从《两列火车飞驰》看奥古斯特·威尔逊对美国黑人困境的反思

Auguste Wilson's reflection to the plight of black Americans from “the two trains hurtling”

奥古斯特·威尔逊虽然将《两列火车飞驰》的时间背景设定在二十世纪六十年代,但他关注的不是轰轰烈烈的黑人革命运动和那些革命英雄,突显的也不是黑人和白人的种族冲突,而是聚焦普通美国黑人以及他们的日常生活。借此,威尔逊表达了他对当代美国黑人生活困境的反思,从黑人社区的分崩离析、经济的不能自主和民族内部的自相残杀三个方面指出当代美国黑人对自己的处境负有一定责任。

Although Auguste Wilson set the time background of 'the two trains hurtling' at the 1960 s, but what he concerns is not about black revolutionary movement and the revolutionary hero, nor is highlighted ethnic conflict in black and white, but focus on ordinary black Americans and their daily life. Whereby Wilson expressed his reflections to the plight of contemporary black American life, from the collapse of the black community, and economic not independent and internal kill three aspects points out that contemporary American blacks to blame themselves.
