罗大佑与鲍勃·迪伦歌词创作比较研究

A Comparison on the Lyrical Creations of Tayu Lo and Bob Dylan

同为声名显赫的唱作人,鲍勃·迪伦和罗大佑文艺创作的音乐性毋庸置疑,但其歌诗的文化价值和哲学思想还没有得到充分认识与研究。从二者词作所表现出相同的民间立场和诗性特质以及不同的哲学蕴含出发,解读他们在歌词创作中对底层身份的认同、对社会现实生活的高度关注和对通俗化口语的使用,结合其歌词本身的诗性特质与文化内涵的诗意表达,可以窥见当代美国人接受和预测“变”的积极态度,也能觉察中国知识分子对传统思想中“不变之变”哲理的深刻把握,有助于重新感受东西方歌诗传统与现代发展的契合与歧异。

As renowned librettists,Bob Dylan and Tayu Lo are exposed to no doubts on the musicality of their song-poems.But their cultural values and philosophical thoughts have not been fully exploited.This paper aims at unscrambling their recognition of the identity of lower classes,their deep concern for the current social life and their usage of colloquialism from their identical grassroots stance,similar poetics and different philosophical indications.By analyzing the unique poetic qualities of their lyrics and the poetic expressions of cultural connotations,we can see the popularity of Dylan's lyrics in the U.S.and contemporary American people's positive attitudes in predicting the"changes"and we can also perceive Tayu Lo's mastery of traditional Chinese thoughts in the philosophy of"invariable variability"(changing as the permanent law of the nature)while renewing the oriental nostalgic complex.
