汤姆·索亚和哈克贝里·芬分别是马克·吐温两部经典小说《汤姆.索亚历险记》和《哈克贝里.芬历险记》里的主人翁。这两部小说可以算得上是“姐妹片”而且汤姆和哈克贝里是两部小说中同时存在的人物。只不过他们分别在以自己名字命名的小说里担当主角而在另一部小说里充当配角。虽然汤姆和哈克贝里算得上是亲密无间的好朋友,但是他们在个性、人生追求和价值取向方面都表现的泾渭分明,大相径庭。汤姆代表的是一种世俗的价值取向,他所追求的也是世人所追求的金钱、地位和权力。而哈克贝里所体现的是一种理想化的超凡脱俗的人生追求。他的身上所表现的是自由和真、善、美。而他们身上所体现的这两种不同的人生观和价值取向也折射出了马克·吐温自身矛盾的价值取向。
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fen are the masters of Mark Twain’s two classic novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckberry Lane. These two novels can be regarded as “sister films” and Tom and Huckberry are the co-existing characters in both novels. Except that they play the role of protagonist in novels named after themselves and play a supporting role in another novel. Although Tom and Huckberry are close friends, they are quite different from each other in their personality, pursuit of life, and value orientation. What Tom represents is a kind of secular value orientation, and what he pursues also is the money, status and power sought by the world. What Huckberry embodied is an idealized pursuit of extraordinary life. His body is free and true, good and beautiful. The two different outlooks on life and values reflected by them reflect the contradictory value orientation of Mark Twain.
