霍尔顿体现了一个成长中的少年的种种问题:厌恶成人世界,不愿长大,急切地在寻找一个“父亲”来指导未来的生活。虽然寻找精神上的父亲是徒劳的,霍尔顿自己却在不知不觉中充当了父亲的角色,具有敏锐的观察力,不断地试图去关怀他人,保护他人。儿子和父亲两种截然不同甚至有些矛盾的角色同时存在于霍尔顿身上,使其形象复杂,充满争议,同时也正是其魅力所在。 Holden embodies the problems of a growing boy: disgusting the adult world and growing up, eager to find a “father” to guide future life. Although searching for a spiritual father is futile, Holden himself unconsciously acts as a father, has keen powers of observation, continually tries to care for others and protects others. Two distinct and even contradictory characters, son and father, exist both in Holden and make their images complex and controversial. At the same time, they are also attractive.
