洛蒂以阴郁为情感基调,以寒冷为环境基调,以险恶为心理基调,描写了20世纪初期,八国联军入侵北京时的惨败的北京形象。洛蒂的笔下,北京是一座遍布灰尘的,灰暗、阴冷、阴险的公墓一般的城市。寒冷,黑暗,死亡笼罩着这座战后余生,却支离破碎的城市,到处尸横遍野,断瓦残垣;昔日辉煌的紫禁城,帝王落跑,城中住满了好奇的欧洲获胜者。这是对战后北京的真实记录,却也是洛蒂对北京的想象的崩塌。 Lottie gloomily as the emotional tone, with the cold as the basis for the environment, with evil as the psychological tone, describes the early twentieth century, the eight countries defeat Beijing when the invasion of Beijing’s image. Lottie’s pen, Beijing is a dusty, gloomy, cold, sinister cemetery-like city. The cold, the dark, and the dead are enveloped in this fragmented city that lasted for the rest of the post-war period. There are numerous corpses and ruins in the world. The once brilliant Forbidden City and the emperors ran down and the city was full of curious European winners. This is a true record of Beijing after the war, but it is also Loti’s collapse of Beijing’s imagination.
