解读伯恩斯坦的语言诗“我的上帝有个态度问题”(英文)

An Interpretation of Charles Bernstein's "My God Has an Attitude Problem"

查尔斯.伯恩斯坦的诗学在其主题、措辞、意象等方面都具有反传统的性质。伯恩斯坦摒弃了传统诗人的诗歌与美学传统,强调其自身的诗歌创作美学。诗歌的特点体现在主题选材为细小琐碎之事、语言全局的非正常排列、句子结构的破裂、语法表述的无逻辑性、诗节内诗行的非理性化、抒情的空缺、意义理解的困难等。即便如此,他的诗歌里面依然有规则可寻,尽管非常隐蔽。"我的上帝有个态度问题"就是伯恩斯坦的艰涩难懂诗歌之一例。本文从不以英语为母语的读者视角对该诗的意义、格律、音韵等方面进行了分析与解读,力图探讨该诗所蕴涵的美学规则。

Charles Bernstein＇ s poems are rebellious against conventions in theme, diction, imagery and prosody. He intentionally abandons the poetic rules and aesthetics always abided by conventional poets, and puts emphasis on his own aesthetic principles. The features of his poetry include the trivialization of subjects, derangement of the language, fracture of syntactical structure, illogical expression in grammar, irrationalization of lines, lack of feeling in lyric, and semantical ambiguity. Nevertheless, in his poems there are some rules though hard to grasp. ＂My God Has an Attitude Problem＂ is an example of those abstruse, difficult poems. This article provides an analysis and interpretation of the meanings, meter, and rhyme of this poem from the perspective of a non-English-speaking reader with an attempt to explore its aesthetic rules.
