Abstract This article shows in some detail that the colour pink functions as a leitmotif in Thomas Mann’s 1939 novel Lotte in Weimar. The basic link to Werther is established via the pink ribbon, which is missing on the white dress which the aging Charlotte Kestner wears during a dinner at Goethe’s house in 1816. Mann’s meticulous weaving of a red or even pink thread through the narrative, however, goes far beyond this detail. A closer investigation of the role the colour pink plays in his novel reveals a subtle network of political, erotic and literary allusions, reaching from Goethe’s Divan to James Joyce’s Ulysses.

摘要本文详细介绍了托马斯·曼（Thomas Mann）1939年在魏玛（Weimar）创作的小说《乐天》（Lotte）中的粉红色。与Werther的基本联系是通过粉红丝带建立的，粉红丝带在1816年歌德故居的晚宴上穿的白色连衣裙上就不见了，那是年迈的夏洛特·凯斯特纳穿着的衣服。曼恩通过叙事方式精心编织了红色甚至粉色的线。远远超出了这个细节。仔细研究粉红色在其小说中的作用，可以发现政治，色情和文学典故的微妙网络，从歌德的歌剧院到詹姆斯·乔伊斯的尤利西斯。
