【摘要】 菲利普·拉金善于在日常生活本身的喜怒哀乐之中来回穿梭,清晨、夜晚、风等宇宙万物都被统摄到其诗歌当中,形成了丰富多彩的诗歌意象体系。在这一体系中,“时间”这个词以及指示时间的意象占据着核心位置。拉金将一种个性化的时间体验渗透在其诗歌意象的营造过程中,使这些意象浸润着强烈的时间意识,这种时间意识在多个层面影响着其诗歌主题的表达。其一:拉金在时间流转中展开生命旅程,对生命和死亡进行书写。诗人在时间交织的网中镌刻死亡的烙印,对人类命运中无法摆脱的死亡进行真挚的拷问。其二:死亡的焦虑感促使拉金从爱情中寻找战胜时间的救赎力量,进而扩展生命的意义和价值。在无限的时间之流中,拉金展示了两种迥异的爱情观,使诗中的爱情主题具有浓郁的时间意识。其三:拉金的时间意识是其诗中历史描述的前提。历史贯穿于过去、现在和未来的时间性整体之中,在诗中形成一条潜在的历史时间链。在历史时间链中,拉金对过去进行追忆,表现出向后看的历史意识。这种历史意识是一种情感的逆流,而非简单地为了打破持续向前的线性时间流向。拉金并没有沉浸在对过去的追忆之中而刻意回避当下的时间。相反,诗人在过去和现在的融合中尝试缝合历史时间链的断裂,把对过去的深情怀恋和对现在客观冷静的描述巧妙地并置,从而让历史得以更加真实和全面地被保存和记录。

【Abstract】 Philip Larkin mobilized morning, night, wind and so on with the intellectual language to form a variety of poetic imagery system. In this system, the word "time" and the images referring to time occupied the heart position. A personal experience of time permeated the construction of Larkin’s poetic images so that time consciousness strongly soaked in these images and influenced the expression of the themes at multiple levels. Firstly, Larkin opened life’s journey and wrote the life and the death as time changed and passed by. The poet sincerely quested and branded death in the net of time. Secondly, the anxiety of death caused by time urged Larkin to look for the salvation force prevailing over time in love, then proceed to extend the meaning and value of life. Larkin showed two widely differing kinds of views on love in the unlimited flow of time. Thirdly, Larkin’s consciousness of time was the premise of his historical representation. History through the past, the present and the future into the overall time and formed a potential line of historical time in the poem. In the historical timeline, Larkin recalled the past and showed backward-looking historical consciousness. This kind of historical consciousness was just an emotional countercurrent and tried not to break the flow of linear time continuous forward. Larkin did not immerse into the remembrance of the past so as to deliberately evade the present time. On the contrary, the poet tried to suture the fracture of the historical timeline in the fusion of the past and the present, juxtapose the deep feelings of the past and the cool description of the present so that history could be saved and documented more realistically and comprehensively.
