浅析詹姆斯·希尔顿《消失的地平线》中的宗教话语（英文）

Analysis of the Religious Discourse Hidden in James Hilton's Lost Horizon

詹姆斯·希尔顿在其小说《消失的地平线》中缔造了香格里拉这么一个多种宗教共存并相互取长补短的政教合一的理想圣地,并且作品中不乏作家对中国儒家思想的溢美之词。通过对作家宗教话语的深刻解读,文章认为希尔顿力图将中国的儒家思想作为有力的思想武器来实现其社会变革和文化批判的目的,由此可以看出作家从文学作品的想象和虚构过渡到期待社会政治变革所做出的努力。

In Lost Horizon,English writer James Hilton creates Shangri-la,a fictionalized society of alliance between church and state,where a variety of religions coexist with each other,making up for their deficiencies by drawing on each other's merits.The writer's fulsome compliments on Chinese Confucianism reveals the great effort Hilton has made from the literary imagination and fiction to social political expectation and transformation,applying Confucianism as an ideological weapon to achieve social transformation and cultural criticism.
