摘　　要：阿连壁1891年译本以叙事诗形式对《诗经》的抒情诗特质进行创造性转换,将19世纪《诗经》英译的叙事化倾向发展到极致。在主题上,阿连壁抽空了《诗经》所蕴含的礼乐文化精髓,为他想象的“淳朴的时代”注入西方浪漫主义自由思想,营构出一个浪漫夸张的中国上古社会。同时,该译本在西方疑古思想和浪漫主义文学观念的推动下打破了两千多年的传统诗经学解释框架,带来了《诗经》由"经学”向"文学"的根本性转变,对于诗经学发展具有重要的开拓意义。In his 1891 English translation of the Shih Ching, a collection of ancient Chinese poems also known as the Book of Songs, Clement Francis Romilly Allen brings a long 19th-century tendency to narrativize English renditions of classical Chinese verses to its culmination by creatively turning the lyric pieces of the collection into narrative poems. And where the source texts are informed with the quintessence of ancient Chinese culture of rites and music, Alien's target texts displace it with western romantic and liberal sensibilities. The displacement allows him to promote his own cherished ideal of a "simple time” by projecting it onto the Chinese society in ancient times. Under the influence of the Western philosophical thoughts prevalent in the age of romanticism, when there was a growing skepticism about the supremacy of the classical models, Alien's renditions also break free from the constraints of the traditional interpretative framework for reading the Shih Ching. His transgressive reading had played a significant role in effecting a transition in the Shih Ching studies from its classification as a Confucian Canon to its identification as primarily a Chinese literary classic.
