《战斗的天使》:重现的镜与灯——试论赛珍珠传记作品的虚构性

Fighting Angel:Reoccurrence of mirror and light——On fabrication of Pearl S.Buck's biography works

赛珍珠传记文学代表作《战斗的天使》着力表现了传主安德鲁真实的生活、工作、理想乃至整个精神世界。赛珍珠通过女性主义的立场向人们叙述了传主生命历程与精神信仰的内涵。作者以真实性为前提条件,通过镜像重现传主在华生活的历史轨迹;又结合本人生活体验进行虚构创作,在创作中以旁观者视角深入探寻,叙述了她未曾见证的安德鲁的历史事实。最为重要的是,作品往往采用看似随意、实则有意识的手法,通过"天使""生魂"等"症候性"变形符号表现出来,从而达到了形象塑造的全新高度,最终实现以安德鲁的虚构性内容为依托,展现作家自己内心的广大空间。

As one of Pearl S.Buck＇s representative biography works,＂Fighting Angel＂,highlights the real life description of Andrew,which includes his work,dream and even the whole spirit world depiction.Pearl S.Buck in the position of feminist perspective,illustrated the content of Andrew＇s life trace and Christian beliefs.The writer first reproduced the Andrew＇s real life in China,which is like seeing the image in the mirror;she also created this biography literature,combing her life experience,and made up some details in her point of view to express her father＇s scenes of life with the woman,family and religion＇s attitude that she can＇t experience them.Most of all,the part which the writer deliberately hid by many kinds of symbols,expressed the profound significance.
