论拉斯蒂涅与孙少平的奋斗轨迹

On Struggle Tracks of Rastignac and SUN Shaoping

拉斯蒂涅和孙少平都以自己的人生奋斗书写了一部社会变革时期底层青年实现梦想的励志史。孙少平作为农村知识青年的代表,身处城市与农村的交替地带,不断超越自身的狭隘性,体现了偏僻乡村的平民青年自我实现的追求;拉斯蒂涅则是一个精明、圆滑、狡诈的没落贵族青年,在上流社会如鱼得水、步步高升,逐渐堕落成一个资产阶级野心家。这两个人物及其奋斗历程都有一定的可比性,在社会背景、个人气质上有些许相似,但因不同民族的文化差异,两者的奋斗方式、主观视野以及对待爱情的态度等方面又有诸多差异。

Both Rastignac and SUN Shaoping have written a motivational history with their life struggle in which the youths from the social bottom have brought their dreams into reality during the period of social reform. As a representative of rural educated youths, SUN Shaoping lives in the interface between countryside and city. He has ceaselessly transcended his own parochialism, which shows the pursuit for the selLrealization of an ordinary youth from hackvelder. In contrast, Rastignac is a shrewd, sophisticated and cunning young man of declining aristocrat. He is just like a fish in water and has been promoted steadily in the uppertendom. However, he has gradually degenerated into a bourgeoisie careerist. Both the young men and their life struggle can be compared. They share some similarities in social background and personal temperament. In spite of that, due to the cultural differences, we can find discrepancies between their struggle means, subjective horizon and altitudes toward love.
