摘 要

吸血鬼是西方世界里著名的魔怪，是一个处在三界之外的黑色形象。然而，他们在荧幕上或文学作品中的形象却历久弥新、大放异彩，甚至现实中的很多人强烈地表达出想变成吸血鬼的愿望。历数近年来塑造的吸血鬼形象，或善良可爱，或凶狠残暴，时而成为人类的朋友一起对抗邪恶力量，时而幻化成恐怖的恶魔将人类屠杀殆尽。吸血鬼形象的变化正是反映出后现代社会中人类生活、思想、精神状态的变化，甚至可以说吸血鬼正是人类的影子。探寻荧幕上的吸血鬼形象可以帮助我们更好地认识到后现代社会中人类对于现实的态度、对于问题的解决方式以及精神上的诉求。本文从吸血鬼热这一现象入手，探讨其盛行的原因，接着简单介绍了本文将分析的两部吸血鬼作品--《吸血鬼日记》和《暮光之城》，接下来探寻了吸血鬼形象中反映出人类的心理活动以及人类通过吸血鬼形象表达出的愿望和理想，最后阐明：不管吸血鬼的形象怎么样改变，它总会是人类世界的反射镜。

Abstract

Vampires are creatures that maintain immortality by sucking blood from humans and animals. They are night creatures. Vampire has a long story.

Why have so many people become so enthralled with these creatures of the night? In recent years there have been a growing number of devoted enthusiasts who endlessly thirst for vampires in novels, movies and other outlets. Some people even want to join their ranks. Clearly, this exotic nocturnal being can hold an uncanny grip on the hearts and minds of some individuals. The popularity of the vampire is not based on any one single aspect. The appeal comes from many different elements that people are drawn to. This paper first introduces the popularity of vampires in modern world and chiefly talks about the main contents of two famous literary work series—“The Vampire Diaries” and “Twilight”. It then demonstrates the reflections of human psychology and wishes from vampire images. It finally concludes that no matter how vampire images change, they are always mirror of the human world.
