摘 要: 本文从美国犹太作家I B辛格笔下为数不多的自传性短篇小说中选取了四篇进行分析,探讨了作品中犹太移民个体面对美国生活的矛盾和内心痛苦。他们的矛盾和痛苦一方面来自争取生存空间时他人的歧视和排斥,另一方面则来自自我认同的危机。从被歧视、被排斥到潜意识里排斥外界、固守自己的民族特质,犹太移民就这样终身纠缠在这挥之不去的顾此失彼的两难之中。辛格对这个移民群体的美国生活之描述可以引导我们去体察犹太移民走向现代西方文明的心理进程中普遍存在的焦虑。本文最后进一步指出了这种焦虑对现代人反思现代西方文明的意义。 This paper is to select and analyze I.B.Singer’s four autobiographical short stories,with a view to discussing the Jewish immigrants’ inner conflicts and their pains when living in the USA.Their inner conflicts and pains,on one hand,were caused by others’ discrimination and exclusion in their long-term struggling for a living space with other nations,and on the other,rooted in their identity crisis.Discriminated and excluded,the Jewish immigrants swung to reject the outside and stick to their national traits,hence,falling into a lifelong dilemma of attending to the one and losing the other.Singer’s description of their life in the US can lead us to examine the Jewish immigrants’ anxiety complex as they moved into the modern Western world.This paper ends up discussing how the Jews’ anxiety inspires the modern people to reflect on modern Western civilizations.
