音乐与文学从表面上看是两种截然不同的文艺类型,音乐通过音响的组合达到表现的目的,而文学则通过语言的手段达到表现的目的。但是,语言与音响在表现形态上又有某种一致性,它们都是通过声音展示出来的。尽管音乐的声音与文学的声音有如此的不同,人们还是试图把音乐当作一种语言的艺术来看待。 On the surface, music and literature are two distinct literary genres. Music achieves the purpose of performance through the combination of sound, while literature achieves the purpose of expression through the means of language. However, language and sound have some consistency in their performance patterns, and they are all displayed by sound. Although the sounds of music are so different from those of literature, people are still trying to treat music as the art of a language.
