摘　　要：对菲茨杰拉德的短篇幻想小说《本杰明·巴顿奇事》的主题进行解读,揭露了美国上世纪20年代人们精神生活的萎靡和颓废。如同本杰明倒行的生命一样,情感、荣誉和梦想等表面上美好的事物最后也都走向了相反的一面。假象背后揭示的正是人们被掩盖的精神危机和灾难。By the analysis of the theme of F. Scott Fitzgerald＇s short fantasy The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the spiritual depravation and degradation of American people in ＂The Roaring Twenties＂ are uncovered. All apparently beautiful things including affection, honor and dream, ultimately move to their opposite direction like the retrograde life of Benjamin Button. What stays behind these pseudo phenomena is the covered spiritual crisis and disaster of people.

关 键 词：时间倒流 精神危机 情感 荣誉 梦想
