关于《拼凑的裁缝》,西方学术界在过去的几十年里把研究重心放在卡莱尔对语言隐喻性的关注上。然而,该书的意义难道真的像米勒等人所说的那样,仅仅是为了说明有限的语言在表述无限的真理时的无能为力吗?如果不是,它还有什么其他意义?或许是更重要的意义?这些意义跟它的语言模式之间又有什么关系?换言之,《拼凑的裁缝》问世的最大原因是什么?它的中心思想究竟是什么?卡莱尔为何采用了迂回曲折的语言模式来传递这一中心思想?对这些问题的回答,构成了本文的主要内容。
With regard to “patchwork of tailors,” western academics have for decades focused their research on Carlyle’s metaphorical attention to language. But, as Miller et al. Put it, is not the meaning of the book really merely a demonstration of the powerlessness of a limited language in expressing infinite truth? If not, what else does it mean? Perhaps more important What is the relationship between these meanings and its linguistic model? In other words, what is the biggest reason why “patchwork tailor” came out? What is its central idea? Why did Carlisle use a twists and turns language model to convey This central idea? The answers to these questions form the main content of this article.
