《时间》是日本战后派代表作家堀田善卫以南京大屠杀为主题写作的日记体长篇小说，是战后日本乃至中国域外最早的直接表现南京大屠杀残酷史实的文学作品。小说以中国受难者陈英谛的视角记述了从1937年11月30日到1938年10月3日这段时间内主人公的个人际遇及中国南京的蒙难。本文通过分析《时间》的叙事话语、叙事视角和叙事空间，探究堀田善卫创作南京大屠杀小说的独特叙事风格。

堀田善卫对战争话语和文学修辞的回避，强调了对于战争中普通个体的尊重，使文本的叙事话语区别于宏大历史话语而具备了见证文学的意义；私人化的叙事策略在增强小说可信度的同时，强化了非亲历者的心理认同，使个体记忆公众化成为可能；三重叙事空间的搭建，使小说获得了历史再现与文学虚构之间的平衡，也使得《时间》传递的思考超越了民族、国家乃至时间。

Jikan is a diary style novel written by representative Japanese postwar writer Hotta Yoshie, with the theme of the Nanjing Massacre. It is the earliest literary work that directly portrays the cruel historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre in post-war Japan and even outside China. The novel depicts the protagonist's personal experiences and the suffering in Nanjing, China, from the perspective of the Chinese victim Chen Yingdi from November 30, 1937 to October 3, 1938. This paper explores the unique narrative style of Hotta Yoshie's Nanjing Massacre novel by analyzing the narrative discourse, narrative perspective, and narrative space of jikan.

Hotta Yoshie's avoidance of war discourse and literary rhetoric emphasizes respect for ordinary individuals in war, making the narrative discourse of the text different from grand historical discourse and possessing the significance of witnessing literature; The personalized narrative strategy not only enhances the credibility of the novel, but also strengthens the psychological identity of non experienced individuals, making it possible for individual memories to become public; The construction of a triple narrative space has enabled the novel to achieve a balance between historical reproduction and literary fiction, and has also enabled the thinking conveyed in jikan to transcend national, national, and even time.
