反抗与覆灭——图形-背景视阈下《雨中的鹰》分析

Revolt and Doom:On The Hawk in the Rain from the Perspective of Figure-Ground

图形-背景理论中的图形背景分离原则不但是空间组织的一个基本认知原则,也是语言组织概念内容的一个基本认知原则。借助该理论,复杂的语言可以被分解成直观易懂的图形和背景,读者可以从感官上直接探知表述者语言的焦点所在以及焦点的变化。泰德·休斯的诗《雨中的鹰》是一首颇具象征性的诗,其中不乏一些激烈的情景冲突,具有明显的图形-背景特征。

The principle of figure-ground segregation is the basic cognitive principle according to which not only the space but also concepts are organized. Complex language can be transformed into intuitive and intelligible figures and grounds, while readers can easily grasp the focus of language and its change. The Hawk in the Rain is a symbolic poem written by Ted Hughes, with a lot of conflicts in different scenes, and figure-ground characteristics.
