服饰是当代英国作家石黑一雄的小说《长日留痕》中的中心意象。在男主人公史蒂文斯的心目中,服饰是英国男管家的尊严和职业性的标尺。史蒂文斯以“服饰”为掩体,通过“得体”的第一人称叙述,不仅掩盖了达林顿府不光彩的历史,还压抑了真实的自我。本文从服饰入手,分析史蒂文斯的自我定位以及他与达林顿府所承载的历史的关系,从而揭示其服饰政治背后潜藏的历史与文化内涵。 Costumes are the central image in the novel “Long Day Retreat” written by contemporary British writer Ishiguro. In the eyes of the hero Stevens, dress is the dignity and professionalism of British butler. Stevens used “Costumes” as shelters and “first-person narration” of “Decency” to cover not only the frivolous history of Darlington House but also the true self. Starting from the dress, this article analyzes Stevens’ self-positioning and his relationship with the history of Darlington House, revealing the hidden historical and cultural connotations behind her dress politics.
