论叶芝名诗《丽达与天鹅》的政治与性别维度
论叶芝名诗《丽达与天鹅》的政治与性别维度翟莹莹【摘要】爱尔兰著名诗人威廉·巴特勒·叶芝的《丽达与天鹅》以神话暴力和性色彩著称，具有突出的政治与性别维度，在文本阐释上充盈着理论张力。
这首诗隐含了对爱尔兰民族运动的政治期望，以及对整个人类历史命运的思考；体现了诗人对女性的矛盾观点：一方面将女性置于男权话语的被动地位，另一方面又将女性作为历史主体的代表，构成了政治与性别研究的重要问题框架。
%The famous Irish poet William Butler Yeats’s“Leda and the Swan”is wellknown for its myth of violence and sexual color, with the prominent political and gender dimensions, and its text interpretation filled with the tension of theory. The poem implies the political expectations for Irish nationalist movement, as well as the reflection of the fate of the whole human history;it reflects the poet’s contradictory views on the female:on the one hand, the author puts the female in the passive position according to patriarchal discourse, on the other hand, he treats the female as the representative of the history subject, and constitutes the important problematic in the study of politics and gender.【期刊名称】《玉林师范学院学报》【年(卷),期】2014(000)004【总页数】5页(P66-69,86)【关键词】叶芝;丽达与天鹅;爱尔兰;政治维度;性别研究【作者】翟莹莹【作者单位】广西师范大学文学院，广西桂林 541004【正文语种】中文【中图分类】I109.5叶芝的名诗《丽达与天鹅》作于1924年，其文本阐释充满了张力，可以从新批评、精神分析、政治蕴涵和性别研究等方面进行探讨。

William Butler Yeats 英语诗歌理解-叶芝
Style
He was a Symbolist poet, in that he used allusive imagery and symbolic structures throughout his career. His use of symbols is usually something physical that is both itself and a suggestion of other, perhaps immaterial, timeless qualities. Yeats was a master of the traditional forms. The impact of modernism on his work can be seen in the increasing abandonment of the more conventionally poetic diction of his early work in favor of the more austere language and more direct approach to his themes that increasingly characterizes the poetry and plays of his middle period His later poetry and plays are written in a more personal vein, and the works written in the last twenty years of his life include mention of his son and daughter, as well as meditations on the experience of growing old. While Yeats' early poetry drew heavily on Irish myth and folklore, his later work was engaged with more contemporary issues, and his style underwent a dramatic transformation.

叶芝十首最出名的诗原文
叶芝十首最出名的诗原文1. 《当你老了》（When You Are Old）原文（佚名译）：当你老了，白发苍苍，睡意朦胧，在炉前打盹，请取下这本诗篇，慢慢吟诵，梦见你当年的双眼，那柔美的光芒与青幽的晕影；多少人真情假意，爱过你的美丽，爱过你欢乐而迷人的青春，唯独一人爱你朝圣者的心，爱你日益凋谢的脸上的哀戚；当你佝偻着，在灼热的炉栅边，你将轻轻诉说，带着一丝伤感：逝去的爱，如今已步上高山，在密密星群里埋藏它的赧颜。
另有译文（袁可嘉译）：当你老了，头白了，睡意昏沉，炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和，回想它们昔日浓重的阴影；多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰，爱慕你的美丽，假意或真心，只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹；垂下头来，在红光闪耀的炉子旁，凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝，在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞。
2. 《柯尔庄园的天鹅》（The Swans at Coole）原文（裘小龙译）：树木披上了美丽的秋装，林中的小径一片干燥，在十月的暮色中，流水把静谧的天空映照，一块块石头中漾着水波，游着五十九只天鹅。
自从我第一次数了它们，十九度秋天已经消逝，我还来不及细数一遍，就看到它们一下子全部飞起，形成大而破辞的圆圈翱翔。
此刻心中涌起一阵悲痛，一切都变了，自从第一次在河边，也正是暮色朦胧，我听到天鹅在我头上鼓翼，于是脚步就更为轻捷。
还没有疲倦，一对对情侣，在冷冷的友好的河水中前行或展翅飞入半空，总是有着激情，还要赢得爱情。
可有一天我醒来，它们已飞去，哦它们会筑居于哪片芦苇丛、哪一个池边、哪一块湖滨，使人们悦目赏心？3. 《茵湖岛/湖心岛茵尼斯弗利岛》（The Lake Isle of Innisfree）原文（飞白译）：我就要起身走了，到茵尼斯弗利岛，造座小茅屋在那里，枝条编墙糊上泥；我要养上一箱蜜蜂，种上九行豆角，独住在蜂声嗡嗡的林间草地。
那儿安宁会降临我，安宁慢慢儿滴下来，从晨的面纱滴落到蛐蛐歇唱的地方；而黄昏织满了红雀的翅膀。

丽达与天鹅-叶芝
Leda And The Swan by W.B.Yeats丽达与天鹅叶芝A sudden blow: the great wings beating still above the staggering girl,劲⻛风掠过：巨⼤大翅膀在挣扎的⼥女女孩身体上her thighs caressed by the dark webs，⽆无声翕张，⿊黑⾊色翼⽖爪摸她的双腿，her nape caught in his bill,巨喙叼她的颈项，He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.他箍紧她⽆无助的胸脯，贴上了了⾃自⼰己的胸膛。
How can those terrified vague fingers push她惊惧犹疑的⼿手指The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?怎能推开松开的双腿间⽻羽饰的荣耀？And how can body, laid in that white rush,⽩白灯⼼心草上放倒的躯体But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?⼜又怎能抗拒这奇异的⼼心跳？A shudder in the loins engenders there这腰间的⼀一耸The broken wall, the burning roof and tower只⻅见那断了了的墙垣，那燃起的穹顶和塔And Agamemnon dead.那阿伽⻔门农死掉。
Being so caught up,如此的蹂躏与征服So mastered by the brute blood of the air,就来⾃自他天上的兽性魔⾎血。
Did she put on his knowledge with his power在被冷漠的⻦鸟嘴放下之前Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?她汲取了了他那充满⼒力力量量的头脑？。

Martin Clayton, a royal art adviser, said theportrait's owner is Queen Elizabeth II. He added that the image was made by one of Leonardo'sassistants shortly before his death. Clayton said the“straight nose" and other details look very muchlike the only other known portrait of Leonardo done in his lifetime. That picture was the work ofItalian painter Francesco Melzi. It will be on display at the Queen's Gallery with about 200 drawingsfrom her collection of Leonardo's works.On Thursday, the presidents of Italy and France gathered in the French town of Amboise tomark the anniversary of the artist's death. He spent the final years of his life in the town. Today artlovers around the world are celebrating Leonardo's work. He is considered a true Renaissance man,working not only as an artist, but as a scientist and inventor.“There really hasn't been anybody thenor since who has combined this extraordinary genius for these totally different areas," said GregoryRubinstein. He is the worldwide head of Old Master drawings at Sotheby's auction house.“I thinkthat's what's at the heart of our fascination."Sotheby's announced Thursday that an important Leonardo drawing is going on display in itsNew York offices next month. The drawing, called “Leda and the Swan", was painted in 1506. It isbased on a story from Greek mythology (神话). It has not been shown in public since 2003.Leonardo appears to have made the painting while he was also working on“Mona Lisa", his mostwell-known painting. The Mona Lisa hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Rubenstein said the“very complete and very beautiful" drawing appears to have been preparatory work for a paintingthat was never made or was lost. “It's a very mysterious one because there is no survivingrecord.and no painting survives," he said.4. How will the British remember Leonardo this year?A. By exhibiting a portrait of Leonardo.B. By holding a party at the royal family.C. By showing Melzi's work of Leonardo.D. By displaying Queen's collection of works.5. Why did the presidents of Italy and France go to Amboise?A. To visit the Queen's Gallery.B. To remember Leonardo da Vinci.C. To attend the funeral of Leonardo.D. To celebrate the anniversary of the Renaissance.6. Why are people so fascinated by Leonardo?A. He is a true lover of art.B. He is a genius in everything.C. He is a person with many gifts.D. He is a man living in the Renaissance.7. What do we know about“Leda and the Swan??A. It is about a mysterious Italian story.B. It is a rarely seen Leonardo drawing.C. It was painted by Leonardo's assistant.D. It is a preparatory work for“Mona Lisa".CInspired by how dandelions (蒲公英) use the wind to distribute their seeds, a University ofWashington team has developed a tiny sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind. Itcould provide unique insights for a variety of applications, including digital agriculture andmonitoring climate change.This system is about 30 times as heavy as a I milligram dandelion seed but can still travel up to100 meters in a gentle wind, about the length of a football field, from where it is released. Once onthe ground, the device, with at least four sensors, uses solar panels to power its onboard electronicsand can share sensor data up to 60 meters away.To keep things light, the team used solar panels instead of conventional batteries. The challenge is that without a battery the system can't store a charge, which means after the sun goes down, thesensors stop working. In some cases, thismight result in data losses. So the team included acapacitor, a device that can store some charge overnight.To measure how far the devices would travel in the wind, the researchers dropped them fromdifferent heights, either by hand or by drone. One trick to spread out the device from a single droppoint is to vary their shapes slightly so they are carried by the wind differently. "This is mimickingbiology (仿生学), where variation is actually a feature, rather than a bug," said co author ThomasDaniel, a UW professor of biology.“Plants can't guarantee that where they grow up this year isgoing to be good next year, so they have some seeds that can travel farther away. It's like puttingeggs in different baskets."With further improvements, the technology definitely has good prospects. “We can createdevices that change shape as they fall, or facilitate some more mobility once they are on the groundto get closer to an area we're curious about," said the lead author Shyam Gollakota, another UWprofessor.8. How does the author introduce the device in Paragraph 2?A. By offering examples.B. By listing reasons.C. By making comparisons.D. By giving figures.9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. The superior flying capacity.B. The reason for shape adjustment.C. The complex building procedure.D. The increasingly wide application.10. What's the author's attitude to solar-powered sensors?A. Critical.B. Unconcerned.C. Favorable.D. Doubtful.11. What's the purpose of the text?A. To introduce a device.B. To clarify a concept.C. To explain a phenomenon.D. To advertise a product.DAs a historian who's always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate thepast, I've become occupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling.I've found quite a few, but disappointingly my collection of 'Smiling Victorians' makes up only atiny percentage of the vast ocean of photographic portraits (肖像画) created between 1840 and 1900the majority of which show sitters posing like marble statues in front of painted backdrops, or staringabsently intothe middle distance. How do we explain this trend?During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure time was shockinglylong: the daguerreotype photographic method (银版照相法) could take several minutes to complete,resulting in unclear images as sitters shifted position or adjusted their arms and legs. So a blank stareinstead of a fixed smile became the norm. But exposure time was much shorter by the 1880s. Naturalsmiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation ofwhy Victorians still hesitated to smile.One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy smile. "Nature gave uslips to cover our teeth," ran one popular Victorian saying, indicating an easy-to-ignore fact thatbefore the birth of proper dentistry, mouths and iregular and yellow teeth were like peas and carrots.A flashing set of healthy and clean, regular pearly white teeth was a rare sight in Victorian society,the preserve of the super-rich.A toothy smile, especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth, lacked class: Drunks,beggars, and some music hall performers might makes faces and smile with a laugh as wide 8s LewisCarroll's gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly brought-up people.Even Mark Twain, a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographicportraits there could be“nothing more stomach-turning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever".12. What do the underlined words“this trend" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Collectors' preference for portraits.B. Victorians' tension before the camera.C. Historians' search for new photographs.D.

Leda and the Swan
W.B.Yeats
A sudden blow：the great wings beating still Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? And how can body, laid in that white rush, But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up.
So mastered by the brute blood of the air
Did she put on his knowledge with his power Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
丽达与天鹅
叶芝
猝然猛袭：在蹒跚的少女身上，
巨大的翅膀无声地拍击，黑色的羽翼抚弄她的大腿，嘴衔着她的颈项，他把她无助的胸脯紧贴他的胸脯。
那恐惧的、游移不定的手指又怎能从松开的腿间推开那白羽的荣光？躺在雪白的灯心草里的躯体，
怎能不感到那里奇异的心跳！。
