This paper analyzes Shen CongWen's “Border town” and Kafka's “The Castle” text ambiguity problem. The two works have been excessive interpretation, so the true meaning of the works are covered up. In order to better understand the connotation of the works, we start from the text analysis. The two works in the text have shown the characteristics of ambiguity. This form of ambiguity is shown in three aspects: fuzzy images, similar characters and the subjective time. The theme image of “city” in the two works is vague and difficult to approach, let people have a sense of loneliness. At the same time， the two works both used the same technique of repeat to create similar image of the characters. The characters have become vague too. The use of subjective time is the two authors attempt to seek self in all of the ambiguity. The two works from the images, characters and subjective time three angles of the text to show that essence of the world, people, self is ambiguous and uncertain. The ambiguity is the authors' cognition of the world and the charm of the works, because that the ambiguity provides unlimited scope for the reader's interpretation. “Border town”as a traditional novel obtains the value and meaning of modernity too, because in a certain degree of correspondence with Kafka.
