陶潛和《列子》——讀《連雨獨飲》

Tao Qian and Lie Zi:Reading“Drinking Alone in a Continuous Rain”

從一段文本指向另一段文本有很多種方式,最常見的包括戲仿、重複、引喻、平行結構以及直接引用。一些學者認爲,所有的文本都是從其他文本'編職'而來的,有的是有意識而爲之,有的則是無意識的。本文首先回溯了一條從羅伯特·弗羅斯特到威廉·莎土比亞的互文線索,然後探索了陶潛(365-427)四首著名詩作中——特别是《連雨獨飲》——受到的潛在影響。本文認爲,《列子》中的一篇文章提供了這四首詩的基礎。由此,本文提出了《列子》對陶潛的重要性。

There are a number of ways by which one text can refer to another:parody,echo,allusion,structural parallelism,and direct quotation,to name the most obvious.Some scholars believe that all texts are woven from other texts,whether consciously or not.This study begins by tracing one inter-textual link from Robert Frost back to William Shakespeare.It then explores allusive influences on four of Tao Qian’s陶潛(365-427)best known poems,starting with a reading of“Drinking Alone in a Continuous Rain”,arguing that one particular passage in Lie Zi列子provides an underpinning for these four poems,and thereby suggesting the importance Lie Zi had for Tao Qian.
