摘要妥协性与抗争性是人性中既对立又统一的两个方面，这一点在英国著名作家石黑一雄的《别让我走》中得到了淋漓尽致的体现。作为只有医学价值的“克隆人”，小说中的主人公们在面对早就被设定好的悲剧命运时，既有妥协，又不断地心存希望，做出着抗争。但在强大的人类群体面前，他们的这些抗争就略显微不足道了，最终只能按着人类设定好的程序，一步一步走向灭亡。本论文将对三个主人公所体现出来的妥协性及抗争性的表现及形成原因进行逐一阐述，并说明在小说所设定的特定情况下，主人公所体现出来的妥协性是强大和根深蒂固的，而抗争性则是软弱和稍纵即逝的。最后本论文将从整个人类历史和生命的层次出发，揭示人性妥协性和抗争性两者相辅相成，一直存在并将永远对立统一下去，并提出本论文对现实生活的指导意义。20889

Title The Compromise and Revolt of Humanity in Never Let Me Go
Abstract
The compromise and revolt are two aspects of humanity that containing the law of the unity of opposites, which can be well reflected in the famous British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go. As clone men who are only used as medical tool to cure sick people, the characters in this novel not only compromise but also revolt with hope facing with the tragic fate that has already set up for them. However, all their revolts seem like a drop in the bucket and the only choice they can make is just following the set program controlled by powerful human beings and heading to death step by step. This paper will discuss the three main characters’ manifestations and reasons for the formation of compromise and revolt of humanity one by one to prove the perdurability and power of compromise and the transiency and weakness of revolt in their humanity under the certain situation in this novel. Finally, from the perspective of human being history and life, this paper elaborates the contradiction and unity of compromise and revolt of humanity exists all the time. In addition, the practical significance of this paper will also be put forward.
