英美文学 要点中英文对照版16

(III)Alfred Tennyson阿尔弗雷德.丁尼生 27. He was appointed the Poet Laureate.丁尼生被授予“桂冠诗人”的荣誉。
28. Tennyson’s poetic career is also marked out by Idylls of the King (the Celtic legends of King Arthur).丁尼生另一部代表作是《国王诗歌集》,故事源于凯尔特民族关于亚瑟王与他的圆桌骑士的传说。
29. For one thing, the moral standards and sentiments reflected in the poem belong to the Victorians rather than to the medieval royal people. For the other, the story of the rise and fall of King Arthur is, in fact, meant to represent a cyclic history of western civilization.其一是因为诗中道德标准及情感都属于维多利亚并非中世纪的贵族;其二是因为故事中亚瑟王的崛起与衰败其实就是西方文明周而复始的历史写照。(《国王诗集》并不是古代传奇简单的翻版,而是对古典神话的现代诠释?)
30. Tennyson is a real artist. He has the natural power of linking visual picture with musical expressions.丁尼生是一位善于将可视的风景图画与极富乐感的表达语汇及多姿多彩的情感非常自然的糅合在一起的艺术家。
31. The dreaminess of Spenser, the majesty of Milton, the natural simplicity of Wordsworth, the fantasy of Blake and Coleridge, the melody of Keats and Shelley, and the narrative vigor of Scott and Byron.丁尼生的创作不仅体现了他自身的天才,还体现了英国灿烂的诗歌传统,从斯宾塞的梦幻到弥尔顿的壮丽,从华兹华斯的自然简洁到布莱克与科勒律治的奇异诡谲,从雪莱与济慈的旋律美到司格特与拜伦的叙事天才,这一切丰富多彩的品质都在丁尼生笔下有所体现。 (IV).Robert Browning罗伯特.布朗宁 32. Like Browning’s other characters in their monologues, these people unconsciously reveal their own characters in the story.正像布朗宁其他独白作品种的人物,这些人也不自觉地通过讲述故事暴露了自己的性格特点。
33. The name of Browning is often associated with the term: “ dramatic monologue.”《指环与书》一诗使布朗宁成为英国最伟大的诗人之一。
34. To Browning, the dramatic monologue is an ingenious means to exploit his literary gift without getting too personal.对布朗宁来说,戏剧独白是一种既能开发文才,又可与角色保持一定距离的灵活方式。
(V)George Eliot乔治.艾略特 35. Then there came successively her three most popular novels, Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss and Silas Marner.而后她的三部代表作相继问世:《亚当.贝德》、《费洛斯河上的磨房》以及《织工拉斯.马奈尔》
36. In1872, Middlemarch, a panoramic book considered today by many to be George Eliot’s greatest achievement.1872年,《弥都玛持镇》问世,这部作品是她最好的作品。
37. By joining the worlds of inward propensity and outward circumstances and showing them both operating in the lives of her characters, she initiates a new type of realism and sets into motion a variety of developments, leading in the direction of both the naturalistic and psychological novel.通过将自己的内心世界与外在环境结合起来,并把两者注入对角色的塑造之中,艾略特开创了一种新型的现实主义,并进一步朝着自然主义与心理分析小说发展。
38. In her works, she seeks to present the inner struggle of a soul and to reveal the motives, impulses and hereditary influences which govern human action.在作品中,她努力的表现人们灵魂深处的斗争,揭示那种驾驭人类行为的动机,冲动及遗传影响。
39. George Eliot shows a particular concern for the destiny of women, especially those with great intelligence, potential and social aspirations.艾略特特别关心女性的命运,尤其是那些才华出众,渴望步入社会的女性。
40. In her mind, the pathetic tragedy of women lies in their very birth.艾略特认为女人的不幸是出生时就随身带来的。
41. Middlemarch: but both fail in achieving their goals owing to the social environment as well as their own vulnerabilities. 《弥都玛持镇》:小说的两个女性主角都具有潜在资质与雄雄野心,但都因为社会环境与自身弱点的限制没能达到人生目标。
