摘要

2007年诺贝尔文学奖得主多丽丝•莱辛,被誉为继伍尔夫之后最伟大的女性作家，是文坛上又一颗璀璨明星。她的作品风格独特多变，思想深邃，观点犀利，见解新颖，并以独特的手法触及战争、政治、女性等多个领域，同时吸引了各个流派的评论家，研究热潮持久不衰。特别是她的长篇小说尤其备受青睐，然而研究她的短篇小说的人并不多。然而，短篇小说因为篇幅短小、结构相对紧凑，往往一气呵成，更贴近作者的真性情，是研究作者思想的不二之选。
本论文将研究莱辛的短篇小说《草原日出》，通过文本研究熟练把握写作手法、文章主旨和故事发展脉络等为深入研究提供了细节支持，通过理论研究顿悟、死亡意识、人与自然关系和成长观等奠定了全文的理论支撑框架，通过分析对比由死亡意识和人与自然关系两因素引发的顿悟，从而深入研究这篇短篇小说中所显现出来的多丽丝•莱辛的成长观。
本文不仅提供了一条可以进一步了解多丽丝•莱辛的成长观的途径，同时，也为更好地了解研究作家——人类灵魂的雕塑师这一特殊职业群体的成长观略尽绵薄之力。

关键词： 多丽丝•莱辛，《草原日出》，顿悟，死亡意识，人与自然，成长观

Abstract

Doris Lessing, the Winner of 2007 Nobel Price, is universally regarded as the most excellent and brilliant woman writer after Woolf. Her style is creative and changeable; her thought is profound and perceptive; her point of view is incisive and insightful; her idea is original and outstanding. With all the admirable characteristics that endowed within her, she travels skillfully and easily between the complicated themes of cruel and crushing war, hypocritical and hollow politic and suffering and struggling woman. It is no wonder that more and more various schools of critics are very interested in her works from the very beginning to present. And most of them pay much more attention to Lessing’s novels which are her representative work. Only of few of them are aware of her short stories. For the limited length, short story always has a more tightly knit structure than novels. That is, most of the time short story runs   from the beginning to end without stopping, showing unconsciously the real feeling of the write in a certain degree.
This article studies Lessing’s short story “A Sunrise on the Veld”. The research method includes textual study, fundamental conception and comparative analysis. Through a close study of the text, the full understanding of writing devices, main idea and theme of the short story can make great contribution to the study in detail.
