| 摘 要： 当代日裔英籍作家石黑一雄的代表作《上海孤儿》选取英、日帝国主义相遇的上海租界作为历史背景，透过流散视角再现了20世纪30年代遭受英国鸦片贸易、日本侵华战争双重侵略的中国历史。小说中的人物既是为历史洪流所夹裹的个体，同时也具有历史象征意义。在细读小说历史语境的基础上，通过分析小说主人公班克斯、戴安娜及山下哲的个人遭遇，认为小说从人物既是中心又是边缘的相对位置出发，审视了那段被西方学者压抑的中国殖民历史，批判了英、日帝国主义罪恶的侵华行径。 |

| Abstract: When We Were Orphans, the representative novel of the contemporary Japanese-born British writer Kazuo Ishiguro, is set in the Shanghai foreign settlements where the imperialist Britain and Japan met. Through a diasporic perspective, the novel reconstructs the 1930s China under the double invasion of British opium trade and Japanese military aggression. Characters in the novel are individuals involved in the historical events with historical significance. Based on a close-reading of the historical context of the novel, this essay analyzes the personal stories of Banks, Diana and Akira with the conclusion that, from the characters’ relative positions of being the center as well as the marginal, the novel reproduces the colonization history of China repressed by western scholars and criticizes the UK and Japan’s evil invasion of China. |
