文明的二重性：克莱恩短篇小说《新娘来到黄天镇》中文化冲突对人的影响作者简介：张力（1989.7-），女，四川外语学院研究生部2010级英语语言文学专业英语文学方向硕士研究生。
摘要：斯蒂芬·克莱恩（stephen crane，1871-1900）被誉为“美国自然主义的先驱”，善于描写生活在社会底层的人物，反映社会问题。
工业文明极大地推动西部发展进程；同时，人们的身心在东西部不同的文化影响下经历了巨变。
《新娘来到黄天镇》是克莱恩的关于西部的短篇小说，以一对新婚夫妇的返乡经历为主线，通过人物命运的改变揭示了工业文明影响下文化冲突给人带来的巨大影响。
本文旨在通过对该小说的解析，探索克莱恩在工业文明对美国西部的影响这一问题上的态度。

《新娘来到黄天镇》开篇就描写一辆西行的普尔曼列车穿越德克萨斯平原的画面。
列车正如来自东部的先进新型工业文明，为荒芜广袤的传统西部带来希望。
在东部的支持下，西部既拓展了发展空间，又丰富了当地群众的生活。
在东部的引领下，古老的西部将焕然一新。
传统已然渐行渐远，如从视线里消逝的德克萨斯平原。
美国本土东西部文化的冲突对立在故事中有深刻体现。
黄天镇是一个典型的西部乡村小镇，而圣安东尼奥则成了现代都市的代表。
小说开篇画面中疾驰的火车正是工业文明的产物，它不仅促进了东西部人口的快速流动，加强了东西部贸易往来，还是东部工业文明的使者，给蛮荒的西部边疆带来了新的文明。
西部扩张不仅仅是地理意义和政治意义上的领土扩张，更是一种文化意义上的拓疆。
“野蛮”与“文明”发生了冲突，随着森林被砍伐、印第安人被杀戮和人性被侵蚀，西部农业乌托邦的梦想日趋幻灭。
真诚：克莱恩判定文化的标准在十九世纪晚期，边疆思想在美国人心中起着至关重要的作用。

Stephen CraneTHE BRIDE COMES TO YELLOW SKY新娘来到黄天镇斯蒂芬·克莱恩著罗金佑翻译The great pullman was whirling onward with such dignity of motion that a glance from the window seemed simply to prove that the plains of Texas were pouring eastward. Vast flats of green grass, dull-hued spaces of mesquite and cactus, little groups of frame houses, woods of light and tender trees, all were sweeping into the east, sweeping over the horizon, a precipice.1巨大的普尔曼式火车带着如此高贵的尊严急转弯向前行进着，从窗口望去，似乎只是要证明德克萨斯平原现在是正在向东倾注而去的。
一片片广阔的绿色草地，一簇簇色泽晦暗的灌木和仙人掌，一群群小木屋，一丛丛青枝嫩叶的树林，一切全都要越过地平线上的那个悬崖向东延伸.A newly married pair had boarded this coach at San Antonio. The man's face was reddened from many days in the wind and sun, and a direct result of his new black clothes was that his brick-colored hands were constantly performing in a most conscious fashion. From time to time he looked down respectfully at his attire. He sat with a hand on each knee,like a man waiting in a barber's shop. The glances he devoted to other passengers were furtive and shy.一对新婚夫妇在圣安东尼奥登上了这列火车。

The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky Question1:1. How does the author employ the stereotypes of the western fict ion?The author employs the stereotypes of the western fiction is suspense in the Bride Comes to Yellow Sky.At the beginning of the story, the author sets a big suspense “Where is the train going to?” for the readers. And then the characters of the story come up who are a newly couple, the bride and the groom, Jack Potter .So another suspense is provided for the readers which is “Who are they? And why do they take the train?” Gradually, with the development of the story’s plot, when the readers just understand the previous suspense, they know what happened to the newly couple. However, the new suspense shows up which is “What do the groom’s hometown people react about the bride?”At the same time, in the groom’s hometown, a drunkard, Scratchy Wilson, the enemy of the groom, showed up. The author uses a lot of words to describe Scratchy Wilson. The suspense comes up in readers’mind that is “Why does the author shape the drunkard? And what will happen between the drunkard and the newly couple when the newly couple arrive Yellow Sky”, so the readers are eager to read the all passage to find out the facts. In the last part, the author through the talk between the groom and the drunkard present toreaders all the reasons and the all suspense is solved. Suddenly, the readers feel relaxed because it seems all the things are so.In the conclusion, the author uses suspense way making the fiction more attractive and successfully gives the deepest impression on readers. Anyway, the author uses the suspense method very effective in the Bride Comes to The Yellow Sky.Question2:Talk about the five stages of the plot of the story?1.

邢台学院外语系2010—2011学年第二学期期末论文论文题目：The narrative method and shift of points of view of The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky课程名称：《英美小说要素解析》任课教师：张淑菊学生姓名：殷红霞班级：08外本一学号：2008041128AbstractAs we all know, Crane Stephen is famous for his distinctive writing style and using shift of points of view. His work The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky is a typical representative of his unique writing features.Key WordsNarrative method；shift of points of view；parallel linear narrative structure；mingling points of view；third-person points of viewThe narrative method and shift of pints of view of The Bride Comes to Yellow SkyCrane Stephen, American author whose short story was remarkable and among them, The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky is one of his best short stories was drawn as a journalist of New York World during the Western American War in 1898.Ⅰ. Crane’s distinctive writing featuresAs we all know, Crane Stephen is famous for his distinctive writing style and using shift of points of view. His work The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky is a typical representative of his unique writing features.Crane is the one that holds fancies of romantic knight romance and he has strong passion in his life. From his most works, he as a narrator can’t stop jumping into the story to illustrate some words now and then and that sincere feeling makes an effect on readers.Ⅱ. Parallel linear writing structure in The Bride Comes to Yellow SkyThe Bride Comes to Yellow Sky’s writing structure is distinctive. And it is filled with parallel linear writing structure.The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky narrates a story about Jack Potter returning his town----Texas with his bride. In this story, Crane adopts nonlinear parallel the narrative structure----through two parallel lines that one is the scene that the happy new couple come back to home from the train station and the other one is the scene that drunken bully comes to Potter’s home for revenging, then these two lines interest----the couple and Wilson (the bully) confront with each other, which is narrated standing readers’ points.The story happens from lunch time to the time of arriving at the station to go home. One clue is that the new couple have lunch, see the scenery and talk in the chamber then arrive at the station, go back to home and the other clue is that at the same time, a bully, then news of drunken Wilson rushing into the town interrupts people’s everyday life in the bar, the bar closing the door, the guests escaping, Wilsonmaking trouble and retaliating to Potter’s home. The climax is that these above two clues intersect----the couple and Wilson run across at the corner suddenly. Time as the line of this story, the atmosphere changes from happiness to strain, the speed transits from slowness to rapidity. However, the story happens at the same time but not in the same space----the couple that they are on their way home, the people that live their life in the town, especially Wilson who is an importing point connecting the town with the couple and the role of Wilson develops the plot of this story leading to the climax of the story.Ⅲ. Shift of points of view in The Bride Comes to Yellow SkyIn addition to, his parallel linear narrative structure is through the whole story, and Crane makes best use of shift of points of view.The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky’s narrative point of view is distinctive and unique. It integrates third-person point of view and mingling points of view. There are three variants: omniscient, limited omniscient, and objective or dramatic.Authors may at times feel the need for greater scope than first-person point of view affords. They wish to be the all-knowing narrator, not limited by time, place, or character, but free to roam and comment at will. Such a point of view is called third-person omniscient. The narrator, evidently the author, sees all, knows all, and presumably, tells all. In this collection, Stephen Crane’s The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky illustrates third-person omniscient point of view.While the omniscient point of view might seem at first glance the most flexible and functional, the author who adopts it pays a price. The reader may very well feel remote from the action. Certainly the reader will not as easily identify with the protagonist. The author who does not wish to sacrifice omniscience but who still hopes for greater reader identification with the protagonist may elect to tell the story from the limited-omniscient point of view. Although continuing to write in the third person, the author limits himself or herself to what is known by one character. Stephen Crane also uses the limited-omniscient point of view with notable success in The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky.Besides third-person, mingling points of view is penetrated all over the story. The writer may tell most of the story in one type of point of view but then shift at an important point for the purpose of sustaining interest or creating suspense. Stephen Crane’s The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky n arrates from Potter’s view, reader’s view, the dog’s view, Wilson’s view at last returns to reader’s view so that the readers know this entire story thoroughly.The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky integrates third-person omniscient point of view and limited omniscient point of view, and there is no lack of the tone of irony and sarcasm in the objective narration. Narrator tells us that the closer the train approaches to Yellow Sky, the more impatient the husband is with third-person point of view, and sometimes excited, sometimes inattentive, these two contradictory sentiments are fie rcely fighting in his mind. That we clearly see the care of bride’s to the husband is based on non-awareness to anxiety is from the eye of Potter’s. When the new couple are threatened by the revolver, the bride’s face had gone as yellow as old cloth, which readers get from standing at Wilson’s back. However, that Wilson’s ludicrous performance in the street is sneaked by the people who hide behind the bar’s closed door. Different sights from different eyes show the different variety of human’s life space.What is the most wonderful changes of point of view is between the dog and the drunken man in front of the bar. People are frightened to close the door and hide behind the door, to the contrast, a dog yet lazy dozing in front of his master’s door. At sight of the dog, the man paused and raised his revolver humorously, and at the sight of the man, the dog sprang up and walked diagonally away, with a sullen head, and growling, which is pretty ridiculous. Then, this scene that the man and the dog run after with each other is as wonderful as the modern shot. In fact in here, the dog’s sight is also the same as Wilson’s sight, that is to say, their sights are also narrator’s , the people’s behind the door, and our readers’. The people in the bar are scared to hide themselves, but maybe the dog is accustomed to these farces, for which, the dog doesn’t walk away until Wilson comes to the dog’s face, even the dog is unwilling to pay attention to him. The dog’s unreasonable behavior just as a beast trapped roars,howe ver, Wilson’s laughter depends on his weapon hanging on his hip. Here, the dog’s and the man’s roles are exchanged.Mingling point of view just like a camera is always changing so it composes a movable picture filled with suspense, strained and lax, slow and fast. But in the end, the frozen scene like the modern shot pulled----Wilson picked up his starboard revolver, and placing both weapons in their holsters, then went away. His feet made funnel—shaped tracks in the heavy sand, and the drunken man’s stagge r is embodied by the funnel-shaped tracks into our eyes.Though The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky was published a hundred years ago, there is no doubt that its narrative method has obvious modern film’s features. The shift of time and space, mingling point of view and visual and audible narrative shows the author’s distinctive writing style. Maybe due to these narrative features, Crane’s another novel Blue Hotel published was revised in to the film. We imagine that if Crane had live more long time, a lot of permanent works would have been created, which were immortal works in American literal history even in the world’s literal history.BibliographyLin Liuchen, An Approach to Fiction .Shanghai Foreign Language Teaching Press Shanghai, 2004W.C 布斯.华明.胡晓.苏周宪, 小说修辞学,，北京大学出版社，1987戈得罗.若斯特著.刘云舟译,，什么是电影叙事学，北京：商务印书馆，2005拉泽尔·齐夫著.夏平.嘉彤.董翔晓译，一八九O年代的美国，上海外语教研出版社，1988王先需,王文平. 文学理论批评术语汇释，高等教育出版社，2006。
