毛姆是20世纪著名的英国作家,广涉异域题材是其作品的一大特色。他曾到中国游历数月,创作了很多涉及中国题材的小说作品,长篇小说《面纱》便是其中之一。《面纱》中对中国的沉默贫民、没落贵族以及被中国化的英国人这三类形象的塑造颇能反映毛姆对中国文化以及中西文化交流的复杂态度。虽然其中也有对中国文化的欣赏,但在毛姆的作品中由西方中心主义而产生的优越感始终是占主导地位的。
Maugham, a famous English writer in the 20th century, is a major feature of his work. He traveled to China for several months and created many fiction works involving Chinese themes. The novel Veil is one of them. The shaping of the three kinds of images in the veil about China’s silent poor, the declining aristocrats, and the Chinese people of Britain can reflect Maugham’s complex attitude towards Chinese culture and the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures. Although there is also appreciation of Chinese culture, the superiority resulting from Western centralism in Maugham’s work has always dominated.
