加拿大作家乔治·鲍尔音描述现代都市生活总有他独到之处。比如这篇《剪草机》,选取的点很小,情节也相对单纯,而作者却能在这短短的篇幅内尽情地施展拳脚,文章借由主人公在一个星期六上午被迫购买了一台剪草机的经历,折射出商业社会中无孔不入的广告行为,以及与此相伴的强制性消费,让人们避无可避,并且饱受其折磨的现实。 George Bauer, a Canadian writer, always describes his uniqueness in modern urban life. For example, this “lawnmower”, the selection of small points, the plot is relatively simple, but the author was able to flex its muscles in this short space, the article by the hero on a Saturday morning was forced to buy a Lawnmower experience, reflects the pervasive commercial practices of commercial advertising, and the accompanying compulsory consumption, so that people avoid the inevitable, and suffer the reality of its torture.
