伊丽莎白.乔利的作品《果园窃贼》是一部篇幅不长的小说。尽管有评论家认为这部小说没有社会深度,但笔者认为该小说表现的主题超越社会与政治的局限,表现宏大的生态主题。通过小说中主人公居住的果园引发的意识形态方面的冲突与矛盾,乔利巧妙地揭示果园反映的三层生态符号意义:日常生活的栖居地、物质财富的象征以及整体联系的哲学观念。乔利解决小说复杂局面的妙处在于,她以富有哲理的启示迂回地使果园恢复“诗意的栖居”功能。
Elizabeth Jolly’s Orchard Thieves is a short novel. Although some critics think there is no social depth in this novel, the author believes that the theme presented in this novel goes beyond the limits of society and politics and represents a grand ecological theme. Through the ideological conflict and contradiction caused by the orchard in which the hero lives in the novel, Jolly cleverly reveals the significance of the three layers of ecological symbols reflected in the orchard: the dwelling place of daily life, the symbol of material wealth and the philosophical concept of the whole relationship. The beauty of Jolly’s solution to the complexity of the novel lies in its sheer philosophical enlightenment that detours the orchard back to its “poetic dwelling” function.
