摘　　要：评论家们不是把《亚当.比德》简单地视为田园生活方式的挽歌,就是把它看作为新兴统治阶级服务的一项霸权课题。然而,如果我们从社会伦理的角度来细读《亚当.比德》的文本,就不难发现乔治.爱略特恰恰奏出了霸权主旋律的反调,奏出了一组质疑速度、质疑“现金联结”、质疑社会伦理道德失范这一现实的音律。《亚当.比德》中的故事是要为以蒸汽机为标志的工业化社会提供一面可供参照的镜子,让生活于“现在”的人们看看人类丢失了什么。Critics tend toregard Adam Bede either as an elegy for pastoral life or as a hegemonic project serving the interests of the rising ruling class. A close reading of Adam Bede from social and ethical perspectives, however, reveals that George Eliot has struck none other than the antihegemony note, transfiguring the whole novel into a melody which queries the speed of social de- velopment, the ＂cash-nexus＂, and the reality characterized hy the disintegration of social and moral standards. The story of Adam Bede is no less than a mirror to the industrialized society symbolized by the steam-engine. Through this mirror the people living in ＂the present＂ can see what mankind has lost.
