贵族精神与民族气节——《刽子手》与《被俘的英雄》比较

Aristocracy Spirit and Lofty National Integrity——A Comparison between the two Works Slaughter and The Captured Hero

巴尔扎克的《刽子手》和泰戈尔的《被俘的英雄》是两部现实主义作品,前者赞扬了西班牙人在反法斗争中宁死不屈的英雄主义,其中所体现的是一种高度责任感和人格尊严的贵族精神;后者歌颂了锡克族反对莫卧儿王朝战斗中视死如归的豪杰气概,其中展现的是一种宁为玉碎,不为瓦全的民族气节。

Balzac＇s novel Slaughter and Tagore＇s novel The Captured Hero are both realistic works.The former praises the glorious rather die than surrender hero spirit of Spanish people in fighting France,whereas the latter glorifies the brave Sikh people in fighting the Mughal Dynasty and their facing death calmly courage.It shows their ＂would rather break than bend＂ nationality integrity.
