17世纪文学

•17世纪文学1603年伊丽莎白女王去世后,英国国王与议会矛盾日趋激烈,政局动荡。
1649年1月国王查理一世被送上断头台,同年5月,英国宣布为共和国。
约翰·弥尔顿(John Milton, 1608-1674)积极投入资产阶级革命,曾任共和国政府拉丁秘书,写了不少文章捍卫共和国。
1660年,查理二世回国复辟,弥尔顿一度被捕入狱,在朋友帮助下才得免一死,获释回家。
在双目失明的状态下,他完成了长诗《失乐园》(Paradise Lost)和《复乐园》(Paradise Regained)、诗剧《力士参孙》(Samson Agonistes)。
这些作品反映了王政复辟后弥尔顿内心的痛苦以及对资产阶级革命始终不渝的态度,文体雄伟庄严。
•17世纪英国诗歌另外的一支是玄学派诗歌,代表诗人有约翰·邓恩(John Donne, 1572-1631)和安德鲁·马韦尔(Andrew Marvell, 1621-1678)。
玄学派诗歌的特点是采用奇特的意象和别具匠心的比喻,揉细腻的感情与深邃的思辩于一体。
玄学派诗歌在18和19世纪一直为世人所忽视,直到20世纪初,才从历史的尘封中重见天日,对现代主义诗风产生很大影响。
•王政复辟时期最受人欢迎的作家是约翰·班扬(John Bunyan, 1628-1688),他的《天路历程》(The Pilgrim's Progress)采用梦幻的形式讲述宗教寓言,但揭开梦幻的面纱,展现在读者面前的是17世纪英国社会的一幅现实主义图景。
•查理二世复辟后,被清教徒关闭的剧院重新开放,英国戏剧获得新生。
这一时期出现的风俗喜剧是当时戏剧的最高成就,威廉·康格里夫(William Congreve, 1670-1729)的《以爱还爱》(Love for Love)、《如此世道》(The Way of the World)等剧作是风俗喜剧的代表作品。

paradox(似非而是的隽语)与oxymoron(矛盾修辞)的比较与翻译

paradox(似非而是的隽语)与oxymoron(矛盾修辞)的比较与翻译
比较起来,paradox和oxymoron都是特殊的修辞形式,主要用来增强文章内容的表达力度,从而使文章更加鲜明有趣。
Paradox是用两个或更多的对称的观点来挑战常见的想法,虽然它们很相似,但有一些不同之处。
最明显的是,原则上,paradox包括的双重含义应该可以被解释为相反的看法而不矛盾,但它也可以表达看似矛盾但实际上真实的双重观点。
例如“失败乃成功之母”,这句话暗示在失败里潜藏着成功的可能,而这两种概念又脱离不开,又似乎可以相容。
另一方面,oxymoron是将冲突的概念结合在一起使用,并以此来表达较为众口禁止说话的概念或事实,准确概括被表达的话题。
一般来说,同时表达这两个完全相反的观点,可以被视为一种矛盾修辞。
例如“贫穷的富人”、“快乐的悲伤”等,这些短语可以表达一些聪明的思想和智慧,暗示文章深层次的内容,以更有力的表达方式阐明观点。
综上所述,paradox和oxymoron都是用精妙的语言技巧来塑造文章内容,可以使文章显得更加有力和深刻。
它们都可以增强表达的表现力,从不同的角度来提炼空旷的想法,让读者置身其中得以自由感受其中的精神和趣味。
然而,它们之间也存在差异,paradox是两个或多个似乎矛盾的观点的结合,而oxymoron是将两个或更多冲突的观点结合以表达矛盾的原则。
