在《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的伊始,叙述者哈克公然调侃作者马克·吐温,说他在《汤姆·索亚历险记》中有关自己的叙事,“大体上讲的是实话,但有些事是他生发开来的”[1]。哈克的话说得很委婉。说得难听点儿,马克·吐温在哈克的眼里,和小说中那两个自诩为“国王”和“公爵”的骗子没有什么区别,都是在扯谎。骗子这个称谓在这本书中可不是一般的标签,那可是要被浇上滚烫的柏油,并插上羽毛以儆效尤的。 At the beginning of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, narrator Hark publicly laughed at author Mark Twain about his own narrative in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, “Generally speaking To be honest, but some things happen to him. ”[1] Huck’s words are very tactful. To put it more bluntly, Mark Twain in the eyes of Huck, and the two self-proclaimed “King” and “Duke” liar is no different, are lying. The term “liar” is not a general label in this book, but it is to be poured on the tarred tar and inserted into the feathers to work well.
