自然与文学

Nature and Literature

文学始终反映人与自然的复杂关系。原始文化与早期文明将自然视为人类活动的重要一员;中国古典诗歌以其独特哲学实现了人与自然的相通;浪漫主义者则于作品中不断呼唤对自然的热爱。然而,殖民化与工业化却让自然扭曲为人类的造物。面对危机,文学作为时代的回声,展现出了自身的力量。无数伟大先驱以文学作品创造出人与自然紧密相连的黄金时代,而今时今日来自亚、非、拉丁美洲的全新一代又发出了与之呼应的回声。事实上,每一种声音都是一条不同的道路。只有这些声音并进,才能创造出和谐共存的新世界。

Literature has always been a reflection of the complicated relationship between human and nature. Primitive cultures and early civilizations believed that nature played an important role in human activities. Then Chinese classical poets managed to communicate with nature through their unique philosophy, while modern romanticists can＇t help expressing their deep love for nature. Pitiful- ly, modern colonization and industrialization treat nature as irresponsible as it is an artificial product of human being. Facing the challenge, literature, as an echo of its time, shows its power. Human and nature are tightly connected again thanks to the great works of many pioneering masters and the following new generation of writers from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Every voice of these writers indicates a different way. And only with these voices together can human create finally a new world of co-existence and harmony.
