此间的少年——《麦田里的守望者》与《城北地带》比较

The Youth——The Comparison of The Catcher in the Rye and The North Zone

在塞林格《麦田里的守望者》与苏童《城北地带》中,两位作家分别对少年形象的塑造和年轻人生命景观的书写呈现出相似的维度和不同的张弛力度。霍尔顿与南方"街头少年"虽然在生理年龄和心理精神方面有着相似性,但他们却以不同的方式应对在与现实世界的冲撞中产生的心灵孤独。"父亲"形象的缺位安排则暗示了少年们对成人世界的对抗与反叛,而在书写人性中可贵、脆弱的美与温情这一层面,两部作品亦呈现出守望与毁灭的不同姿态。

In The Catcher in the Rye by Salinger and The North Zone by Su Tong, the mold of teenager images and the description of the life landscape of young people display similar dimensions and different relaxation degrees. Holden and southern ＂street youth＂ have some similarities in such aspects as their physiological age and psychological spirit, but they deal with the psychic loneliness from the collision with the real world in different ways. The arrangement of the absence of the ＂Father＂ image implies the teenagers＇ rebellion against the adult world. And in the writing of the vulnerable beauty and warmth of human nature, the two works also present the different attitudes as watching and destructing.
