摘　　要：英籍华裔作家毛翔青虽然为西方评论界所热议,但是他作品中蕴含的儒家思想却未得到足够关注。本文在分析小说《酸甜》的基础上,借助儒家的正名思想,结合霍米·巴巴关于被殖民的他者的生存状态的观点,分析故事中人物的生存状态。本文提出,身处异国环境的故事人物需要通过正名行为厘清自己的名号和调整行为规范,从而开辟生存的第三空间。The Chinese-born British writer Timothy Mo has attracted critical at- tention both at home and abroad, but only a few critics have discussed the Confucian thoughts in his novels. Drawing upon Confucius＇s idea of ＂The Rectification of Names＂ and Homi Bhabha＇s opinions about the living conditions of the colonized other, this essay develops an in-depth analysis of Mo＇s novel Sour Sweet. It argues that living in a foreign environment, the characters should re-examine their ＂names＂ and adjust their behaviors through the rectification process so as to open the third space for survival.
