几多悲伤寄幽冥——浅析苏轼与弥尔顿悼亡诗

Mourning of the Departed——Analysis of Su Shi and Milton's Memorial Poem

悼亡诗是爱情诗的一个"亚种",结合了爱情与死亡这两大永恒的主题。宋代词人苏轼的《江城子》与英国诗人弥尔顿的《梦亡妻》在中西悼亡诗史上占有极其重要的地位,两诗具有相同的主题和创作背景,但是表达方式上却迥然相异,细细分析,我们会发现这不同的表达方式背后隐藏的却是中西方文化、宗教和历史背景的差异。本文拟从文本出发解读这两首诗的情感表达,并从中西爱情观和诗歌功用理论这两方面来探讨中西悼亡诗差异及文化根源。

Memorial poem is a sub-species of love poetry combining an eternal theme of love and death. Su Shi＇s masterpiece Jiang Cheng Zi and Milton＇s famous poem On His Deceased Wife occupy an impor-tant position in the Chinese and Western history. The two memorial poems possess the same theme and creation background, but the way of expression is quite different. Through elaborate analysis, we？ll find that the conspicuous discrepancies lie on cultural, religious and historical differences between the East the and West.
