【摘要】：英国19世纪后期作家乔治·吉辛的小说《瑟尔萨》中的男主人公似乎颇受批评家的青睐,而作为小说标题的女主人公瑟尔萨·特伦特却未能得到足够的重视。这似乎与吉辛以瑟尔萨作为小说题名的初衷相悖。如果我们细考小说中多处出现的瑟尔萨的面貌描写,就可对作家的初衷了然不惑。小说旨在以瑟尔萨的容貌变化作为小说结构的一条主线,充分展现其心智发展过程和生活状态,从而质疑工具理性主宰下的现代生活。该主线与以男主人公为中心的另一条主线交织在一起,从文化的视角揭示生活必须关注心智培育,并且向我们提供了一种美好的生活愿景。
[Abstract]:The protagonist in English late 19th century writer George Gisin's novel Sersa seems to be popular with critics, but the heroine Sertha Trent, as the title of the novel, has not received enough attention. This seems contrary to Gisin's original intention of using Thursa as the title of the novel. If we examine the various features of Sersa in the novel, we can understand the original intention of the writer. The purpose of the novel is to take the appearance change of Thursa as the main line of the novel structure, to fully show its mental development process and life state, and thus to question the modern life under the domination of instrumental rationality. The main line is intertwined with another main line centered on the hero, which reveals from the cultural perspective that life must pay attention to the cultivation of the mind, and provides us with a good vision of life.
