"这个灰色正像一个人生命的形式"--"灰色"与沈从文的城市世界

乡村世界和城市世界是沈从文小说的两大题材,乡村世界是作家理想中的“希腊小庙”,而与之相对的城市世界,在作家笔下呈现的是一片“灰色”沙漠,是毫无生机和活力的丑恶的生命形式。但执著于生命意义探寻的作家,在感性表层的背后,有着更为理性的清醒的认知。因此,这就使得沈从文的小说呈现出极为深广的内涵。

"This kind of gray is just like a life style"--"gray "and Shen Congwen's urban world

Rural world and urban world are two themes of Shen Congwen's novles. Rural world is the "Greek temple"in the author's ideal,but the urban world is the gray desert and a kind of filthy life style without animation. But writers,who devote themselves to the seeking of meaning of life,have more rational and sober perception into the surface layer.Thus,Shen Congwen's rural novels show more profound connotations.
