英国文艺复兴时期的诗歌界群星璀璨,沃尔特·雷利爵士(Sir Walter Ralegh)便是其中一位。其诗《少女拒绝牧童》中的少女针对克里斯托弗·马洛的《多情牧童致爱人》中牧童热烈的田园爱情,并没有唱和顺从,反而以讽刺态度来发出属于女性自己独具一格的声音,这种声音在以男性为主体的文艺复兴时期是难能可贵的。从雷利背后最重要的两位女性和时代背景入手,以《少女拒绝牧童》的文本分析为基础,并回望这一时代不同阶层女性所传达的声音,以证实英国文艺复兴不仅是男性诗人的时代,也有女性声音的一席之地。
By releasing the book The Catcher in the Rye,J.D.Salinger received an immediate popularity of his writing career.Hissymbolic use of language has been thoroughly researched but the symbolic scenes which make up Holden's life stage,especiallythe symbolic connotations of ironic resting places in the novel,such as bed,couch and bedroom,has not been paid much attention.It tries to analyse the four scenes: on Holden's history teacher's bed,on the hotel bed with a prostitute,in his sister's bedroom,and on his English teacher's couch,and aims to discover his spiritual chaos as well as adolescent desires in the real world,demon-strating that there is no place for adolescent Holden to rest after he chooses his own stage of scenes in his life.
