“南北极”:穆时英小说的两种风格

South and North Poles:Two Styles of Mu Shiying's Novels

穆时英的普罗小说和新感觉小说“自身形成了一个南北极” :前者以纯熟的口语、粗犷的笔调表现贫富的对立 ,后者以感觉化的取向展示都市生活的病态与畸形。“南北极”形成的原因在于 :刘呐鸥及其译作《色情文化》的影响 ,时代氛围与穆时英的自由知识分子立场 ,穆时英独特的身世、二重人格以及其确定信仰的缺失。

Mu Shiying's prole novels and neosensualist novels have formed contrast by themselves just like the South and North Poles of the earth.The former embodies the conflict between the poor and the rich with competent colloguialisms and rough intonation;the latter portrays the illness and abnormality of the mordern urban life in his sensuous perspective. The contract results from:the influene of Liu Na'ou and his translation The Culture of Pornography; the surroundings of the times; Mu's standing as a free intellectual; his special career, dual character and lack of faith.
