英国当代作家贾斯汀·希尔的《天堂过客》、《品梦茶馆》和《黄河》分别在英国荣获不同文学奖项。他的三部中国题材作品被西方国家读者认为是对当代中国的准确再现,为西方的中国题材注入了新鲜空气。虽然希尔借选材、人物塑造、语言及叙事风格体现了一定的文化认同,但其叙事形式和汉化英语的背后却隐含着西方对中国司空见惯和根深蒂固的成见。三个文本中都有对中国文化、习俗和风土人情或多或少的偏见与误解。误读和冲突的产生有其个人心理、社会语境和历史渊源的原因,更有东方主义霸权话语挥之不去的阴影。
British contemporary writer Justin Hill’s “Paradise Passers-by”, “Dream Tea House” and the “Yellow River” won different literary awards respectively in England. His three Chinese themes are considered by Western readers as an accurate reappearance of contemporary China and have infused fresh air into the Western themes in China. Although Hill embodies certain cultural identities by means of material selection, characterization, language and narrative style, his narrative form and localization of Chinese language imply Western stereotypes of China’s commonplace and entrenched. All three texts have more or less prejudice and misunderstanding of Chinese culture, customs and customs. Misreading and conflict have their own personal psychology, social context and historical reasons, but also the shadow of the lingering discourse of the hegemony of Orientalism.
