摘要
英国18世纪感伤主义小说家劳伦斯·斯特恩在其代表作《多情客游记》中大肆刻画和渲染主人公约里克牧师多愁善感、恣意放纵、贪图女色的本性。虽然身为神职人员,劳伦斯·斯特恩把牧师仅作为其谋生的职业,过着一面布道、主持弥撒,一面聚集放荡朋友寻欢作乐的双重而伪善的生活。小说折射了作家本人及时行乐、游戏人生的消极态度,反映了其逃避社会责任和宗教伦理的道德缺陷。
Laurence Sterne,one of the 18th-century representative sentimentalist writers,vividly describes and exaggerates the protagonist Pastor Yorick's wanton indulgence and his lust for women in A Sentimental Journey,his masterpiece.As a professional pastor,Laurence Sterne led a hypocritical,double life in that he preached and made masses seriously in public while gathering loose friends to indulge in merry-making life in private.His novel reflected his own life attitude of carpe diem and his moral flaws in the evasion of social and religious responsibilities.
