摘　　要：《长日将尽》围绕英国管家史蒂文斯的西南之行展开,他在旅途中经过不同空间,在回忆中穿过时间长河,最终在旅途终点找回了真实的自我。空间的更迭变化影响着史蒂文斯对自我身份与社会的认识,对空间及其内涵的分析是理解主人公自我重建过程的钥匙。空间变换对史蒂文斯的自我重建有何意义?以列斐伏尔的空间理论解读,不难发现,从达林顿府到西南乡村,史蒂文斯在变化的表征空间中潜移默化地受到影响;他被庞大府邸中等级森严的空间表征所规训,又为旅行途中自由平等的空间表征所感染;最终,史蒂文斯在空间实践中接受现实、接纳自我,以历经迷茫后的自我重建给人以精神力量。The Remains of the Day centers on a journey to the southwest by Stevens,a British butler,during which he traverses various spaces,evokes memories that span time,and ultimately rediscovers his true self.As spatial transformation greatly influences Stevens'perception of his own identity and society,delving into the spaces and their connotations is crucial to fully comprehending his self-reconstruction.How does spatial transformation affect Stevens'self-reconstruction?From the perspective of Lefebvre's spatial theory,it becomes evident to find that Stevens undergoes subtle transformation influenced by changing representational spaces from Darlington Hall to the southwest countryside.He is not only disciplined by the hierarchical representation of spaces in Darlington Hall,but also gradually attracted by the ideals of freedom and equality on his journey.Finally,through his spatial practice,Stevens reconciles with the reality and embraces his true self,providing the reader with spiritual power through his self-reconstruction after internal turmoil.
