乔叟是英国文学瑰宝，他这十句格言，体现英国民族精神，值得细品

英国文坛，除了莎士比亚，乔叟是第二个值得被公众推崇的作家及诗人。乔叟所带来的影响力是广泛的，是最具有“英国性”的作家之一，后被尊称为“英国诗歌之父”。今天，我们就一起来欣赏乔叟笔下十句格言，体会文字背后的深意。

在有生之年，乔叟并未引起太大注意，但死后他名声鹊起，他主要的诗篇是献给亨利国王的，因为这位国王激发了英国人民族情怀与爱国情怀，同时大力提倡发展英国文学。在这种大背景下，乔叟的诗文迅速占据一席之地是可预见性的。

据悉，乔叟深受法国文学的影响，后来他将法国文学的精髓融入于英国文学传统，所以在早期的作品里，文字中暗含着深刻的法国文学元素与特质。后来由于英国民族情绪高涨，乔叟也意识到英国文学要走上属于自己国家的道路，他开始培育自己的英国文学情节，将英语创作放在第一位，有意识的摆脱法国文学的影响。

另外，乔叟能够取得如此杰出的成就，与意大利文学有着密不可分的关系。由于得到王室的许可，他多次出使欧洲其他国家，在意大利，他目睹了早期文艺复兴的繁荣，为此他增加了英语创作的信心，同时通过新的视角和新的观点，促使他用英文创作文学作品，用英语反应英国社会现实，塑造现实中的人物形象。

虽然他捍卫英语创作，但他不是排外分子，他从各民族的文学形式中吸取养分，根据英语的特点，确立了英语诗歌的发展方向，这是其一生所做出的成就。值得一提的是，用英文创作诗歌的诗节形式，是乔叟创立的，或者说是由他打下的基础。

再有，“英雄对句”是乔叟的另一大贡献。这种形式让诗读起来更具有节奏感，平稳和谐，是后世最常用的诗体。在人物塑造方面，乔叟将人物的穿戴，皮肤、神态、举止描写得细致入微，这是在当时以法国文学为主导的英国文学没有的。另外，在乔叟的作品中，体现着现实主义传统，这一点又是乔叟开创的先河。

讽刺是乔叟文字最精彩的部分，他将贪婪、卑鄙、腐朽、虚伪、堕落表现得淋漓尽致，被誉为“英国文学批评主义”之父。不仅如此，乔叟在自己的作品中创作了新的文学体裁，即：戏剧性独白。该文学体裁在莎士比亚那里得到了进一步的发展。戏剧性独白致力于内心的探索以及性格上的探索，这是20世纪文学潮流和美学观，可以说这又是乔叟为文学界做出的一大贡献。

乔叟还有一个第一，即：第一个准确的理解悲剧主义，如此开拓性的尝试为后面英国悲剧的繁荣打下坚实的基础。还有，乔叟是第一位将市井故事引入英国文学的诗人，是英国文学现实主义叙事文学的开端。

当然，乔叟的贡献还远远不止于此，虽然他不如莎士比亚的名字响亮，但他对英国文学的发展，起到极为重要的作用。据记载，乔叟于1400年10月25日去世，享年57岁，今天是这位英国小说家，诗人621周年忌辰，我们就一起来欣赏他笔下十句格言，体会文字背后的魅力。

真诚才是人生最高美德。——杰弗雷·乔叟

勤于学习的人才能乐意施教。——杰弗雷·乔叟

有两样东西是必不可少的：良心和美名。——杰弗雷·乔叟

一个人到处分心，就一处也得不到美满的结果。——杰弗雷·乔叟
