周作人降日心态图说

A Psychological Interpretation of Zhou Zuoren's Surrender to Japan

对周作人而言,自1935年发表《秦桧与岳飞》至1945年8月日本宣布无条件投降,这是十年心灵的炼狱,周作人明明知道降日是不归路,有可能一旦落水,万劫不复;但是他拒绝不了诱惑,一步一步堕入了深渊。必须承认在这炼狱的十年中,周作人心态的复杂性。

As far as Zhou Zuoren was concerned,the decade beginning with the publication in 1935 of Qin Kui and Yue Fei and ending with the Japanese announcement of unconditional surrender in August 1945 was an abyss of spiritual misery.Despite his complete knowledge of his surrender to Japan as a road of no return allowing no comeback once embarked on,he failed to refuse temptations and slid into the abyss step by step.It should be acknowledged that he suffered from a complicated state of mind during the ten years of misery.
