is not a source of humor in Morrison

但自我意识并不是莫里森的幽默来源
because the alienation is produced by an unjust society.

因为她的小说中疏离感是由于不公平的社会造成的
It's not a laughing matter.

这是不能拿来开玩笑的
It's not so much the universal human condition as it is in Barth,

在莫里森的小说中由自我疏离形成的人类的状态
to be alienated from yourself.

与在巴斯描述的世界中形成的状态不同
The self-alienation that Pecola embodies as the negative is the product of oppression, racial oppression.

佩科拉所拥有的自我疏离的负面属性来自于种族压迫
If there is an opportunity for humor in Morrison's work,

就算莫里森想在作品中加入幽默
it's not going to come from that fountain of irony.

也不可能基于讽刺种族压迫的部分
So, is irony dead in Morrison? Well, maybe.

莫里森已经放弃讽刺了吗可能
If we see irony in Morrison's work,

如果我们在莫里森的作品中发现了讽刺
it's in the specific local language of the characters,

它会是嵌入在人物的某些特定对话中
and I would submit to you that where we see something funny,

我会为你们指出哪些话是有趣的
