Chinese Abstract: 徐訏作为中国现代文学史上罕见的哲学与心理学科班出身的作家，其小说创作始终贯穿着对生命存在意义的执着追问。《吉卜赛的诱惑》创作于上海“孤岛”时期，表面是一个异域爱情传奇，内核却是徐訏以哲学家眼光对生命体验、爱与自由、存在超越等根本问题的诗性探索。本文以徐訏的哲学素养为切入点，从“刺激”与心理深描、异域梦幻与神秘氛围、东西方生命态度的碰撞、爱欲解放与自由追寻四个维度，逐层剖析《吉卜赛的诱惑》的深层意涵。小说中的“刺激”是生命感知被唤醒的征候，异域梦幻是让生命以另一种方式展开的想象实验，吉卜赛族群所代表的“自然之爱”构成了一种对存在困境的回应方式。徐訏藉由这个以爱与人性为主轴的故事，完成了对生命可能性的哲学勘探——“吉卜赛的诱惑”本质上是自然生命的诱惑、自由灵魂的诱惑，是对一种更接近生命本真状态的深切呼唤。
Abstract: As a rare writer in the history of modern Chinese literature with formal training in philosophy and psychology, Xu Xu consistently infused his fiction with a persistent inquiry into the meaning of life and existence. The Temptation of the Gypsies, written during the "Isolated Island" period in Shanghai, is superficially an exotic love romance, but at its core it is Xu Xu's poetic exploration, through a philosopher's gaze, of such fundamental questions as life experience, love and freedom, and existential transcendence. Taking Xu Xu's philosophical cultivation as its point of entry, this paper analyzes the deeper implications of The Temptation of the Gypsies layer by layer from four dimensions: "stimulation" and deep psychological portrayal; exotic fantasy and mysterious atmosphere; the collision of Eastern and Western attitudes toward life; and the liberation of eros and the pursuit of freedom. In the novel, "stimulation" is a symptom of the awakening of the perception of life; exotic fantasy is an imaginative experiment that allows life to unfold in another way; and the "natural love" represented by the Gypsy community constitutes a response to the existential predicament. Through this story centered on love and human nature, Xu Xu completes a philosophical exploration of life's possibilities—"the temptation of the Gypsies" is essentially the temptation of natural life and the temptation of the free soul, a profound call for a state closer to the authentic condition of life.
