《多弗海滩》以其灰色的情调,在歌颂大自然的瑰丽景色的同时,反映了英国维多利亚时代追求物质利益、缺乏文化修养和精神信仰的现状。该诗歌语言简洁、朴素,成为马修·阿诺德诗歌的代表作。 “Dover Beach” in its gray color, praising the magnificent scenery of nature at the same time, reflects the pursuit of material interests in the Victorian era, the lack of cultural accomplishment and spiritual belief in the status quo. The language of the poem is concise and simple, becoming the representative of Matthew Arnold’s poetry.
