中文摘要：

本論文以人物事件的自傳性質、小說敘事結構、故事中責任權威與情感因素的衝突三方面剖析聖修伯里的短篇小說《夜間飛行》。在第一章中，我們以聖修伯里寫給母親的信件與其妻的回憶錄為根據，尋找小說主角希維耶的人物原型，以及故事中的飛行經歷等等，肯定作者自身經歷與虛構小說之間的關聯和其作品具有的自傳性質。第二章中，利用簡奈特的敘事理論，我們分析了敘事次序和敘事速度，並找出故事的敘事者，以了解此小說的敘事技巧和敘述者的立場。在最後一章，通過托多洛夫所提出的敘事張力的變化，我們進一步分析了小說中以主角希維耶所代表的責任權威與其他角色展現的友情、愛情等等情感因素的衝突，檢視希維耶在衝突中精神層面的轉變。

英文摘要：

This study analyzes a short story-Night Flight by Antoine de Saint-Exupery from three aspects: the autobiography types, the narrative structure, and the conflict between authority-responsibility and affectivity. In the first chapter, the connection between the fiction and the author’s experience is confirmed based on the prototype of the main character Rivière constructed from the letters written by Saint-Exupery to his mother and the memoirs of his wife, as well as the flying experiences narrated in the story. In the second chapter, the narrative theory of Gerard Genette is applied to analyze the order of narration, the narrative speed and to determine the narrator of the story in order to comprehend the narration technique and the position of the narrator. In the last chapter, using Tzvetan Todorov’s theory of narrative, the conflict between the authority-responsibility represented by the main character, Rivière, and the friendship, love, and other emotions shown by the other characters the story is further analyzed in order to investigate transitions in Rivière’s mental state under the conflict.
