三种中国式穆斯林家庭的爱情与婚姻_英语论文

Three Kinds of Love and Marriage from a Chinese Muslim Family

摘要

国家一级回族女作家-霍达，创作了长篇小说《穆斯林的葬礼》并获得了第三届茅盾文学奖。被认为这是我国第一部成功地表现回族人民悠久历史和现实生活的长篇小说；小说主要讲述了一个制作玉器的穆斯林家庭六十年间的兴衰，三代人的沉浮命运，两个交错扭结的爱情悲剧。澳大利亚作家考琳·麦卡洛在被誉为澳大利亚的《飘》的《荆棘鸟》中所记叙的梅吉与拉尔夫神父的可歌可泣的爱情悲剧同样也是由宗教信仰导致的。这篇论文主要从宗教的角度分析《穆斯林的葬礼》中父母传统式的爱情，特殊社会背景下的爱情以及新生一代的爱情。 并将新生一代的爱情同《荆棘鸟》中梅吉与拉尔夫神父的爱情进行对比分析。最后揭示宗教影响下的三种爱情故事的根源和现实意义：爱情是从古至今文学和人们生活中经常谈论的话题；在当今开放的时代，人们的思想不再被过去的陈规旧条所束缚，现代人敢于打破宗教、时间，社会背景等因素的限制，能够独立的做出人生幸福的选择，勇于在爱情路上追寻属于自己真爱和幸福的婚姻。

The story is mainly about a Chinese Muslim family’s revival and recession in sixty years, the fate of three generations and two interweaving tragic love and marriage. Thorn Birds is regarded as Gone with the Wind in Australia and the love between Meggie and Ralph is also impressive but tragic. The thesis mainly analyzes three kinds of love and marriage from a Chinese Muslim Family in terms of religion. They are the traditional love of elder generation, the love in the special social surroundings and the new-born love, together with a contrast analysis between the new-born love and the love of Meggie and Ralph and make an exploration of the originality of three kinds of love as well as its connotation. From the ancient time to present today, love is an ever-long topic both in literature and people’s daily life and in such a contemporary society, people’s thoughts are no longer confined by rigid doctrines, instead, they are brave enough to break the limitations of religion, time and social circumstances and can make an independent choice while facing their life happiness and they are bold to pursue their true love and happy marriage, which really belongs to them in loving path.
