鸡蛋是舍伍德.安德森同名短篇小说中一个显著的象征。除了本身的意义之外,鸡蛋也代表美国梦和生活本身。作为象征,鸡蛋在本篇小说中的应用非常成功。这是因为安德森通过重复,构建战略性上下文和对小说中主人公进行心理分析的缘故。这个象征手法应用的唯一缺陷是未能统领整篇小说。但总的来说,“鸡蛋”是杰出短篇小说家安德森的力作。 Eggs are a notable symbol of Sherwood Anderson’s short story. In addition to its own meaning, the egg also represents the American dream and life itself. As a symbol, the application of eggs in this novel is very successful. This is because Anderson relies on repetition, building a strategic context and psychoanalysis of the protagonist in the novel. The only drawback to this symbolic approach is the failure to command the entire novel. But in general, “Egg” is a masterpiece of the animated novelist Anderson.
