在多丽丝·莱辛的短篇小说中,布尔人是一类典型的“边缘人”。作为欧洲移民的后裔,他们在南非不仅身遭英国白人殖民者的排斥,也不能融入当地土著民族的生活,甚至比土著更为边缘、困苦,精神世界更加寂寞,他们所经历的精神危机反映出时代和社会的危机。这些流浪在异域文化中的异乡人在特定历史时期和社会环境中生成了自己的生存模式、谋生技能以及自我拯救的模式。了解他们何以边缘或被边缘,以及他们的边缘生存状态,懂得尊重每一个人的生命和尊严,养成对生命的敬畏,对于今天的普通人都是有益的。
In Doris Lessing’s short story, the Boers are a type of typical “marginal man.” As a descendant of European immigrants, they not only were excluded from the British white colonialists in South Africa, they could not integrate into the life of the local indigenous peoples, they were even more lonely than the natives, and their spiritual world was even more lonely. The spiritual crisis they experienced reflected Times and social crisis. These strangers wandering in exotic cultures have developed their own modes of survival, earning skills and self-salvation in specific historical and social contexts. Knowing why they are marginalized or marginalized, and their marginalized living conditions, knowing how to respect the life and dignity of each and to develop a sense of reverence for life, are beneficial to ordinary people today.
