【摘要】：哈罗德·品特于1978年创作的《背叛》是一部关于婚姻出轨的伦理剧。剧中杰瑞与爱玛之间的"婚外情"揭示出人是一个斯芬克斯因子的存在,体现出理性意志、自由意志和非理性意志之间的伦理冲突。因"欲"而起的"婚外情"是其自由意志没有得到抑制、摆脱道德责任的非理性意志占据上风的结果。激情过后,自由意志的力量渐渐减弱,理性的回归成为必然。杰瑞的归家选择是其伦理意识回归的表现,其间,理性意志起到了关键性的作用。通过"倒叙"的叙事结构,作者将剧中"婚外情"行为还原至20世纪六十年代及七十年代后期两个不同时代的伦理现场,对之加以客观呈现,说明意志冲突导致或抑制"婚外情"的原因是在不同的伦理语境中形成的。这部剧作对于当代中国构建和谐的婚姻伦理关系也有着重要的道德警示作用。
[Abstract]:Harold Pinter's "betrayal" in 1978 is an ethical play about marital infidelity. The extramarital affair between Jerry and Emma reveals that man is the existence of a Sphinx factor, reflecting the ethical conflict between rational will, free will and irrational will. The extramarital affair arising from desire is the result of the unrestrained free will and the superiority of irrational will to get rid of moral responsibility. After passion, the strength of free will gradually wanes, the rational return becomes inevitable. Jerry's choice of home is the return of his ethical consciousness, during which rational will plays a key role. Through the narrative structure of "flashback", the author restores the behavior of "extramarital affair" to the ethical scene of two different times in the 1960s and late 1970s, and presents it objectively. It shows that the cause of the conflict of will to cause or suppress extramarital affairs is formed in different ethical contexts. This play also plays an important moral warning role in the construction of harmonious marriage ethical relationship in contemporary China.
