摘　　要：美籍华裔女诗人陈美玲的诗歌《野蛮人来了》模仿希腊诗人卡瓦菲斯的《等待野蛮人》,与之形成明显的重复和互文。《野蛮人来了》不仅延续了从卡瓦菲斯开始的等待野蛮人的漫漫过程并且终于等来了野蛮人,而且在不断重复“野蛮人来了”的过程中强化了卡瓦菲斯重复“野蛮人要来”所传达的含义:“野蛮人”矛盾地传递出一种颠覆力,质疑、动摇,甚至推翻了文明-野蛮的二元对立模式,建立起二者之间相互转化的动态关系,使人类重新思考自我话语构建的政治基础。Chinese American woman poet Marilyn Chin’s poem“The Barbarians Are Coming”imitates Greek poet Cavafy’s poem“Waiting for the Barbarians”,which reflects an obvious repetition and intertextuality between the two.“The Barbarians Are Coming”not only defers the waiting starting from Cavafy,but also extends and reinforces the rebellious force generated from the repeated use of“barbarians”.This force has the potential to interrogate,violate and even subvert the binary opposition between civilization and barbarism,and to set up transferable,dynamic relations,through which human beings rethink the political basis of their discourse construction.
