边缘与中心之间

章节摘录

　　By resurrection， Christians mean that God transforms our dead physical body into a living spiritual body， in which the body has died， and what is raised is not an immortal soul， but a spiritual body.　　All Christian doctrines bend every effort to promote the consciousness of separation， isolation， and duality between the binary opposites. Thus Christianity encourages people to live in a God-centered world， a sacred and good life， a world-negating life， for only through forsaking this current life can people find true meaning in life， an afterlife with God in heaven. Thus the Christianity establishes for the people a center from which meanings of life can be derived. The center， as a kind of authoriy， prescribes and regulates all things for its chosen few considering all others as unsaved， unclean， and damned forever to hell. Strictly speaking， such dualistic ideas simplify reality to a childish level， a reality that is in fact quite manifold. Its hold on the human mind is quite absorbing， for it offers high drama， the feeling of free will and specialness， and the chance for an everlasting life of bliss. Unfortunately it also blinds people quite rigidly to a religion and religious leaders who can often pursue very selfish purpose indeed. Most people have been converted to the doctrines of Christianity for fear of being excluded and separated from this fanciful and illustrious future life.

前言

　　研究伊丽莎自·乔利是要有勇气的，因为这是一个风格奇谲、很难把握的作家。作品中渗透着后现代手法，却又不乏现实主义细节描写和狄更斯式人物个性化语言的重复；刻画的大多是传统小说中的小人物：护士、清洁工、小职员、丧失生存能力的老人等。这些人却都有着强烈的现代意识，卷入这样那样的同性恋、老少恋，乃至乱伦；小说无意构建曲折动人的故事，只是把一种感受传达给读者，却照样具有震撼力。无论是小说的意蕴，还是人物的个性，都有着一种模糊含混、扑朔迷离的特质，使人容易偏离准确的判断。这就是乔利——一位让不少评论家望而生畏的澳大利亚女作家。而梁中贤却偏偏选择了她作为博士论文的研究对象，我们不得不佩服她的勇气。　　更令我们惊讶的是，攻读硕士学位期间，梁中贤研究的是语言学，与文学相距十万八千里。她表示要考我的博士的时候，说实话，我是心存疑虑的，后来见了她用英文撰写的短论文，觉得还不错，才表示欢迎。进校以后，我又知道她仍担任着系主任的职务，并没有因读博而卸职，只是一面上课，一面遥控着远在北国的行政事务，应当说是够辛苦的。入学之前，她已经是正教授了，职称与职务业已俱全，在常人看来，又何必离家别子，自讨苦吃呢？或者按部就班，修完该修的课程，从从容容写一篇博士论文，实在来不及，拖上个三两年，只要能通过，不就行了？又何需忙得死去活来，紧赶慢赶，非要在三年内写完呢？
