契诃夫笔下的小市民

契诃夫笔下的小市民与众多作家笔下小市民的不同之处在于:他不仅以肖像画家的大手笔,描画出形形色色小市民的丑恶嘴脸,而且善于从哲学和社会学角度概括小市民"庸人哲学"的实质与内涵,从而使对小市民的精神批判具有了全人类意义。再者,契诃夫还善于从他心目中最优秀的人群中寻找小市民的霉菌,以表明小市民庸俗习气的无所不在以及根除小市民习气的任重道远。

The Urban Petty Bourgeois Portrayed by Chekhov

The urban petty bourgeois portrayed by chekhov are different from those portrayed by many other writers. Chekhov not only portrays the ugly features of the urban petty bourgeois of every hue as a well known portrait painter, but is good at summarizing the substance and connotation of "the mediocre person's philosophy" of the urban petty bourgeois at the angles of philosophy and sociology. Thus, he makes the critism on the urban petty bourgeois acquire a world wide significance. What's more, Chekhov is also good at finding out the moulds of the urban petty bourgeois among the most excellent people in his view, so as to show that the mediocre habits of the urban petty bourgeois can be found everywhere and the burden of eliminating those habits is quite heavy.
