摘要在作品中刻画引路人是索尔·贝娄成长小说的一大特征,《勿失良辰》即是一例。本文首先分析主人公威尔姆的困境表征、引路人塔莫金医生的强力引领,以及引路人产生的显性功能,继而指出引路人在文学层面上的隐性功能:既揭示了20世纪50年代美国犹太人令人堪忧的生存状况,又传递了贝娄呼吁美国犹太人肯定犹太身份的讯息,表达了贝娄希望美国犹太人建立"亲社会"观的迫切之情;既体现了贝娄对当时美国文学界新感知运动及荒原观的反驳,又道明了贝娄积极乐观的创作理念;既表明了贝娄对人文主义思想的执着追求,又让贝娄充当了当时纽约犹太知识分子的代言人。塔莫金医生的引领为当时的美国犹太人制定了恰当的行动纲领。 Depicting mentors is one of the main characteristics in Saul Bellow＇ s Bildungsroman, and Seize the Day is a case in point. This article first analyzes the symptom of the protagonist Wilhelm＇ s predicaments, the powerful guidance by the mentor Doctor Tamkin, and the mentor＇ s explicit function. It then points out the mentor＇ s implicit function at the literary level： it not only reveals the American Jews＇ disquieting living conditions in the 1950s, but also sends out Bellow＇ s signal to call upon the American Jews to affirm their Jewish identity. The work conveys Bellow＇ s strong desire to have the ＂prosoeial＂ concept estab- lished by the American Jews. It not only embodies Bellow＇ s objection to the then ＂New Sensibility＂ movement and the waste- land concept, but also expresses Bellow＇ s positive and optimistic notion of writing; it not only signifies Bellow＇ s persistent pursuit of humanism, but also renders Bellow the spokesman of the New York Jewish intellectuals. Doctor Tamkin＇ s guidance acts as the appropriate guideline for the then American Jews.
