“儿童乃成人之父”和“灵魂前存在”是华兹华斯儿童观的两大理念。诗人的早年生活和当时的社会文化环境对诗人儿童观的形成产生了重要影响。华氏的儿童观对改变当时儿童的处境起了很大作用,并为现代人类走出文明困境指出了方向。 “Children are the Father of Adults” and “The Presence of the Soul” are two of Wordsworth’s notions of children. The poet’s early life and the social and cultural environment at that time had an important influence on the formation of the poet’s view of children. Fahrenheit’s view of children played a significant role in changing the situation of the children at the time, and pointed out the direction for modern mankind to step out of the predicament of civilization.
