生命的沉重与轻盈——浅析曹禺剧作的整体象喻

Heaviness and Lightness of Life——Analyze the Use of Symbolism and Metaphor in Cao Yu's Dramas Superficially

曹禺的剧作从整体上来说,应属于现实主义范畴,但他的重要作品无不运用了象征和隐喻手法,这使得他对沉重的生命现实的透视染上了奇瑰的轻盈色彩。整体象喻在意境和意象的创造、神秘与宿命气息的附着、诗意的蒸馏三方面赋予了曹禺剧作动人的魅力。

Though Cao Yu＇s dramas are realistic on the whole, all his masterpieces employ symbolism and metaphor without exception, which adds a magnificent, cheerful and graceful color to his penetration into the gloomy reality in life. The use of symbolism and metaphor provides his works with charming glamour in terms of creation of artistic conceptions and images, attachment of mysterious and fatalistic atmosphere, as well as distillation of poetic flavor.
