摘　　要：帕特里克·莫迪亚诺的代表作《暗店街》讲述了一位罹患遗忘症的私家侦探为了找回过去,到处寻找线索,却又不断陷入遗忘,最终认识到生命真实意义的故事。由此,莫迪亚诺构建起这部小说的"寻根"与"遗忘"两大主题:寻找的是遗忘了的存在,遗忘的则是曾经找到的存在。寻找仿佛是为了确证过去、身份、存在根源,然而最终却走向遗忘;遗忘的既是过去与现实,亦是人的存在本身,但是寻找却不会因此终止。在莫迪亚诺尝试重建自我存在的"因果论"的背后,隐藏着其对于"最不可把握的人类命运"的重现与思考。In Missing Person, a masterpiece of fiction by Patrick Modiano, an amnesiac private detective seeks to recover his self-identity by looking for clues about his past. He keeps forgetting what he has found, however; through the frustrated search for self he finally realizes the meaning of life. The novel centers on the protagonist＇s self- seeking and forgetting, revealing that the spiritual quest to confirm one＇s past and discover one＇s self-identity will inevitably end up with oblivion. The quest, however, will go on, as the novel suggests. With an attempt to re-establish causality in human existence, Modiano expresses his thoughts on one of “the most ungraspable human destinies.”
