摘要
诺曼·梅勒的《我们为什么在越南?》通过主人公兼叙述者D.J.赴越参战前回忆两年前跟随父亲拉斯提在阿拉斯加猎熊的经历隐喻性地解析了美国介入越南战争的民族文化心理,间接地再现了美国介入越南战争前的各种社会、政治、经济和文化焦虑,这些焦虑使美国失去理性,变得疯狂,走向邪恶,发动战争,破坏生态,制造混乱,践踏人性,而导致美国焦虑的根源是其权力欲望和霸权意识。
Norman Mailer＇ s Why Are We in Vietnam？ represents the bear-hunt experience of D. J. , the protagonist and narra- tor of the novel, in Alaska with his father Rusty two years before his departure for Vietnam, and thereby, metaphorically dem- onstrates America＇ s national and cultural mentality that resulted in its involvement into the Vietnam War. The book indirectly represents America＇ s social, political, cultural and economic anxieties before its involvement into the War, which made America irrational, turned it insane and led it to evil so much so that it went on the way of launching wars, destroying the ecology, creating disorder, and de-valuing humanity. The very anxieties of America originated from nothing but its lust for power and hegemonie consciousness.
