劳伦斯与休斯生态伦理观及其动物诗歌比较研究

A Comparative Study on Ecological Ethics and Animal Poetry by D.H.Lawrence and Ted Hughes

劳伦斯和休斯的动物诗歌都体现出“众生平等”观,这既源于两位诗人所处时代背景和生活经历的相似,也源于劳伦斯对休斯的影响。比较两位诗人的生态伦理观和动物诗歌,可见同样表达对动物的敬畏与爱,劳伦斯的温暖明朗不同于休斯的冷酷血腥;共建生态和谐,劳伦斯的“批判人类中心主义”有别于休斯的“天人合一”。其差异的根源在于科技发展对生态环境的破坏和战争对英国的打击、达尔文进化论的影响以及休斯晚年对中国道家思想的接受。

Both D.H.Lawrence and Ted Hughes cherish the view that“all creatures are equal”in their animal poetry,which has something to do with the similarity in the historical background and their life experiences,as well as Lawrence's influence on Hughes.Comparing the ecological ethics in their animal poetry yields both similarities and differences:They both show reverence and love toward animals,yet Lawrence's warm and bright way differs from Hughes'cold and bloody side;they both cherish harmonious ecology,yet Lawrence's criticizing anthropocentrism differs from Hughes'consciousness that man is an integral part of nature and shoulder the responsibility to build a harmonious relationship with other creatures and nature.The roots of their similarities and differences are due to the impact of industrial revolution and world wars,Darwin's theory of evolution,and Hughes'acceptance of Taoism in his old age.
