伯纳德·马拉默德(1914-1986)是二十世纪最伟大的犹太文学家之一,《修配工》是马拉默德继《伙计》之后的又一力作,小说一经发表就荣获了美国普利策奖和国家图书奖。几十年来,许多学者都对此小说进行过研究,主要以自然主义、存在主义和象征主义等为理论指导,涉及女性问题、黑人与犹太人的关系等方面。在对作品的解读中发现主人公雅科夫追求新生活的过程中经历了寻找—找到—失去三个阶段,因此本文试图以此角度探讨主人公的希望破灭之旅。

Bernard Malamud (1914-1986) was one of the greatest Jewish writers in the twentieth century, and “repair workers” were another masterpiece after Malamud succeeded the “buddy.” Once published, the novel was awarded The Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. For decades, many scholars have conducted research on the novel, mainly in the theoretical guidance of naturalism, existentialism and symbolism, involving women’s issues, the relationship between blacks and Jews. In the interpretation of the works, it is found that the hero Ya’akofu has gone through three stages of seeking-finding-losing. Therefore, this article attempts to explore the protagonist’s hope-breaking journey in this perspective.
