《圣经》中的女性形象分析_英语论文

An Analysis of Women Images in the Bible

摘要

《圣经》不仅是诸教的宗教经典，同时也是一部伟大的文学经典。是一部包罗万象的百科全书,里面有身份、地位和命运迥然不同的女性。这些真实而模糊的历史人物，透过作者对其时代风俗和个人性格特征的准确把握与细腻表达，栩栩如生地呈现在读者面前。让人不仅能设身处地于当时的环境，跟他们一同欢笑哭泣：更不无惊讶地发现，她们生命中的忧愁、喜乐、困惑和盼望，并没有随着岁月而消逝，仍与今天的我们息息相关。阅读圣经有助于帮助现代读者对《圣经》中四位女性形象的分析，一个是信心经得起挑战的撒勒法的寡妇,另一个是因好奇心导致罪恶的底拿,以及没有被伤心击倒的亚拿和众生之母夏娃.同时对于这几位女性的分析也有助于当代女性对自身重要性和价值的进一步认识。除此之外，这四位女性人物对当代人无论是道德上还是品性上有一定的警示作用，也希望广大读者能从中学到很多。

Abstract

Bible is not only a religious classic for religions but also a great literary output. It is an all-encompassing encyclopedia, in which there are many different women in identity, social status and fate. In the Bible, these real and vague women are presented in sight lively through detail and description and exquisite techniques by writer so that readers can laugh with the women just like being in their situation. And it’s surprised to find that the sadness, happiness, confusion and wish of those women don’t disappear with time goes by, and these things are still closely related to us today. Reading Bible is good for readers’ analysis of four women in Bible. And one of them is a widow of Zarephath “a woman whose confidence could stand up to challenge”; and another one is Dinah: “a girl who comes to sin and grief as a result of the curiosity”; besides, there are also Anna: “a woman who is not beaten by the sadness.” and Eve: “the mother of all livings.” Meanwhile, the analysis of those women can help contemporary women know and realize the importance of their own and their value. What’s more, the four women can warn people nowadays something in morality and moral character. I hope that people can learn much from it.
