摘　　要：在伦敦转型为帝国大都市的历史时刻,加图作为戏剧主角登上舞台遭遇欢呼与批评的争议并不令人惊讶。通过对加图与恺撒谈判场景的设置以及人物的对位性书写,艾迪生《加图》意在调和帝国扩张与共和自由的矛盾,化解国内党派的冲突与分歧,藉自由文明的宣扬与对商业对象的教化来自然化贸易扩张的目标,以掩饰暴力与征服,展开有别于武力征服的新型帝国治理规则想象。During the historical moment when London was transforming into an imperial city,it is not surprising that Cato,as a dramatic protagonist,attracted both acclaim and criticism.By setting the negotiation scene between Cato and Caesar,and by means of the contrapuntal writing of the character,Addison's Cato aims to reconcile the contradiction between imperial expansion and republican liberty,and resolve internal party conflicts and divisions promoting the ideals of a free civilization and the education of commercial subjects to naturalize the goal of commercial expansion and obscuring violence and conquest,in order to open up the imagination of a new kind of imperial governance different from conquest by force.
