美丽新世界的孤儿——《千万别让我走》和《美丽新世界》的对比

The Orphans of the Beautiful New World:"Don't let me go" and "Beautiful New World"

日裔英国作家石黑一雄2005年发表的《千万别让我走》以克隆技术为背景,描述了人类培育克隆人为其捐献器官的故事,从侧面揭示了科技滥用和极权统治的暴力带来的严重恶果。本文从对比研究的角度,试分析《千万别让我走》和阿道司·赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》,进而揭示科技极权下人类的价值取向和心理重塑,分析其人格异化性。本文认为反乌托邦小说的现实意义就在于关注社会现实问题,倡导精神价值追求,合理利用科技造福人类。

Japanese British writer Ishihiro Ishikio published "Don't Let me go" in 2005. In the context of cloning techniques, the story of human beings breeding cloned human beings and donating organs for them is described. From the perspective of comparative research, this paper tries to analyze "Don't let me go" and Aldous Huxley's "the Beautiful New World". Then it reveals the value orientation and psychological remolding of human being under the totalitarianism of science and technology, and analyzes the alienation of personality. This paper holds that the practical significance of the dystopian novel lies in paying attention to the social reality and advocating the pursuit of spiritual value. The rational use of science and technology for the benefit of mankind.
