D. Salinger really opened my eyes as to how you can weave fiction out of a set of events that seem almost unconnected, or very lightly connected?... ——John Updike (Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist) Salinger‘s first novel, The Catcher in the Rye, became immediately a Book-of-the-Month Club selection and won huge international acclaim称赞. It sells still some 250 000 copies annually. It was published on July 16, 1951. 主人公霍尔顿Holden是个中学生，出身于富裕的中产阶级家庭。他虽只有16岁，但比常人高出一头，整日穿着风雨衣，戴着鸭舌帽，游游荡荡，不愿读书。他对学校里的一切——老师、同学、功课、球赛等等，全都腻烦透了，3次被学校开除。又一个学期结束了，他又因5门功课中4门不及格被校方开除。他丝毫不感到难受。在和同房间的同学打了一架后，他深夜离开学校，回到纽约城，但他不敢贸然回家。当天深夜住进了一家小旅馆。他在旅馆里看到的都是些不三不四的人，有穿戴女装的男人，有相互喷水、喷酒的男女，他们寻欢作乐，忸怩作态，使霍尔顿感到恶心和惊讶。他无聊之极，便去夜总会厮混了一阵。 回旅馆时，心里仍觉得十分烦闷，糊里糊涂答应电梯工毛里斯，让他叫来了一个妓女。妓女一到他又紧张害怕，最后按讲定的价格给了五块钱，把她打发走了。第二天是星期天，霍尔顿上街游荡，遇见两个修女，捐了10块钱。后来他的女友萨丽去看了场戏，又去溜冰。看到萨丽那假情假义的样子，霍尔顿很不痛快，两人吵了一场，分了手。接着霍尔顿独自去看了场电影，又到酒吧里和一个老同学一起喝酒，喝得酩酊大醉。他走进厕所，把头伸进盥洗盆里用冷水浸了一阵，才清醒过来。可是走出酒吧后，被冷风一吹，他的头发都结了冰。他想到自己也许会因此患肺炎死去，永远见不着妹妹菲芘了，决定冒险回家和她诀别。霍尔顿偷偷回到家里，幸好父母都出去玩了。 他叫醒菲芘，向她诉说了自己的苦闷和理想。他对妹妹说，他将来要当一名“麦田里的守望者”。后来父母回来了，他急忙溜出家门，到一个他尊敬的老师家中借宿。可是睡到半夜
