摘要
美国女作家玛丽·威尔金斯·弗里曼在其短篇小说《一段好时光》中揭露了消费异化对人们所产生的负面影响。弗里曼通过对女主人公纳西莎的欲望从释放到异化再到失控的全过程的描述,批判了以消费商品符号价值为特征的现代消费主义,诘问了资本主义现代消费模式的合理性,并预见了消费异化时代一旦开启,人们的消费欲望便会变得难以控制。同时,弗里曼在小说中肯定了以勤俭、简朴、理性等为核心的传统价值观在消费主义时代所具有的意义。
In One Good Time,Mary Wilkins Freeman exposes the negative influence of consumption alienation upon human. Through the whole process of the desires being freed,alienated and out of control,which is experienced by the character Narcissa,Freeman criticizes the modern consumption characterized with the consumption of symbol values. She also interrogates the rationality of the modern consumptive pattern and foresees the fact that once the consumption alienation begins,people's consumptive desires may not be kept under control any longer. In addition,in One Good Time Freeman approves of the great significance of traditional values characterized with simplicity,thrift and rationality.
