创伤理论视域下《长日留痕》的解读

创伤理论是弗洛伊德早期理论研究的核心，创伤指某些人对突发性或灾难性事件的一次极不寻常的经历，该理论在20世纪末被广泛运用于文学研究领域。《长日留痕》是石黑一雄的代表作，描述了战后英国管家史蒂文森对于自己往日创伤经历的回忆与反思。该文学文本描述了创伤经历的产生、延续和修复的三个阶段，以及史蒂文森对过去经历的梳理和逐步建立的与外界的联系使其成功实现创伤修复的心路历程，而该经历对于创伤修复来说富有借鉴性。

Analysis of The Remains of the Day from the Perspective of Trauma Theory

Trauma Theory is the core of Sigmund Freud''s early theoretical research,and trauma designates people''s unusual experiences of a sudden or catastrophic event.The theory has been widely applied to literature criticism since the late 20^th century.As one of the representative works of Kazuo Ishiguro,The Remains of the Day describes a British butler Stevens'' recall and reflection on his past trauma experience.The literary text displays three stages,namely the embodiment,continuation and recovery of the trauma,and narrates Stevens'' summary of his past experiences and gradual establishment of connections with the outside world,thus providing enlightenment into the general trauma recovery.
