本文在借鉴西方学界近些年研究成果的基础上,以《乌托邦》的文本为中心,探讨语言-修辞与读者-阐释的问题。莫尔写作时选用的语言是他的基本修辞工具,实际反映了他的写作目的,以及对待不同读者与接受群体的态度。《乌托邦》中复杂设计的修辞和开放式结局,为读者打开了广阔的阐释空间。文本内部的争论和逆序性构思,以及外部众多差异的版本,则将读者对《乌托邦》的阐释变为一个不可终结的难题。 Based on the research achievements of the western academia in recent years, this paper focuses on the text “Utopia” and probes into the problems of language - rhetoric and reader - interpretation. The language used in Mor’s writing is his basic rhetorical device, which actually reflects his purpose in writing as well as the attitude toward different readers and receiving groups. The complicated rhetoric and open ending in “Utopia” opens up a broad space for readers to interpret. Debate and reverse conception of the text within the text, as well as many different external versions, the reader’s interpretation of “utopia” into an unfinished puzzle.
