摘　　要：新历史主义认为,对历史的理解是一种语言结构,通过这种语言结构才能把握历史的真实价值。冯内古特的小说《五号屠场》将历史小说化,用历时与共时结合、作者作为小说文本的解释者和任意循环的话语结构所形成的非线性历史叙事——一种诗性的语言结构,将历史人物推入想象的时空,使虚构的人物出现在历史事件中并和历史人物一起活动,重构并准确、系统地表现了德累斯顿毁灭这一历史事件,通过使真实的事物与想象的事物对照和比较的方法重新考察历史,从而揭示了历史的真实和作者对历史的深刻反思。New Historicists think that the understanding of history is a structure of language through which the true value of history can be grasped. Vonnegut＇ s novel Slaughterhouse-Five fictionalizes history by using the non-linear historical narrative--a poetic language structure formed by the combination of the diachronic and the simultaneous, the writer as the expositor of the tictional text, and the arbitrary circular structure of discourse, pushing the historical characters into the imaginary time and space, making the invented characters appear in the historical events and move about together with the historical characters, reconstructing and truly and systematically representing the historical event Dresden＇ s Destruction by using the historical narrative as a language invention, reexamining history through the contrast and comparison between the actual things and the imaginary ones, and accordingly revealing the truth of history and the writer＇ s pro- found reflection on history. , specializing in British and American literature, Western critical theories and Western cultures.
