摘　　要：弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的作品与人生表现出对食物与吃既拒斥又欣赏的矛盾心理,切合厌食和暴食的症状,是她所谓"精神病"的组成部分。本文通过分析《一间自己的屋》和《黛洛维夫人》中对吃的描写,并结合伍尔夫丈夫的视角,揭示吃对伍尔夫具有的包含着极其复杂矛盾的象征意义与文化内涵:一方面基督教文化有轻肉体重精神的倾向,男权社会中男性视角对女性常作错误判断,体制化的医疗对"精神病人"实施压制,但另一方面,吃能维系生命,为思想提供动力,给生活增添美感,是伍尔夫追求的高雅生活不可或缺的重要元素。"疯狂"作为这富有张力的精神生活的一个体现也成为伍尔夫文学创作的动力,是既折磨她也成就她的一种独特力量。Virginia Woolf＇ s life and writing demonstrate a conflicting attitude toward food and eating, which is at the same time bulimic and anorexic, a significant yet ignored aspect of her ＂madness＂. The present article analyzes passages about eating in A Room of One＇s Own and Mrs Dalloway and reveals how eating as a complex cultural phenomenon contains, on the one hand, negative messages such as the Christian preference for the mind to the body and patriarchal prejudice against women, and on the other, edifying functions as eating maintains life, provides for mental activities, creates a sense of beauty, and thus is an indispensable part of Woolf＇ s ideal life. ＂Madness＂, therefore, as an intense mental existence, motivates her literary creation and both makes and kills her.
