摘　　要：当代爱尔兰作家约翰.班韦尔的《海》是一部沉浸在忧郁与彷徨气氛中的怀旧小说。小说主人公有着敏锐的嗅觉,这一特征不仅成为联系主人公感情经历的纽带,也是主人公证明并力图重建自我的一个隐喻意象,从而在叙述和隐喻两个层面上将过去与现在、记忆与当下自然地连接起来。作品成功地刻画了一个力图重建完整自我却又不能如愿的现代人,同时也反映了作家本人的现代主义和后现代主义的双重立场。The Sea, by the contemporary Irish novelist John Banville, is a novel of nostalgia, laden with an atmosphere of melancholy, loss and a sense of disorientation. By adopting smell as a distinctive trait of its protagonist, the novel ingeniously links the past with the present, the memory with the immediacy both on narrative and metaphorical planes. The insistent description of smell, therefore, becomes a tie of the protagonist＇s emotional pilgrimage, represents a modern man who is caught between seeking to reconstruct his unified self and finding the impossibility to obtain one, and meanwhile reflects the novelist＇s ＂mediational＂ position between a modernist and a postmodernist writer.
