读《麦田里的守望者》有感
读完《麦田里的守望者》,轻轻合上书,心中似乎有一种无法言说的东西,在阅读这部作品的原版时,我不像之前看《呼啸山庄》时,感觉它的语言有多美好,或是发现它运用了很多写作技巧,我只是一直在体会其中主人公霍尔顿细腻的思想。其实对我来说那些华丽的辞藻,精妙的写作技巧本身就没那么重要,我更看重的是作品传达的一种思想。
《麦田里的守望者》故事很简单:一个屡被学校开除的少年,以自述的口吻,讲述了自己在纽约街头游荡了两天的经历。他或在街头流浪,或在小客栈和夜总会中出没,见到了形形色色的人。他本性善良,却孤独愤世,在他眼中成人世界极端虚伪,无法信任。他唯一的老师是个同性恋,校长虚伪势利,“假模假式”成为他指称这些成人的专用词。他讨厌沉迷女色和酒精的人,自己却酗酒、抽烟、打架,甚至找妓女。他不想过浑浑噩噩的日子,但又找不到出路。最后,只能以这种自我放逐的方式,逃离学校与父母。
我很早就想要看这本书的,当时只是听说它很有名,而且,这个书名很吸引我。我从这个书名似乎就能感受到一种独特的,荒凉或者荒谬的味道。那时候我还不知道它的原名是 Catcher in the Rye,美国当代畅销小说,饱受争议,因为文中设计的粗话、暴力、性,青春期的叛逆疯狂。
看的英文原版,第一次看到这样风格的英文。以一个青春期男孩的角度叙述,佩服作者语气模仿得很像。我仿佛真的听到一个焦躁敏感、既有痞子气又有点神经质的大男孩在我面前絮絮叨叨。他憎恨他的学校,讨厌他的同学、老师,一切,他满口脏话,他打假、逃学、逛酒吧、泡妹妹、骗父母--他的确干尽了坏事,如他老师说的,他正坠落深渊,快要走上一条不归路。然而,我又不得不同情他。他的狂躁不安,似乎是不知来源的,难以摆脱的--青春期特有的坎,每个人或多或少都感受过的,不明所以的孤独痛苦迷茫不满。他鄙视大人世界的虚伪势力,连他的同龄人在他眼里也大多是虚伪肤浅的,他根本不想与他们为伍。但他又不得不和他们在一起,因为害怕孤独。他幻想自己跑到西部某个小镇,装聋作哑,不用应付那些虚伪的对话,娶一个聋哑的本地姑娘,把孩子都藏到不见人的山里,自己在家里教他们读书。他自己其实也还是个孩子,但却爱装大人。他把小孩子看作纯洁的天使,所以说起最想做的事,是在成百上千小孩子嬉戏的麦田里,站在边缘,接住那些跑错方向要跌落的小孩。他全身上下充满莫名的焦躁不满,身边的一切都被他咒骂。但是,他并非没有爱。他怀念死去的弟弟,极其呵护家中的小妹,挂念着青梅竹马的女孩,觉得喜欢她不是因为她长得好看(事实上,他却一直没联系上她,而是和那个漂亮但肤浅地女孩约会了)。谈论起性他说认为必须以爱为前提不是和任何人都能做,他鄙视那些玩弄女孩子的男生,他甚至发出对女性的同情,认为她们无法掌握自己地命运最终嫁给那些虚伪无趣、不懂得珍惜他们的男人。路上遇到两个修女,他无论如何要给她们捐款。想起早逝的弟弟,他无限赞美遗憾,甚至为一次没有答应带他一起玩而万分内疚。即使决定逃跑,他也不惜一切代价要先回家看看妹妹,他不停地夸她多么可爱聪明,最后也是为了她,他决定不出走了,回家。
结尾,别人都离开了,他在大雨中看着妹妹坐在旋转木马上转阿转,很开心。似乎是第一次,他说自己开心。在整本书的冰冷、黑暗、苦闷、愤恨、不安、恐惧、孤独、叛逆之后,我终于看到一点亮色。那时他大概正是在做自己最想做的事吧。麦田里的守望者,不是什么浪漫事。我想到各个角落的“不良少年”,都是被青春沦陷的一群可怜的孩子。他们是否也被无端的愤怒不满孤独侵袭?他们是否也打架落的满脸的血却毫不在意?他们是否也在寒冷的深夜独自徘徊在城市街头?谁带他们回家?
最后是我对这部作品主题思想的一些个人见解。Themes:
1、The Painfulne of Growing Up
According to most analyses, The Catcher in the Rye is a bildungsroman, a novel about a young character’s growth into maturity.While it is appropriate to discu the novel in such terms, Holden Caulfield is an unusual protagonist for a bildungsroman because his central goal is to resist the proce of maturity itself.As his thoughts about the Museum of Natural History demonstrate, Holden fears change and is overwhelmed by complexity.He wants everything to be easily understandable and eternally fixed, like the statues of Eskimos and Indians in the museum.He is frightened because he is guilty of the sins he criticizes in others, and because he can’t understand everything around him.But he refuses to acknowledge this fear, expreing it only in a few instances—for example, when he talks about sex and admits that “sex is something I just don’t understand.I swear to God I don’t”(Chapter 9).Instead of acknowledging that adulthood scares and mystifies him, Holden invents a fantasy that adulthood is a world of superficiality and phonine, while childhood is a world of innocence, curiosity, and honesty.Nothing reveals his image of these two worlds better than his fantasy about the catcher in the rye: he imagines childhood as an idyllic field of rye in which children romp and play;adulthood, for the children of this world, is equivalent to death—a fatal fall over the edge of a cliff.His created understandings of childhood and adulthood allow Holden to cut himself off from the world by covering himself with a protective armor of cynicism.But as the book progrees, Holden’s experiences, particularly his encounters with Mr.Antolini and Phoebe, reveal the shallowne of his conceptions.2、The Phonine of the Adult World “Phonine,” which is probably the most famous phrase from The Catcher in the Rye, is one of Holden’s favorite concepts.It is his catch-all for describing the superficiality, hypocrisy, pretension, and shallowne that he encounters in the world around him.In Chapter 22, just before he reveals his fantasy of the catcher in the rye, Holden explains that adults are inevitably phonies, and, what’s worse, they can’t see their own phonine.Phonine, for Holden, stands as an emblem of everything that’s wrong in the world around him and provides an excuse for him to withdraw into his cynical isolation.Though oversimplified, Holden’s observations are not entirely inaccurate.He can be a highly insightful narrator, and he is very aware of superficial behavior in those around him.Throughout the novel he encounters many characters who do seem affected, pretentious, or superficial—Sally Hayes, Carl Luce, Maurice and Sunny, and even Mr.Spencer stand out as examples.Some characters, like Maurice and Sunny, are genuinely harmful.But although Holden expends so much energy searching for phonine in others, he never directly observes his own phonine.His deceptions are generally pointle and cruel and he notes that he is a compulsive liar.For example, on the train to New York, he perpetrates a mean-spirited and needle prank on Mrs.Morrow.He’d like us to believe that he is a paragon of virtue in a world of phonine, but that simply isn’t the case.Although he’d like to believe that the world is a simple place, and that virtue and innocence rest on one side of the fence while superficiality and phonine rest on the other, Holden is his own counter-evidence.The world is not as simple as he’d like and needs it to be;even he cannot adhere to the same black-and-white standards with which he judges other people.
