香魂一缕随风散 愁绪三更入梦遥——略论中西悼亡诗之异同

Her Sweet Soul Is Gone with the Wind,Her Sorrows but a Dream,Drifting into the Night——A Comparison of Chinese and Western Memorial Poetries

悼亡诗作为抒情诗的一个"亚种",在不同的国域呈现出不同的风情。"梦"框架的建构是它们的共同特点之一,但在梦中悼亡者追忆的意象存在着较为明显的差异:中国"越琐屑,越见真至";西方往往和性、宗教等相关联。这一差异源于它们之间的文化差异。

Memorial poetry, as an ＂inferior kind＂ of Lyric, often demonstrates different customs in the different countries. The frame of ＂dream＂ is one of their common features, but the images of dreams are quite different in different countries. In China they often relate to the ＂trivial bits＂, while in the west, they often relate to sex, religion, ect. Those differences come from the cultural differences between them.
