挣脱现代生活的羁绊——《弗朗西斯·麦康伯短促的幸福生活》中成长的硬汉形象分析

Breaking the Fetters of Modern Life

《弗朗西斯·麦康伯短促的幸福生活》是海明威一篇独特的小说,精心刻画了一位挣脱现代生活的种种羁绊而成长起来的硬汉形象。前期的麦康伯有钱却懦弱,显露出性格上的胆怯与人格上的卑劣,展现了战后"迷惘"时期表面的浮华和喧嚣,金钱的腐蚀与欲望的诱惑构筑起生存的陷阱,让人失去了尊严与自由。转变后的麦康伯勇敢而独立,认识到只有那些直面命运的悲剧而保持优雅风度的个体才能洞察到生命的本质与价值,成为现代生活中真正的英雄。

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, a unique novel written by Hemingway, carefully por- trayed a character who broke all kinds of fetters of modem life and grew up as a tough guy. As a wealthy but cowardly businessman in the previous stage ,Macomber showed his timid character and despicable personality, which revealed the superficial noisy and luxurious life during the Lost period after war, the temptation of mon- ey and the corrosion of desire built a trap of survival, making people lose their dignity and freedom. After the change, Macomber became brave and independent, recognizing that only those individuals who face the tragedy of destiny and maintain grace can really know the essence and value of life and become the real heroes of modem life.
