劝人从良的贵族子弟
《世界名著全知道》(九十四)
一、《黛依丝》主要表现了作者法朗士对天主教会的不满。名著主角巴福尼斯是一个贵族子弟,故事概括就是主角劝美貌放荡的女演员黛依丝从良(被成功说服进了修道院)。
1. "Thaïs" primarily expresses its author Anatole France's dissatisfaction with the Catholic Church. The protagonist of this masterpiece, Paphnutius, is a nobleman's son. The story can be summarized as the protagonist persuading the beautiful and dissolute actress Thaïs to reform her life—successfully convincing her to enter a convent.
二、《黛依丝》是法朗士创作的第一部历史小说,他凭借自己渊博的历史和宗教知识,栩栩如生地再现了古代埃及五光十色的风貌,使小说具有极强的艺术魅力。
2. "Thaïs" was Anatole France's first historical novel. Drawing on his profound knowledge of history and religion, he vividly recreates the vivid and colorful landscape of ancient Egypt, endowing the novel with powerful artistic charm.
三、沙漠里的苦修和城市里的鲜花美景的巨大反差,包含了法朗士对基督教的辛辣讽刺。他认为爱神比上帝更强大,苦修根本毫无意义,是一种愚蠢的行为。
3. The stark contrast between the ascetic practices in the desert and the beautiful, flower-filled scenes in the city contains Anatole France's sharp satire of Christianity. He believed that the God of Love is more powerful than the Christian God, and that asceticism is ultimately meaningless—a foolish act.
四、在小说里黛依丝是爱情和生活的化身,她放荡一生升入了天国,巴福尼斯苦修一世却坠入了地狱。
4. In the novel, Thaïs embodies love and life. Despite her dissolute life, she ascends to Heaven, while Paphnutius, after a lifetime of asceticism, falls into Hell.
五、《黛依丝》无情地嘲弄了信仰狂们的苦行和忏悔,称得上是一部反基督教的宣言。法朗士善于把丰富美妙的想象和寓意深刻的哲理融为一体,巧妙地利用动人的故事传说来猛烈抨击现实,使人们既能得到艺术享受,又能得到教益和鼓舞。
5. "Thaïs" mercilessly mocks the asceticism and penance of religious fanatics, making it a veritable anti-Christian manifesto. Anatole France skillfully blends rich, wonderful imagination with profound philosophy, cleverly using moving stories and legends to fiercely critique reality. This allows readers to gain both artistic enjoyment and enlightenment and inspiration.
