摘要
美国的幽默大师和现实主义作家马克·土温,被认为是一个世界文学巨匠。他的幽默对其后辈文人产生了巨大的影响。批评家对此亦高度重视并就此提出了不同的阐释。然而,幽默在马克·土温后期的作品里非但消失殆尽反而被辛辣讽刺所取代。马克·土温为何改变了他的写作风格和人生态度?什么原因导致了他的这种巨变?紧紧围绕上述问题,文章从社会影响和个人遭遇两个方面分别分析了引起马克·吐温写作风格和人生态度改变的原因。旨在就他的这些改变提出理性分析,从而使其作品更加通俗易懂。
Mark Twain, a mastermind of humor and realism, is seen as a giant in world literature. His humor had great impact on the following men of letters; critics also attached significant importance to it and put forward various interpretations. However,humor could no more be found in Twain's later works. On the contrary, it was replaced by bitter satire. Why did Twain change his writing style as well his attitude towards life?What was the cause of this sharp conversion? Focusing on these questions, the paper tries to analyze the basic elements which affected Twain from social influence and personal encounters respectively, aiming at offering rational analysis of this shift as well as making Twain's works readily understood.
