“劳动”主题在契诃夫的文学创作中是一个重要的问题。契诃夫在其文学作品中对劳动的作用进行了双重展示。一方面劳动在主人公的想象世界中充满诗意,主人公渴望通过劳动构建新的生活;另一方面在现实世界中,日常的劳动经验打破了主人公对劳动生活的美好想象,暴露出劳动具有使人心灵衰老的“奴役”面貌。作家在肯定劳动的积极意义的同时,对理想的劳动状态进行思考,对劳动与人生幸福的关系进行独特的探究。 “Labor ” theme is an important issue in Chekhov’s literary creation. Chekhov has doublely demonstrated the role of labor in his literary works. On the one hand, labor is poetic in the imaginary world of the protagonist. The protagonist is eager to build a new life through labor. On the other hand, in the real world, daily labor experience breaks the protagonist’s beautiful imagination of working life, Aging “slavery ” look. While affirming the positive significance of labor, the writer thinks about the ideal state of labor and makes a unique exploration of the relationship between labor and the happiness of life.
