生命意义的追问——“明月几时有”和“Tobeornottobe”之比较

Inquiring the Meaning of Life——A comparative study of" When did the first moon appear" and" To be or not to be"

"明月几时有"和"Tobeornottobe"都是对生命意义的追问,两首诗歌都生动再现了人类面对困境所产生的出世与入世、生与死的思想斗争,以及人类对未知世界的畏惧和对现实世界的无奈的艰难处境。不同的追问方式和对追问结果的不同反思折射出诗人不同的文化视角。

'When did the first full moon appear' and' To be or not to be' are inquiries of the meaning of life. The two poems reflect the inner conflicts of the poets between going into the reality and going out of the reality, and life and death. They also reflect the fear of the unknown world and the helplessness of the reality. Different ways of the inquiry and different evaluations of the answer reflect the culture perspective of the poets.
