“西流的小河”:爱情与时间的现象学阐释

"West-Running Brook":Phenomenological Interpretation of Love and Time

对罗伯特.弗罗斯特进行研究,"西流的小河"是一首不应忽略的好诗。"西流的小河"显著的特点在于其强烈的哲学意蕴。诗由男女二人对话组成,女主人公谈爱情,男主人公谈时间,而爱情与时间都与河流非同寻常地反向西流有关。诗人将诗情、爱情、时间、哲理交融在一起,充满着哲思上的智慧。论文从现象学的意向性与内在时间意识角度对诗歌进行了阐释。论文指出,诗中小河本身已不是客观的对象而是人的意向性的对象,而从内在时间意识的视角来看,小河的西流也不是水的流逝而是生命的流逝。诗歌所探索的人的存在的本源性问题所具有的哲理内涵,使得诗歌具有震撼人心的哲学上的力量。

＂West-Running Brook,＂ which is full of philosophical thinking, is an excellent poem that should not be neglected by Robert Frost researchers. The poem is made up of a dialogue be- tween a man and a woman, in which the woman talks about love while the man emphasizes time. The discussions of love and time are based on the brook＇ s unusual reversed running. This paper makes an analysis of the poem from the perspectives of intentionality and internal time- consciousness of phenomenology. The paper points out that the river in the poem is not the object in reality but an intentional one in man＇ s mind and from the perspective of internal time-con- sciousness the running of the river is in fact the running of life. The poem contains such philo- sophic value in exploring the nature of man＇ s being.
