变异学理论虽然原属于比较文学学科,但微调后,可将之运用到其他研究领域。本文以变异学为理论视角切入“英语世界的古琴”这一问题。以文学变异研究例证为参照,对比研究发现,英语世界古琴的变异比文学跨语言流传所表现的变异更为复杂,其背后的深层次文化原因也较后者更为复杂。 Although the theory of variation belongs to comparative literature, it can be applied to other fields after fine-tuning. In this paper, the theory of variation is the theoretical perspective into the “Guqin in the English world ” this issue. Taking the illustration of literary variation as a reference, the comparative study found that the variability of the guqin in the English world is more complicated than that of cross-linguistic literature, and the underlying cultural reasons behind it are more complicated than the latter.
