The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it.
There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep. 文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1415.html
这本小说一出版,就受到国内青少年的热烈欢迎,认为它道出了自己的心声,一时大、中学校的校园里到处都模仿小说主人公霍尔顿——他们在大冬天身穿风衣,倒戴着红色猎人帽,学着霍尔顿的言语动作。甚至在1960年代初期,外国学者只要跟美国学生一谈到文学,他们就马上提出了《麦田里的守望者》。文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1415.html
《麦田里的守望者》之所以受到重视,不仅是由于作者创造了一种新颖的艺术风格,通过第一人称以青少年的说话口吻叙述全书,更重要了资本主义社会精神文明的实质。人活着除了物质生活外,还要有精神生活,而且在一个比较富裕的社会里,精神生活往往比物质生活更为重要。文章源自:力哥爱英语(ienglish521.com)力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/1415.html
