2 -摘 要美国作家舍伍德·安德森是美国文学史上一位具有重要地位的作家，其代表作《小城畸人》的出版为他带来了很高的声誉与广泛的认同。同时也吸引了众多学者和评论家关于作者及其作品的各种研究和评论。本文以众多学者及评论家对舍伍德·安德森的代表作《小城畸人》的各种理解为基础，通过对书中具有代表性的短篇小说进行详细的分析和阐释，以其所表现的生命深处的孤寂为主要落脚点，着重从文本分析、原因探究和写作手法三个方面，探讨了书中勾勒出的一个个封闭、孤寂却又渴望爱与理解的生命。抛开传统的细节性描述，《小城畸人》直击人性的灵魂，既揭示了畸人生命深处的孤寂，也传达了他们对爱与理解的渴望。在对原因的探究中，本文认为在工业化洪流的冲击下人所面临的疏离与异化、外部世界的冷漠和个体本身的交流障碍是造成这种孤寂的主要原因。而在行文过程中，作者通过象征性的表现手法和顿悟的写作方式完整地表达了其主题思想。小镇、手、墙、窗等都被赋予了深刻的象征意义。顿悟的写作方式更是给予孤寂这一抽象概念以直观具象的表达。关键词：舍伍德·安德森；《小城畸人》；孤寂；原因；艺术手法Winesburg，Ohio：The Lonely Souls beneath the Surface of LivesAbstractSherwood Anderson is an important writer in American literature history. His masterpiece Winesburg，Ohio has brought him great reputation and wide recognition. At the same time, various researches and criticisms have been made about the author and his works. Based on the previous studies, this paper intends to look into the lonely souls beneath the surface of lives in Winesburg，Ohio by analyzing selected short stories in the book, in the process of which the courses of the loneliness and the artistic approaches will be examined. Winesburg, Ohio is not a detailed recording of daily life of the small town people at the turn of the century, but cuts through the surface of lives into the hidden, controlling innermost souls. It reveals the desperate loneliness rooted in the grotesques’ souls, as well as their hunger for love and understanding. Besides, Winesburg, Ohio evokes the readers to think about the forces behind the apparent grotesques. It comes to the conclusion that the alienation in the modern life of machines, frustration received from the outside world, and the inability to articulate the inner feelings and love are the main causes of the loneliness. In order to give a full play of the theme, Anderson has applied symbolism and epiphany in Winesburg, Ohio: places and objects, such as Winesburg, hands, walls and windows are endowed with symbolic meanings in order to expressKey Words: Sherwood Anderson; Winesburg,Contents TOC \o 1-
