论张爱玲散文中的死亡意识

A study of the death consciousness in Eileen Chang's prose

死亡意识是指从生命本能出发对死亡的恐惧及由之引发对生的焦虑。本质上,它是一种人类自我意识的觉醒,对死亡的恐惧和焦虑促使人们对生命更关注、依恋和尊重。对死亡的认知在某种程度上影响着作家生活的态度行为及创作倾向。张爱玲的散文,记述了她的两次死亡体验与人生观的形成过程,世俗化人生观中体现出她强烈的死亡意识。

Death instinct lies deep in the bottom of one's heart, being his sub-consciousness, and it incarnates differently in the consciousness. A sensitive writer usually has a more intensive death consciousness than the average people have. Eileen Chang's prose reflects her two personal death experiences and represents the formation process of her attitude towards the world, which shows a strong death consciousness.
