力透纸背的苍凉——《永别了,武器》的美学意蕴

Penetrating Desolation——Aesthetic Connotations of A Farewell to Arms

《永别了,武器》力透纸背的苍凉表现在方方面面,无论是叙述方式,还是景物描写、人物描写,无论是战争与死亡描写,还是爱情与性描写,一切都冷静而客观,没有热度和温度,显示出一种切骨的苍凉。形成的原因当然很多,既与作者早年的战争经历有关,也与作者写作时的心境有关,还与作者的艺术追求有关。苍凉比"迷惘的一代"、"虚无主义"等标签更贴近文本和作者写作时的实际情况,蕴含着极为深刻的美学内涵。

Penetrating desolation in A Farewell to Arms manifests itself in many ways. Whether in narrative mode or scenery description or characterization, or about war and death description or depiction of love and sex, everything is calm and objective, without heat and warmth, showing a deeply ingrained sense of desolation. There are of course a number of different reasons for this. The major factor contributing to desolation in the novel is the writer＇s early experiences of war. This desolation is related to Hemingway＇s mental state while writing as well. The writer＇s artistic pursuit is also a relevant element. Desolation is much closer than labels such as ＇the lost generation＇ and ＇nihilism＇ to the text and the actual situation of Hemingway creating this work, which contains extremely profound aesthetic connotations.
