摘要
美国饱受争议的"哥特式小说家"雪莉·杰克逊的短篇小说《摸彩》讲述的是战后美国新英格兰地区的一个村落里,一个女人如何以民主抽签的方式被选为全村的祈求丰收的祭品,进而被村民及自己的家人用乱石砸死的骇人故事。杰克逊将一个本应只可能在伦理混沌的古代社会发生的故事转化为现代美国社会伦理困境的某种夸大而深刻的表现,目的在于通过揭示美国核心伦理精神—"平等的自由精神"对美国社会伦理构建的负面影响,表达对美国社会伦理现实的担忧并同时抒发了自己的社会伦理观。
“Lottery”, the most frequently anthologized story written Shirley Jackson, is an appalling story, which tells that in a certain New England village of post-war United States, a woman is elected by means of lottery as the sacrificial offering ensuring harvest and is then stoned to death by other villagers and her own family. Jackson transfers a story, which is only likely to happen in the ancient society with ethical chaos, to an exaggerated and profound representation of the ethical dilemmas in modern American society. Her purpose lies in revealing the negative influence of the"Equal and Free Spirit"in the modern capitalist society and putting forward her own view of modern social ethics.
