人鱼的意象 荒原的主题——艾略特的《普鲁弗洛克的情歌》解读

The Image of Mermaid and the ＂Waste Land＂ Theme -- An Interpretation of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

美人鱼意象是《阿尔弗瑞德·普鲁弗洛克的情歌》中最为重要的意象，凸显了整首诗歌的意象群的内在联系。它对诗中主人公普鲁弗洛克丰富复杂、充满矛盾的内心世界的揭示，对诗歌主题意义的诠释起着至关重要的作用，是整首诗歌的灵魂。艾略特通过人鱼意象来展示现代西方社会人们空虚迷惘的生存状态，并凸显了其早期诗歌中的荒原主题。

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is one of T. S. Eliot＇ s first excellent poems. The image of Mermaid, which shows the internal relations of the image groups and reveals Prufrock＇s intricate inner world, is the key to approach the theme of this poem. Eliot describes the insignificant and empty life of modem people by presenting the magical image of Mermaid.
