摘　　要：作为苏格兰人的沃尔特·司各特对殖民时期的英国的态度十分隐晦。本文从《艾凡赫》的食物书写切入,揭示其隐藏的殖民话语。将食物符号化打破,并重置了原有的社会关系,在任意化中实现了食物的商品化,这掩盖了吞食和征用被征服者自然资源的本质。司各特批判了部分诺曼贵族的贪食,即暴力占有撒克逊资源的行为,反映出他对赤裸裸的殖民征服的批判。然而另一方面,他又肯定了狮心王理查共享食物的行为,暗示其对温和的、共享的殖民征服方式的默许,尤其是在一个具有美德的君王领导下。殖民时期的英国的被征服者和殖民时期的英国利益的受益者的双重身份和立场使得司各特对殖民扩张的批判仅限于殖民的方式,而非殖民本身。As a Scot,Sir Walter Scott s attitude towards the British Empire was very obscure.This article attempts to reveal Ivanhoe s hidden colonial discourse through its representation of food.The symbolization of food breaks and restructures the original social relationships,achieving the commercialization of food through arbitrariness,which conceals the essence of swallowing and expropriating the natural resources of the conquered.Scott criticizes the greed of some Norman nobles,who have violently occupied Saxon resources,reflecting his criticism of the naked colonial conquest.However,he also affirms Richard the Lionheart s food sharing behavior,implying his acquiescence to a gentle,shared colonial conquest,especially under the leadership of a virtuous king.The dual identities and positions of the conquered within the empire and the beneficiaries of the empire s interests have limited Scott s criticism of colonial expansion to colonial methods rather than colonization itself.
