现代美国文学中的孤独者

The Lonely Figures in Modern American Literature

在反映现代美国社会生活的一面镜子的现代美国文学中 ,有许多这样的人物形象 :他们或是由于不适应或接受不了现代文明社会的虚伪的一面 ,或是因为所处环境的保守、愚昧 ,难以与他人或社会沟通 ,在精神上成了孤岛 ,显得特别孤独、寂寞乃至空虚。从小镇到大城市 ,从普通百姓到高级知识分子 ,他们构成了一组独特的孤独者群像 ,使现代美国文学浸透着悲观主义气息。

In modern American literature,which is a mirror of Ameican social life,there are many such figures:either unable to adapt themselves to nor accept the ugliness of the modern civilization,or because of the conservativeness and foolishness of their surroundings,they cannot communicate with others or the society,they are spiritually isolated and feel very lonely,solitary and empty minded.From small towns to big cities,from ordinary people to intellectuals,they form a typical group of the lonely people,which makes modern American literature full of pessimism.
