摘　　要：《梅利比的故事》作为《坎特伯雷故事集》中与诗人乔叟同名的虚构人物亲自讲述的故事,采用了托寓这一文体。本文主要关注《梅利比》中与托寓相关的三个研究问题:第一,《梅利比》中道德托寓解释的闭环与开放性如何得以并存;第二,乔叟如何利用格言警句暗含对理查二世及其朝臣的评判,借助略显严肃生硬的道德托寓,生成颇具反讽效果的政治托寓;第三,结合《梅利比》中的托寓,探讨乔叟的作者意识,即乔叟作为文学创作者,对文学文本应如何生成意义、控制阐释、创造话语空间的反思。基于上述分析,本文着重考察《梅利比》如何利用看似解释体系僵化、封闭的托寓文体,生发出创作与阅读的自由。As one of the two tales told by the fictional Chaucer the pilgrim in The Canterbury Tales,"The Tale of Melibee"is writen as an allegorical narrative featuring main characters as personified virtues and vices.The assignment of this genre to the tale told by the narrator of the poet's own name deserves more critical attention.This article examines allegorical interpretation and personifications in"The Tale of Melibee".Its purpose is threefold:first,it aims to detect anti-allegorical elements embedded within the tale to subvert the totalizing interpretative system;second,it categorizes the tale as a combination of moral allegory and political allegory to address the critical controversy whether"The Tale of Melibee"is a satire against Richard II and his courtiers;third,based on the previous two points,it reassesses Chaucer the poet's idea of authorship and his ways of creating the discursive space of ideological freedom for literature.
