My profound gratitude first goes to Associate Prof. Xu Jing, my supervisor, who has generously shared her inspirational and provocative ideas during many of our face-to-face discussion sessions. Just under her careful and patient guidance, I begin to get a clear idea of the paper and finally frame it out. Without her guidance and support, the path to the finishing line would have been a whole lot more bumpy.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the teachers who have ever taught me throughout my college years and they inspired me to make efforts in English learning.
I am also very grateful to all classmates of the School of Foreign Languages who gave me direct or indirect help during my study in the college.
Last, I would like to thank my parents for their support.
Abstract
Once stumbling into society, youngsters become more and more frustrated since they find that the cruelty of reality is totally different from what they once imagined. Therefore, they lost their faith in themselves and in everything as well. The old values and beliefs collapse before the new ones are established. It is difficult for them to find a solution to this issue. These people are called the new “lost generation”.
The original “lost Generation” refers to those who used to be patriotic, romantic and adventurous but having experienced World War I and World War II, finally realized the craziness and barbarism of wars and the absurdity and cruelty of reality. Those young people did not become heroes as they once imagined but lost their ambitions and beliefs. Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, The Sun Also Rises was regarded as the proclamation of the “lost generation”. In this paper, I will make a simple analysis of the formation of the “lost generation” and give readers some solutions based on the analysis of Hemingway’s “lost generation” in his novels so that people could improve their reactions faced up with the reality.
The paper falls into six parts. The first part serves as an introduction. The second part aims at analyzing the origin of the “lost generation”. The third part explores the behaviors of the “lost generation” in terms of different ages. The fourth part probes into the causes of loss. The fifth part functions as a conclusion.
Key Words: lost generation, world war, reality
摘要
人们踏上社会之后会发现残酷的现实和他们原先幻想的完全不同，这使他们觉得很失意。因此，他们失去了对自己的信心，也失去了对所有事物的信心。在建立新的价值观之前，他们原先信奉的价值观就已崩塌，他们很难找到一条出路。这些人被称为新的“迷惘的一代”。论文网
原来的“迷惘的一代”是指那些原本很爱国，浪漫又爱冒险的年轻人，在经历第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战后，意识到战争的疯狂和野蛮以及现实的荒谬和残酷。那些年轻人没有像他们原先设想的那样成为英雄，却失去了他们的抱负和信仰。欧内斯特海明威的第一本小说《太阳照常升起》被认为是“迷惘的一代”的宣言书。本文将简析“迷惘的一代”的形成，并以分析海明威小说中的“迷惘的一代”为基础，给读者提出解决方法，以期望人们在面对现实的时候能够改善他们的应变能力。
本篇论文共分为优尔部分。第一部分是介绍。第二部分阐述了“迷惘的一代”的起源。第三部分主要从不同年代看“迷惘的一代”的表现的异同。第四部分探究迷惘的原因。第五部分是结尾。
