《一个自行发完病毒的病例》主题刍议

A Discussion of the Theme in A Burnt-out Case

英国作家格雷厄姆.格林的长篇巨作《一个自行发完病毒的病例》是一部充斥着众多"矛盾"的作品:小说主角奎利想去遥远的非洲茫茫森林之中葬送自己,然而在葬送奎利自身的过程中,他大彻大悟且逐渐想去寻觅自己;奎利不管是在葬送自己,还是在找寻自己的那个艰辛和漫长的过程之中,其言语都表现出了他那种暴力和软弱的多重性格;神秘莫测的非洲大陆广阔无垠的茂密森林预示着衰落和灭亡,但也给人一种对美好未来的憧憬和期盼。以上众多矛盾构成了一个让人感到非常神奇的格林之原:放逐与找寻的合二为一,找寻和被找寻的对立合一,莽原和绿原的合二为一,信仰和理智的对立合一。

A Burnt-out Case the masterpiece by English author Graham Greene is one work filled with numerous 'contradictions'.Querry was intended to bury himself in remote and vast African forests,but he totally found himself during the buried process.His rough and feeble split personality was shown in his words.Decline and destruction was looming ahead in mysterious African land and vast and thick forest that also indicated a wonderful future.These contradictions formed a wonderland: a unity of expatriation and pursuit,a unity of opposites between pursuit and the being-pursued,oneness of heather and grassland,and integrity of faith and reason.
