摘　　要：弥尔顿的《愉悦者》和《冥思者》是他在青年时期的诗歌杰作。这两首诗中的叙述者分别代表了"欢乐"和"忧郁"这两种截然不同的生活方式,他俩之间的互相攻击和辩驳使人联想到中世纪英国文学中的辩论诗传统。《猫头鹰与夜莺》这首中世纪辩论诗无论在内容或诗歌的叙述风格上都跟弥尔顿的上述姊妹诗比较相似。对于它们之间相似性的分析表明,中世纪的辩论诗传统对于17世纪英国诗人弥尔顿的创作仍具有很大的影响。Milton’sL’Allegro andIl Penseroso are remarkable poems written in his youth. The speakers in these two poems respectively represent the two different life styles of “Mirth” and “Melancholy.” Their attacks at each other and their debates remind us of the tradition of medieval debate poetry.The Owl and the Nightingale, in particular, resembles Milton’s sister poems in both their contents and their narrative styles. The present essay is a comparative study of Milton’s sister poems andThe Owl and the Nightingale. The analysis of their resemblances shows that in the seventeenth century, the tradition of medieval debate poetry still exerts great influence on John Milton’s poetic creation.
