论奥斯丁的实用婚姻观

On Jane Austen's Pragmatism in Terms of Marriage

简·奥斯丁的六部以恋爱婚姻为主题的小说中 ,作家在揭示周围人的婚姻观的同时也流露出她本人的婚姻观 ,即一切以实用为目的 ,只有实用的婚姻才是幸福的婚姻。但作家的道德观并不是影响这种保守婚姻观的决定因素 ,这种实用婚姻观的形成首先是由作者所生活的时代决定的 ,而作者本人的生活经历、生活环境便是构成这种见解的内在因素。

Jane Austen, the great realistic writer in the English literature, wrote altogether six complete novels centering on love and marriage. While giving a true account of the marriage view of the people around her with keen observation, Jane Austen reveals her own view on marriage, that is, marriage must be based on pragmatism and only this kind of marriage can result in happiness. This view, which is constant in all her novels, is not determined by her morality but by the historical background; while the author's life experience and living surroundings are also necessary elements.
