媒介转换与叙事重构：小说《莫失莫忘》与电影《别让我走》中的后人类书写

穆霄宇（Mu Xiaoyu）

摘要：石黑一雄于2005年发表小说《莫失莫忘》，2010年又亲自改编为电影《别让我走》。本文认为，媒介的转换影响了石黑一雄的叙事策略与主题表达。小说凭借文字的暗示性、回忆叙事的欺骗性与留白艺术的隐晦性，构建出一个多义的隐喻世界，引发读者思考克隆人的生命体验与伦理困境。电影作为视听艺术，则通过画面、剪辑、音乐等外在化手段，将小说复杂多义的主题简化处理，充分发挥了大众传媒时代视觉艺术的情感动员功能，引发观众批判性地反思人类中心主义。

Title: Medium Conversion and Narrative Reconstruction: Post-human Writing in the Novel Never Let Me Go and the Film Never Let Me Go

Abstract: Kazuo Ishiguro published his novel Never Let Me Go in 2005, and adapted it into a film in 2010. This article argues that the medium conversion influenced Ishiguro’s narrative strategy and thematic expression. The novel, through its suggestiveness in language, the deceptive nature of memory-based narration, and the subtlety of its use of ellipsis, constructs a multi-layered metaphorical world, prompting readers to reflect on the life experiences and ethical dilemmas of clones. The film, as an audiovisual art form, externalizes the novel’s complex and ambiguous themes through visual elements, editing, and music, simplifying them and fully utilizing the emotional mobilization power of visual art in the age of mass media, encouraging the audience to critically reconsider anthropocentrism.
