异质文化下的视角差异——析拉扎鲁斯的犹太情怀和朗费罗的异托邦印象

Different Points of View in Heterogenous Cultures——Analysis ofJewish Complex in Lazarus and Heterotopias Impression of Longfellow

拉扎鲁斯和朗费罗同为19世纪美国著名诗人,二人分别以犹太人的命运为主题作诗《新港的犹太教堂》和《新港的犹太公墓》,作为同一个时代的诗人,他们写这两首诗所采用的韵律相同,诗体相同,所描述的主题也大致相同,但给读者的感受却大相径庭。通过对比分析两首诗及两位作者的写作背景,可以看出美国犹太诗人爱玛·拉扎鲁斯诗中所表现的犹太情怀和美国本土诗人朗费罗诗中的异托邦印象,说明导致两位诗人认同差异的根本原因。

Emma Lazarus and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow are two famous American poets in 19 thcentury.Taking Jew's destiny as a theme,they wrote"In the Jewish Synagogue at Newport"and"The Jewish Cemetery at Newport"respectively.As the poets of the same era,they adopted the same rhythm,the same style and even the same theme,but reader's actual feeling left by the two poems is entirely different.Through a contrastive analysis between the Jewish complex in Lazarus and heterotopias impression of Longfellow,the paper analyzes the very reason for the different understandings.
