贵族阶级在阿诺德作品中呈现出不同的形象。他们是曾经辉煌的守旧者,墨守成规、闭目塞听;也是外表华丽的思想空壳,注重外在的气质,沉溺于过去美好的事物,缺乏对未来发展的绸缪;还是理智欠缺的野蛮人,偏离文化轨道,缺乏理智之光,只专注于普通自我而不去追求优秀自我。 The aristocracy showed a different image in Arnold’s work. They are brilliant old-fashioned people, sticking to conventions and obstructing their eyes and ears; they are also gorgeous ideological shells, emphasizing the external temperament, indulging in beautiful things of the past, lacking preparation for future development, savagery lacking reason, Deviation from the cultural track, the lack of rational light, only focus on ordinary self rather than the pursuit of outstanding self.
