伊恩·麦克尤恩的短篇小说具有独特叙事艺术魅力,其短篇小说篇幅短小,将线性叙事结构和成长小说叙事模式有机结合起来。同时,根据反映现实和表达主题的需要,作者在叙述故事时采用了不同的叙述角度并灵活地转换视角。此外,作家除了娴熟运用自由直接引语和自由间接引语,也擅长根据叙述者的年龄和身份的不同选用不同的叙述语言。更能体现作者现代叙事技巧的是,麦克尤恩沿袭了西方现代小说诸多叙述形式要素(反讽、从人物的嘴里道出、视点的选择和象征形象等)来含蓄地显示自己的伦理立场。
Ian McEwan’s short story has a unique charm of narrative art, his short stories are short, the linear narrative structure and the growth of novel narrative mode organically. At the same time, according to the needs of reflecting the reality and expressing the theme, the author adopts different narrative perspectives and flexibly switches perspectives when narrating stories. In addition, the writer is adept at using free direct quotations and free indirect quotations, and is also good at choosing different narrative languages according to the narrator’s age and identity. To better reflect the author’s modern narrative skills, McEwan implicitly displays his ethical position following many narrative elements of modern Western novels (irony, word of mouth, choice of perspective and symbolic images).
