拯救自我:《五号屠场》在当下的启示

Redemption of Self: the Immediate Messages Conveyed in Slaughterhouse-Five

库特·冯内古特的和平主义思想、虚无主义观念和宿命论信仰弥漫在《五号屠场》的各个层面。他通过对战争、人际交往、时间旅行和外星奇遇等场景的描写阐释了战争与正义、物质与爱情、外星人视阈与人类窘境等方面的关系,抨击了人类的残忍、自私和贪婪,给我们以人生启迪,引导我们重新审视现代的社会和世界。如果人类世界一天没有停止重复《五号屠场》所提及到的悲剧,冯内古特的启示对人类世界的告诫和警示就一天不会失效。

Vonnegut＇s ideas of peace-keeping,nihilism and determinism permeate every scene of Slaughterhouse-Five,making inveigh upon the cruelty,avarice and selfishness of human kinds.Through the depiction of wars,interpersonal relations,time travel and the adventures in the outer space,Vonnegut illustrates the relations between war and justice,materials and love,extraterrestrial vision and human dilemma,enlightens us on our life,and offers us a chance to reexamine our modern society and human world.If the past tragedies of the same sort mentioned in his novel are still repeated again and again,the warning of Vonnegut＇s messages against the human world would never be out-dated.
