摘要

本文运用社会学理论中的“角色发展模式＂，对《路得记》中危机状态下的角色发展变化进行分析研究。认为一方面，危机的产生与演变推动了故事情节的进展，也促进了主人公角色的转换，其间人物不断增添新的角色，角色的特征尤其性别特征表现出相当强的模糊性和流动性；另一方面，通过角色转换，主人公可以从已有故事背景中获得更多的功能和力量来作自我调整，成为应对危机的重要方式。《路得记》中人物角色的转换就鲜明体现出这一点。研究表明，危机与人物角色的转换互为张力又相互作用，前者推动后者，后者具有很强的社会功能，是危机得以解决的重要手段。

In terms of Three-stage Model of Role Development in sociology, role transformation is closely examined in the crisis initiated in the Book of Ruth. It is presumed that the crisis stimulates the plot evolution and thereby, the role transformation. During this course, the characters continuously adopt new roles, which lead to the ambiguity and flexibility in the character's roles, especially the role of gender. On the other hand, the people in the story adjust themselves by acquiring more abilities and strength from the existing environment to deal with crisis. The role transformation in the Book of Ruth has explicitly demonstrated this feature. This paper suggests that crisis and role transformation are in tense relationship, while interacting with each other, with the former stimulating the latter, and the latter, which embraces powerful social functions, as a rational means of dissolving crises.
