摘要
林语堂在上海圣约翰大学时期发表的《南方小村生活》(1914年)和《善波》(1915年)等两篇英语原创性短篇小说是其小说创作学徒时期的主要代表,也是其一生致力于向西方"讲好中国故事"的起点.这两篇短篇小说体现了林语堂早期英语小说创作在叙事视角、内容、结构、修辞和用语等方面的叙事特征和写作特色,是其后期长篇英语小说创作的雏形.
Abstract
Lin Yutang's two original English short stories,A Life in a Southern Village and San-Po,published in1914 and 1915,are the most representative works in his apprenticeship in fictional creation at St. John's University in Shanghai,which is al-so the starting point of his lifelong commitment to"telling the story of China well"to the West. A close reading of the two short sto-ries reflects the narrative features and writing features of Lin Yutang's early English fictional creation in terms of narrative perspec-tive,content,structure,rhetoric and language,which are the embryonic form of his later English novels.
