摘要
《公爵夫人之书》是乔叟的第一部重要诗作,它包含的神学观念和人生追求在诗人以后的创作中被不间断地延续了下去。从诗中的"自然"一词来看,它首先指作为创造者的自然之神,这位神祇运用和谐的自然法则呵护和指引万物合理生存,赐予人类爱的天性,使人类因爱而品性高贵、生活美满,还用人性的、现实主义的方式抚慰人类的痛苦和创伤。"自然"的丰富内涵使这首悼亡诗最终赞美了人性的美好、讴歌尘世世界中的幸福。
The theological thought and ideal life in The Book of the Duchesse, Chaucer' s first im- portant poetry, had been kept on in Chaucer' s other works afterward. The word "nature" in this poem firstly pointed to the god of nature which created everything on earth. This god protected and instructed man the fight way of existence by means of harmonious natural law, gave human beings the ability of love so they can have noble character and achieve a happy life by the inspiria- tion of love, and solaced the suffering and loss of man in a humanistic and realistic way. So this elegy admired the goodness of humanity and the happiness of the earth.
