摘要
简.奥斯丁的作品不以描写"强烈的感情"见长,相反,读者和评论家一直把她视为追求平和、沉稳、内敛、理智的情感的代言人和实践者,一个观点偏保守、致力于维护传统的小说家。其被公认为最成熟的小说《爱玛》中弗兰克赠给简的钢琴在小说中具有丰富的象征意义:它是浪漫爱情的纽带,它是开放与封闭两种人生观矛盾的集中体现,它是对爱玛进行"开眼"教育的工具。钢琴是《爱玛》中不可或缺、不可替代的道具,隐藏在钢琴之后的这段常被忽视的爱情故事显现了奥斯丁笔下被忽视的另一种爱情和生活态度。
Jane Austen was not good at describing strong feeling. Instead, she was considered by readers and critics as spokesman and practitioner who sought peace, prudence, introversion and wisdom. She was a novelist whose idea tended to be conservative and who tried to maintain tradition. Her novel Emma was most mature. In the novel, piano Frank give to Jane had rich symbolic meaning. It was the link of romantic love as well as the embodiment of contradiction of life view of openness and conservation. It was a tool for Emma to get education. It was an irreplaceable property. The love story behind the piano showed Austen's other attitude toward love and life.
