《第22条军规》——小人物永远走不出的陷阱

Catch-22——The Everlasting Trap for Small Potatoes

荒诞派小说《第22条军规》成功地塑造了一批在官僚体制下垂死挣扎却不得而终的小人物形象。正是二十二条军规为小人物的人生设下了永远的陷阱,军规本身的冲突性正是荒诞的象征,体现了位于这样的军规统治下的官僚体制的荒谬腐朽以及当时社会的阴暗丑恶。

The absurdist comedy《Catch-22》successfully figures a set of “small potatoes” struggling for peaceful life but without any outlet, caught in the bureaucratic mechanism . It is just the Catch-22 that sets a lot of traps in the whole life for these small potatoes, which the conflict lying in itself symbolizes absurdity of the mechanism in the society, the insensibility and the abnormality of the whole society.
