《托兰人》是1995年诺贝尔文学奖得主西默斯.希尼的著名诗作之一。沼泽为诗人的文学创作提供了极其重要的精神资源,而在沼泽地发现的“托兰人”尸体则寄托了诗人对北爱尔兰长期的宗教战争、民族冲突的关切与困惑。从民族、宗教文化层面对《托兰人》进行深入解读,可深切领会到诗人悲悯、迷茫、焦灼而痛苦的内心世界。 “Torland” is one of the famous poems of 1995 Nobel Prize winner Chesney. The swamp provided an extremely important spiritual resource for the literary creation of the poets. However, the body of the “Torland” discovered in the marshes lays the poet’s concern and perplexity over the long-term religious wars and ethnic conflicts in Northern Ireland. In-depth interpretation of the “Tolan people” from ethnic, religious and cultural levels can deeply understand the poet’s compassionate, confused, anxious and painful inner world.
