病态与完美:《射手》之谜

Sickness and Perfection: Mystery of A Shooter

美国心理学家马斯洛认为,人类追求完美人格,但是当人类的任一需要受挫时又呈"病态"反应。从某种意义上说,这种"个人疾病"与"社会的某种疾病"存在一定的关系。散文《射手》描写的是一位出身高贵、社会地位显赫、"品格高尚"的美国大律师在狩猎中虚荣心的表现。运用马斯洛的需求层次论来解读《射手》并探寻"射手"虚荣心的病态反应的根源所在,同时指出"射手"的"个人疾病"与"社会某种疾病"相关联的证据。通过《射手》这篇浅显、明白、生动、语调略带嘲讽的散文,领略威廉·科贝特写作艺术的完美呈现。

American psychologist,A·H ·Maslow,put forward that the human being pursues for a perfect personality. However,he would turn to be ＂stiff response＂when he encounters any setback. In a sense,such kind of response has a relation to ＂some sort of social disease＂. William Cobbett＇s A Shooter is a description of the exposure of an American barrister＇s conceit through shooting. The paper emphasizes on exploring the root of the shooter＇s conceit by Hierarchy of Need Theory,and shows the evidence of the relationship between one＇s own sickness and the certain social sickness,and enjoys the perfection of Cobbett＇s writing technique.
