1.1.首先表现在印度英国人和印度本土首先表现在印度英国人和印度本土居民之间分裂。这二者难以联结根本居民之间分裂。这二者难以联结根本障碍是政治。障碍是政治。23/55The streets are mean,the temples are ineffectiveThere is no painting and scarcely any carving in the bazaars(集市集市).The very wood seems made of mud,the inhabitants of mud moving.So abased(谦卑）谦卑）,so monotonous（单调乏味）单调乏味）is everything that meets the eye It is no city,but a forest sparsely scattered with huts.It is a tropical pleasaunce（高兴（高兴,游乐游乐园）园）washed by a noble river.it shares nothing with the city except the overarching sky.24/55Ronny：We are out here to do justice and keep the peace.“the kindest thing one can do to a native is to let him die.”“Indians are not allowed into the Chandrapore Club even as guests.”25/55“搭桥聚会搭桥聚会”(Bridge Party)not for anything that would happen that afternoon or even that week,but for some vague future occasion when a high official might come along and tax her social strength.“You are superior to them anyway.Dont forget that.You are superior to everyone in India except one or two of the Ranis,and theyre on an equality.”26/55When tennis began,the barrier grew impenetrable.It have been hoped to have some sets between East and West,but this was forgotten,and the courts were monopolized by the usual club couples.27/55“在印度人和英国人之间建立私人关在印度人和英国人之间建立私人关系几乎是不可能。系几乎是不可能。”Aziz：We may hate one another,but we hate you most.If I dont make you go,Ahmed will,Karim will,if its fifty-hundred years we shall get rid of you;yes,we shall drive every blasted Englishman into the sea,and then-he rode against him furiously-and then,he concluded,half kissing him,you and I shall be friends.28/55“India shall be a nation!No foreigners of any sort!Hindu and Moslem and Sikh and all shall be one!Hurrah!Hurrah for India!Hurrah!Hurrah!”29/552 2表现在英国人之间分裂上。表现在英国人之间分裂上。3.3.表现在印度人不一样教派人之间对立上。表现在印度人不一样教派人之间对立上。“宗教印度宗教印度”以艾席思这个艺术形象为代表印度穆斯林以艾席思这个艺术形象为代表印度穆斯林,对对于其它宗教尤其是印度教于其它宗教尤其是印度教,是排斥。是排斥。“Such a slack,unpunctual“Such a slack,unpunctual（不按时）（不按时）fellow!It is as well you did not go to fellow!It is as well you did not go to their house,for it would give you a their house,for it would give you a wrong idea of India.”wrong idea of India.”30/554 4表现在文化之间分裂和对立上。文化上表现在文化之间分裂和对立上。文化上差异经常造成英国人和印度人之间产生误差异经常造成英国人和印度人之间产生误解，造成沟通和交流失败。解，造成沟通和交流失败。“谈话中停顿不恰当谈话中停顿不恰当,语气被误解语气被误解,使整使整个谈话都会失败个谈话都会失败.”.”31/55Nothings private in India.Like most Orientals,Aziz overrated hospitality,mistaking it for intimacy,and not seeing that it is tainted with the sense of possession.It is only when Mrs.Moore or Fielding was near him that he saw further,and knew that it is more blessed to receive than to give.32/55Snake？Again there is a confusion about a snake which was never cleared up.Miss Quested saw a thin,dark object reared on end at the farther side of a watercourse,and said,“A snake!”The villagers agreed,and Aziz explained:Yes,a black cobra,very venomous,who had reared himself up to watch the passing of the elephant.But when she looked through Ronnys fieldglasses,she found it wasnt a snake,but the withered and twisted stump of a toddy-palm.So she said,“It isnt a snake.”The villagers contradicted her.She had put the word into their minds,and they refused to abandon it.Aziz admitted that it look like a tree through the glasses,but insisted that it was a black cobra really 33/55还有，一个关于蛇糊涂事件到底也没搞清楚。奎斯特小姐还有，一个关于蛇糊涂事件到底也没搞清楚。奎斯特小姐看到河对岸有一个细长黑东西，从尾部直立起来，她说：看到河对岸有一个细长黑东西，从尾部直立起来她说：“蛇！蛇！”村民也说是。艾席思解释道：是，是一条黑色眼村民也说是。艾席思解释道：是，是一条黑色眼镜蛇镜蛇不过，透过罗尼双筒望远镜看时，她发觉那不是蛇，不过，透过罗尼双筒望远镜看时，她发觉那不是蛇，而是一株棕榈树弯曲枯干。于是，她说：而是一株棕榈树弯曲枯干。于是，她说：“不是蛇。不是蛇。”村村民们就反驳她。她开始判断已经在他们头脑里生了根，现民们就反驳她。她开始判断已经在他们头脑里生了根，现在要改变他们想法也不可能了。艾席思认可用望远镜看时在要改变他们想法也不可能了。艾席思认可用望远镜看时确实橡树。不过他还是坚持说那是一条黑色眼镜蛇确实橡树。不过他还是坚持说那是一条黑色眼镜蛇蛇在西方就是邪恶、魔鬼象征蛇在西方就是邪恶、魔鬼象征 ，在印度，蛇却是守护神，在印度，蛇却是守护神，她是安宁、无限和永恒象征。她是安宁、无限和永恒象征。34/55“Down with the English anyhow.Thats certain.Clear out,you fellows,double quick,I say.We may hate another,but we hate you most.If I dont make you go,Ahrned will,Karim will,if its fifty-five hundred years we shall get rid of you,yes,we shall drive every blasted Englishman into the sea,and thenyou and I will be friends.”英国人会被打倒。这是必英国人会被打倒。这是必定。滚蛋吧，你们这帮英定。滚蛋吧，你们这帮英国佬，赶快滚。我们印度国佬，赶快滚。我们印度人之间可能有仇恨，不过，人之间可能有仇恨，不过，我们最恨是你们英国人。我们最恨是你们英国人。假如我不让你走，阿哈默假如我不让你走，阿哈默德会让你走，克里姆会让德会让你走，克里姆会让你走。即使把你们赶走要你走。即使把你们赶走要花上五百年时间，我们也花上五百年时间，我们也一定要把每一个该死英国一定要把每一个该死英国佬赶下海佬赶下海然后，你和我然后，你和我才能成为朋友才能成为朋友。35/55But the horses didnt want itthey swerved apart,the earth didnt want it,sending up rocks through which riders must pass single file;the temples,the tank,the jail,the palace,the birds,the carrion,the Guest House,that came into view as they issued from the gap and saw Mau beneath:they didnt want it,they said in their hundred voices,“No,not yet,”and the sky said,“No,not there.”36/55不过马儿不需要那种情谊不过马儿不需要那种情谊它们分道而它们分道而行；大地不需要那种情谊，它在路上布下行；大地不需要那种情谊，它在路上布下重重巉岩，使两人不能并辔而行；他们走重重巉岩，使两人不能并辔而行；他们走出山谷，脚下城市马上映入眼帘：那些庙出山谷，脚下城市马上映入眼帘：那些庙宇、坦克、监狱、宫殿、飞鸟、兵营、宾宇、坦克、监狱宫殿、飞鸟、兵营、宾馆馆全部这些都不需要那种情谊，它们全部这些都不需要那种情谊，它们齐声喊道：齐声喊道：“不，还不到时机！不，还不到时机！”连苍天连苍天也在呼叫：也在呼叫：“不，不在此地！不，不在此地！”37/55异质文化交流困难马拉巴山洞They are dark caves.Even when they open towards the sun,very little light penetrates down the entrance tunnel into the circular chamber.There is little to see,and no eye to see ituntil the visitor arrives for five minutes,and strikes a match.Immediately another flame rises in the depths of the rock and moves towards the surface like an imprisoned spirit:the walls of the circular chamber have been most marvellouslly polished.The two flames approach and strive to unite,but cannot,because one of them breathes air,the other stone.The radiance increases,the flames touch one another,kiss,expire.The cave is dark again,like all the caves.”38/55洞内一片漆黑，即使洞口朝着太阳，光线也难以洞内一片漆黑，即使洞口朝着太阳，光线也难以顺着通道透进圆形洞室。洞内没有什么东西可供顺着通道透进圆形洞室。洞内没有什么东西可供观赏，也没有些人来看它。偶然有个游客来到这观赏，也没有些人来看它。偶然有个游客来到这里，划上一根火柴待早晨分钟就走了。每当擦里，划上一根火柴，待早晨分钟就走了。每当擦亮一根火柴，洞穴深处就会升起一团火焰，像一亮一根火柴，洞穴深处就会升起一团火焰，像一个被囚禁幽灵移向岩石表面；圆形洞室石壁十分个被囚禁幽灵移向岩石表面；圆形洞室石壁十分平整光滑，令人叹为观止。两团火焰相互靠近，平整光滑，令人叹为观止。两团火焰相互靠近，挣扎着要融汇成一体，但却无法结合，因为一团挣扎着要融汇成一体，但却无法结合，因为一团火焰在空气中燃烧，另一团则在石壁之中。火焰在空气中燃烧，另一团则在石壁之中。两团火焰变得更亮了，它们相互接触，相互亲吻，两团火焰变得更亮了，它们相互接触，相互亲吻，最终失去了光芒。洞内又是一片漆黑同别洞没最终失去了光芒。洞内又是一片漆黑，同别洞没有什么两样。有什么两样。39/55异质文化之间友好相处道路：平等、友好、了解包容性态度平等、友好、了解包容性态度莫尔太太莫尔太太：印度人朋友：印度人朋友

place for Moslems.”“I have taken them off.”“You have?”“I left them at the entrance.”“Then I ask your pardon.”“Yes,I was right,was I not?If I remove my shoes,I am allowed?”“Of course,but so few ladies take the trouble,especially if thinking no one if there to see.”“That makes no different,God is here.”41/55他突然勃然大怒，吼道：他突然勃然大怒，吼道：“妇人！妇人！妇人！妇人！妇人！妇人！”“啊呀！啊呀！啊呀！啊呀！”那女人气喘吁吁地说。那女人气喘吁吁地说。“夫人，这是清真寺，你根本无权到这里来；你应该把鞋子脱掉；这夫人，这是清真寺，你根本无权到这里来；你应该把鞋子脱掉；这是穆斯林圣地。是穆斯林圣地。”“我已经把鞋子脱了。我已经把鞋子脱了。”“是吗？是吗？”“我把鞋子留在入口处了。我把鞋子留在入口处了。”“那就请你原谅啦。那就请你原谅啦。”“是，我没有做错事，对吧？只要我把鞋子脱了，你们允许我进来，是，我没有做错事，对吧？只要我把鞋子脱了，你们允许我进来，是吧？是吧？”“当然能够不过女士们极少光临此地，尤其想到这儿无人可见，就当然能够，不过女士们极少光临此地，尤其想到这儿无人可见，就更不来了。更不来了。“那没什么关系。真主就在这儿。那没什么关系。真主就在这儿。”42/55（四）印度之行中不友好双声：（四）印度之行中不友好双声：反殖民话语和殖民话语反殖民话语和殖民话语福斯特一直否定他写印度之行有任何福斯特一直否定他写印度之行有任何政治考虑。政治考虑。:“这部作品并不是一部政治性这部作品并不是一部政治性小说小说,即使小说中政治问题引发了公众注意即使小说中政治问题引发了公众注意,并使小说畅销。其实并使小说畅销。其实,小说所说事比政治辽小说所说事比政治辽阔得多。它讨论了整个宇宙阔得多。它讨论了整个宇宙,印度土地和天印度土地和天空只不过是表达了这个宇宙空只不过是表达了这个宇宙”。实际上是政治性显著小说实际上是政治性显著小说
