摘要
“替罪羊”一词的原意源于古人一种重要的驱除灾祸的赎罪方式,这已被人类历史学家考察的大量实例所证明。这种赎罪方式虽历经演变但仍然在今天世界各民族的社会习俗中留有印痕,深藏在人们的内心,形成了一种难以言明的心理意识。经过历史积淀,它早已成为了文学原型,成为拉文学描写的一个重要内容,成为了文学创作中探索人与命运故事的渊源。在众多“替罪羊”的文学描写中,奥狄浦斯的故事尤为典型,他命运的故事实际上就是“替罪羊”文学原型的具体描写。
The word ＂Scapegoat＂ originates from the ancient meaning of expiating one＇ s guilt in order to drive away disasters, which has been firmly proved with lots of evidence by historians. Though having undergone various evolution, that kind of expiation is still reflected in different social customs of all nations all over the word. It filters into people＇ s mind, and has formed a sort of indescribable psychological awareness. Over centuries, the word has long before denoted a literary character that has been a notable part in the literary texts depiction and the origin to grope after the talcs about the relations between human beings and their fate in literary works. Among those literary texts depicting Scapegoats, Oedipus, whose tale is virtually a specific description of the literary figure of ＂A Scapegoat＂, typifies the character.
