隐喻他处在人生成长仪式的"前阈限"时期。

Literature is a visual manner of human cognition and expression. Its characters, scenes and events are concrete and picture-style. Individual and groups of vivid images carry their profound messages and they become the source concept of metaphor. The Catcher in the Rye, Holden’s cast day in Pencey School is full of strong ceremonial meaning, which is a life threshold, a border point Holden must face in his life, and a metaphor that he is in the time of preliminality in his growth.
