摘要
威斯坦•休•奥登(Wystan Hugh Auden)是英语诗歌史上著名的诗人。作为一名诗人、剧作家、文学评论家和自由主义者,奥登对20世纪的英语诗歌有着举足轻重的影响。《某晚当我外出散步》(As I Walked out One Evening)是他最为出名的诗歌之一,这首诗意蕴丰富、涵义多重,探讨了人生、时间、爱情和幻灭等主题。本文试图从文体学的角度出发,以文本细读的方法探求诗行背后所承载的复杂含义,解读诗中种种“诚实的欺骗”,以求更加深入地理解诗人对待爱情、时间和死亡的态度。本文由以上的研究分析可得:奥登在本诗中认为时间是万物的主人,没有什么能够战胜时间,甚至是爱。诗人在诗中有意描述了一些不可能发生的事件,可以称之为“诚实的欺骗”,以此来强调本诗的主题,并产生一定的文学戏剧效果。本文拟从夸张、反讽和讽刺这三个层面进行阐述,这是文体学中的三大主要修辞手法。
Being an English poet, playwright, critic, and librettist, Wystan Hugh Auden exerted a major influence on the poetry of the 20th century. One of his most famous poems, As I Walked out One Evening is a complex poem about life, love, death, and disillusionment. This essay attempts to analyze the concept of “Honest Deception” behind the lines from the perspective of stylistics and by using the technique of close reading, unveiling speaker’s attitude towards love, time and mortality, that is, nothing can conquer time even love. The poet uses “Honest Deception” in this poem to emphasize its themes, thus producing literary dramatic effects. The argumentation will carry on from the following three aspects: hyperbole, irony and sarcasm, which are the three main styles of Honest Deception in stylistics.
