现代社会的价值混乱与精神空虚使T.S.艾略特希望能够重新联结传统与现在,并从中寻求意义与秩序,《荒原》即在这种情况下创作出来。诗人把自己的思想、感情、经验与历史神话、文学典故相融合,通过一定的形式,使其成为了一个复杂的类似于魔方的结构整体。这一新的整体由于众多元素的相互作用,展现了一个极其开放,并可以不断阐释的世界,从中我们看到了诗人赋予《荒原》的深刻内涵。 The value chaos and spiritual emptiness of modern society make T.S. Eliot hope to reconnect the tradition with the present and seek the meaning and the order from which the “wasteland” is created. The poet integrates his thoughts, feelings and experiences with historical myths and literary allusions, and through certain forms, makes it a complex whole structure similar to Rubik’s Cube. Due to the interaction of many elements, this new whole shows a world that is extremely open and can be explained constantly. From this we can see the profound connotation that the poet endowed with the “Waste Land”.
