北岛的“回答”“撞墙”与双重视觉问题

Beidao's Double Vision in “Replies” and “Hitting My Head Against the Wall”

在北岛的诗《回答》中表现出明显的双重视觉:一方面敢于否定真理、逻辑、理性、权威,发出"我不相信"的最强音,显得大气磅礴,一往无前;另一方面又屈从于日常逻辑和一般所谓理性,极力抢占道德制高点,把"冰川纪""好望角""五千年的象形文字"拉来给自己壮胆。同时代其他诗人以及像陀思妥耶夫斯基这样的古典作家,也是"撞墙"与说教并存。造成这种现象的根本原因,首先是言说与接受的困境,其背后则是偶然与必然、自由和权威崇拜之间的矛盾。

Double vision is obvious in Beidao＇s poem ＂Replies＂,a bold vision that defies truth,logic,rationality,and authority,strongly voiced in the verse＂I don＇t believe＂;and a conventional one that yields to everyday reason and logic as an effort to mount the moral height,wherefore＂Cape of Good Hope＂and＂A Script of five thousand years＂are mentioned in the poem.Such phenomenon of the co-existence of the courage to ＂Hit My Head Against the Wall＂and a submission to sermonizing can also be found with his contemporary poets and even with classic authors like Fyodor Dostoevsky.The reason behind lies in the conflicts of contingency and inevitability,and freedom seeking and authority worshiping.
