在许多人眼里,只要一提到苏格兰,就会立即联想到红黑花格的男人裙,此外恐怕很少能将他们与英格兰人区分开。但对苏格兰人来说,他们与英格兰人不仅在血缘、语言、地理、政治、信仰、习性和习俗方面有着天壤之别,而且存在着世代难息的矛盾和抵抗。这种抵抗,不仅表现在恩恩怨怨上千年的战争史上,更血水绵延地渗透到对大英文化的反叛和伴随着痛苦矛盾的、对民族精神的执著追求上。苏格兰文学,恰是折射其民族心理的一面镜子。
In the eyes of many, whenever it comes to Scotland, men and women in red and black will be immediately reminded of them, and in addition there is little chance of distinguishing them from the English. But to the Scots, there is a big difference between them and the English not only in blood, language, geography, politics, beliefs, habits and customs, but also with the hard-won contradictions and resistance of generations. This resistance is not only manifested in the history of the war of thousands of years of grievances and grudges, but also more bloody stretches into the rebellion against the British culture and the painstaking pursuit of national spirits accompanied by pain and contradiction. Scottish literature is precisely a mirror that reflects its national psychology.
