贝娄对记忆的强调旨在呼唤传统价值的回归,旨在为现代人提供一条走出精神荒原、摆脱异化处境、实现自我救赎的途径。他的小说从爱的慰藉、自身罪错的反省、死亡恐惧的克服三个方面表现了记忆之于灵魂救赎的意义。 Bellow’s emphasis on memory aims to call for the return of traditional values, aiming at providing a way for the modern people out of spiritual wilderness, escaping from alienation and realizing self-salvation. His novels show the meaning of memory in soul redemption in three respects: consolation of love, self-reflection of sin and death, and fear of death.
