摘要
弗罗斯特是一个正统基督徒但他自己又说他的宗教情怀不正统,正统与非正统矛盾统一于诗人的思想与情感深处:矛盾于如何看待上帝,统一于对基督教义包括对上帝的理性认知。弗罗斯特的宗教观是面向现实人生的宗教观。弗罗斯特的眼光不投向天国,而投向现实人生。人应该努力主宰自己的命运而不应该将自己的命运寄托在上帝身上,不应该奢望上帝在人间实施公正与仁慈。弗罗斯特面向现实人生的宗教观并不意味着他真的反对基督教,他反对的是不分是非、不辨善恶、盲目、迷信地进行偶像崇拜,反对不关注现实人生而关注虚无缥缈的天国。这其实是对宗教意义真正的了解和认知。
Frost is an orthodox Christian but he said his religious faith was not orthodox. Thus, orthodox and unorthodox are contradictory and unified in the poet' s thoughts and emotions: con- tradiction in how to understand God, and unification in Christianity including the rational cogni- tion of God. This article holds the view that Frost puts emphasis on real life instead of the king- dom of Heaven. Frost' s religious belief is the faith in the true life, in which people should deter- mine their own destiny and should not put their hope on God and expect God to carry out justice and mercy on earth. However, his reality-affirming faith doesn' t mean that he is opposed to Christian religion. What he really objects to is the fetishism and the illusory kingdom of heaven which are shown in two aspects: one is the failure to distinguish right from wrong, and the other the lack of concern about the true life. Actually, this point of view is the true understanding and awareness of the religious faith.
