摘　　要：根据汉语"经典"一词对应的不同英译"classic"和"canon",我们将"文学经典"划分为两种,即文学经典Ⅰ和文学经典Ⅱ。文学经典Ⅰ起源于古典学研究,必然是古典作品,强调普遍人性与文学经典的唯美性和永恒性。文学经典Ⅱ有着浓厚的宗教渊源,将文学经典政治化,彰显文学经典的建构性及其背后的权力斗争。文学经典Ⅰ在数目上具有更大的包容性和柔韧力,文学经典Ⅱ是一个集合概念,是排他的。文学经典Ⅰ是"超验所指"式的,在现代文明的形成中扮演了基础性的角色;文学经典Ⅱ是互文性的,在多元文化时代不断更迭与重组。文学经典Ⅰ和文学经典Ⅱ作为理论上的区分,代表着不同的经典观,在文学实践中二者有着千丝万缕的联系。According to English translation of the Chinese word ＂Jingdian＂ corresponding to the different ＂classic＂ and ＂canon＂, ＂literary classic＂ can be divided into two kinds, namely, classic literature ＇s and canon literature Ⅱ. Classic literature ＇s originated in classical studies and must be classical works to stress the universal human aesthetic and the timeless nature. Literary canon＇s Ⅱ has strong religious roots to politicize literary classics, and to highlight the construction of classic literature and its behind of a power struggle. Classic ＇s has a more inclusive and flexible force on the number of literary classics while canon l＇s is an exclusive concept of collection. Literary classic Ⅰis a type of ＂transcendent meaning＂ to play a fundamental role in the formation of modern civilization while literary canon Ⅱ is inter - textual with constant changes and restructuring in the multi - cultural era. Theoretically, Classic literature 1 and literary canonⅡ represent different classic concepts but they are inextricably linked in literature practice.
