今天,“意识流”和其它许多写作方法一样,已经成为一种有用的文字技巧。技能纯熟的作家自如地使用意识流就象他们直接或间接地使用引语,使用讽刺、夸张和倒叙等手法一样。然而要想深入理解任何一种艺术手法,我们则须考察其起源,弄懂为什么最初采用这种写作方法的作家觉得有必要用一种新的方法来表达一种新的态度。 Today, Stream of Consciousness, like many other writing methods, has become a useful text technique. Skillful writers freely use streams of consciousness just as they use quotations directly or indirectly, using satire, exaggeration, and flashbacks. However, to understand any kind of art, we must examine its origin and understand why writers who originally adopted this method of writing find it necessary to express a new attitude in a new way.
