简·奥斯汀小说中庄园的空间描写及其内涵

On Space Description and Its Connotation in Jane Austen 's Novels

简·奥斯汀小说的背景都置于她熟悉的乡村生活中,几乎都离不开庄园,每一部中都有一座或者好几座庄园。《傲慢与偏见》中女主人公伊丽莎白和男主人公达西在尼日斐庄园的舞会上初次见面暗生情愫,到彭伯利庄园两人误会消除,终成眷属;《曼斯菲尔德庄园》更是以庄园的名字来命名。奥斯汀笔下的庄园,既是一种实录式的描写,成功再现了18世纪英国庄园布局的某些显著的特点,同时也融入了自己的想象空间,赋予了庄园某些特定的文化内涵。

Jane Austen＇s novels always were set in her familiar rural life and were inseparable from the manor; each novel has one or several manor. In ＂Pride and Prejudice＂, Elizabeth firstly met and fell in love with Darcy at a dance meeting on the Nigerian manor .In Pemberley manor, they finally ironed out the misunderstanding and eventually unit in marriage; ＂Mansfield Park＂ is named after the manor. Austen＇s manor is a kind of real - life description which successfully reproduces some remarkable features of the 18th - century England manor and also incorporates her own imagination space to give the manor some specific cultural connotations.
