本文通过对《月落》的语体分析,反映了斯坦贝克的基本写作风貌,即明显的戏剧化倾向:(1)亦诗亦散的语言对侵略与反侵略这样的主题起到了调剂作用,调剂是戏剧惯用的表现手法;(2)对人们癖好的夸张描写减缓了悲剧气氛,而对癖好的夸张描写则是戏剧所惯用的手法;(3)在每章的开头预设氛围,如同戏剧的舞台指导。另外,斯坦贝克使用的对话充满俚言俗语,有似戏剧的台词。 Through the stylistic analysis of “Moonlight”, this thesis reflects Steinbeck’s basic writing style, that is, the dramatic tendency of dramatization: (1) The language of poetry also plays a role in regulating such topics as aggression and anti-aggression, (2) exaggerated description of people’s habits slowed the atmosphere of tragedy, and exaggerated description of hobby was the technique used in drama; (3) the presupposition of atmosphere at the beginning of each chapter, as drama Stage instructor. In addition, Steinbeck’s conversations are full of slang terms and drama-like lines.
