简·奥斯丁的作品多以英国中上层阶级为故事主角,描绘了一幅幅闲适、优雅的阶级生活景象。她笔下的人物和凡勃伦的“有闲阶级”论不谋而合。借助休闲学理论对奥斯丁作品中的人物及其休闲生活进行细读分析后发现,奥斯丁笔下的“有闲阶级”的休闲行为具有“明显有闲”和“明显消费”两大特点。 Jane Austen’s works mostly feature the middle-upper class of the United Kingdom as the protagonist of the story, depicting a scene of leisurely and elegant class life. The characters in her book coincide with Veblen’s “free-fall” theory. Through the analysis of the characters and their leisure life in Austen’s works by means of the theory of leisure studies, it is found that the leisure behaviors of “leisure class ” by Austen have “obvious leisure ” and “obvious Consumption ”two major characteristics.
