• The dialogue between the young man and the old man reveals their essential differences, one being green and passionate and the other being experienced and profound. One of the effective techniques employed here to present the image of the old man as an experienced and profound man is that he sounds somewhat philosophical, hither and thither in his talks. Here is one example. “one might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes”. The underlined part in the quotation is used to present an idea one is likely to feel to be nearer to the heart of human experience. By analyzing and generating some specific incident to discover the fundamental truth, the old man impresses one as a wise and

《追逐者》
武汉理工大学课程论文设计题目：浅析《追逐者》中双重元素和讽刺艺术手法的运用学院(系): 外国语学院课程名称: 英美短篇小说选读专业班级: 英语语言文学1003班学生姓名: 舒贝任课教师: 李斯2012-1-5浅析《追逐者》中双重元素和讽刺艺术手法的运用[摘要]在短篇小说The Chaser中，作者描写了一段爱情魔液(Love potion)的买卖过程。
文章中大量的双重元素和讽刺手法的运用，有助于表现作品深层的含义，即对人性的探讨，以及对理想爱情的追求。
[关键词]双重元素讽刺爱情魔液生命清洁剂约翰·亨利·科律尔，生于1901年5月3日，卒于1980年4月6日，英籍美国作家，因短篇小说而驰名，其中大量作品于20世纪30年代至50年代发表于《纽约客》杂志，并于1951年编入短篇小说集《幻想与晚安》，目前仍然不断重印。
科律尔1935年移居至好莱坞，从此从事了大量的影视剧写作。
他于1951年获“爱伦坡奖”，1952年获“国际幻想小说奖”。
他的短篇小说大体可以归为幻想小说，但风格上独树一帜，其特色为尖酸刻薄而充满睿智，笔调一般为讽刺性或较为灰暗，结构完美，显示了高超的文学技艺。
小说《追逐者》讲述了一个年轻人去一个神秘的老人那儿去买魔力药剂的故事。
首先老人展示了一种无色无味、无法觉察的毒药，开价5000美元。
当年轻人惴惴不安地询问是否所有产品价格都一样高时，老人给了否定的回答，对此老人解释说等顾客相信了他的产品的魔力，将来他们有了钱，就会回来以更高的价格买其它的东西。
然后他给年轻人展示了一种爱情魔液，并说该药剂能够具有让一个女人全心全意爱他，永远不离不弃的魔力。
老人对此开价仅1美元。
这个年轻人非常开心地购买了爱情魔液，却不明白为什么对方以1美元出售爱情魔液，对毒药却要价如此高昂。
故事中男主人公Alan Austen为了得到Diana的爱情，去一位不知名的老人那里买爱情魔液。
故事在两人的对话中展开，在对话中结束。

the chaser
Ideal love is fostered only between two sincere, mature and independent Байду номын сангаасeople. It is the inner struggle to polish these attributes that is the key. ... Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality.
If you are neglecting things you should be doing, forgetting your purpose in life because of the relationship you're in, then you're on the wrong path. A healthy relationship is one in which two people encourage each other to reach their respective goals while sharing each other's hopes and dreams. A relationship should be a source of inspiration, invigoration and hope.

Unit 7The ChaserJohn Henry Collier1 Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark and creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street， and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors。
2 He pushed open this door， as he had been told to do， and found himself in a tiny room, which contained no furniture but a plain kitchen table， a rocking—chair, and an ordinary chair。
On one of the dirty buff—coloured walls were a couple of shelves，containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars.3 An old man sat in the rocking—chair， reading a newspaper. Alan， without a word, handed him the card he had been given。

• This short story, which combines elements of horror and love, is built almost entirely through dialogue between a young man, Alan Austen, who is deeply in love and wants to possess his lover entirely, and an unnamed old man who believes in a life free of romantic involvement. As the dialogue develops, Austen’s attitude towards the potion changes from skeptical and hesitant to excited and overwhelmed. Readers have been kept in suspense of what will happen to the young man when the story comes to the last line “Au revoir”.

• Collier also uses symbolism, tone and setting to mold an evil and twisted tale. The irony that Collier uses in "The Chaser" can be identified by most critics as situational irony(情境讽刺 ). This is a form that a majority of authors tend to shy away from. It is obvious to even the untrained eye that situational irony involves the characters and the situation that they are in. For example, when the old man says: "Please a customer with one article, and he will come back when he needs another,"(Collier 1), the reader can find it ironic how he is already enticing (persuading) young Alan Austen to return and buy the so-called life-cleaner.
