“在更安全的世界养育更好的一代”:——再论《洛丽塔》的道德主题

“Bringing up a Better Generation in a Safer World”:A Re-exploration of the Morality of Lolita

作为一部"虚构美国"的文学作品,《洛丽塔》包含了纳博科夫对20世纪中期美国社会各方面现状的精确把握与深刻批判。纳博科夫充分发挥了"恋童癖"话题的道德敏感性,以高超的叙事技巧一再刺痛读者被娱乐文化麻木的道德神经,以洛丽塔的悲剧直观地展现了美国当时不断膨胀的大众文化对学校教育与儿童成长环境的全面冲击。

lolita, a literary work of ＂fictitious America＂, contains Nabokov＇s accurate observations and profound critiques of various aspects of the American society in the mid-20th century. Making full use of people＇ s moral sensitivity to the ＂pedophilia＂ topic and his superb narration techniques, Nabokov stirred the readers＇ moral sense numbed by modern entertainment culture, and took Lolita＇ s tragedy as a miniature of the booming mass culture＇ s extensive destruction on the American school system and children education.
