《哦,船长,我的船长!》中信仰的传承
《长江丛刊》2019.0611《哦，船长，我的船长！》中信仰的传承■刘梦潇/商丘师范学院外语学院摘 要：诗歌是一种美的艺术，是诗人表达情感，传递价值的一种方式，而信仰则为人生指引方向。
本文以沃尔特·惠特曼的著名诗歌《哦，船长，我的船长！》与电影《死亡诗社》之间的信仰传承为例，浅析了《哦，船长，我的船长！》中潜藏于文字表意之下的信仰，并通过这首诗歌为后人引申出的信仰，解释诗歌与信仰之间的联系，以此来论证诗歌中信仰的传承性。
关键词：沃尔特·惠特曼 信仰 传承一、诗歌与信仰诗歌作为人类思想的一种文学载体，是人类心灵的一个镜面，我们可以从诗歌中窥见诗人眼中的世界，窥见诗人内心的理想和信仰。
而这种理想和信仰又从诗人的作品中传递给读者，读者从其中汲取养分，或为之斗志激昂，或受之启迪而又生出自己的信仰。
因此，诗歌中的信仰不仅仅作为诗人的生命之火，而是犹如奥林匹克圣火一般，世代传承，并且这种信念会随岁月的积淀而愈发坚定，愈发深刻，愈发悠长。
诗歌是一种神圣的艺术，它从诗人的信仰中汲取力量，从诗人内心深处的思想中喷涌而出，始终紧紧的与诗人的心灵相贯通，担负起代替诗人传递信仰的责任。
诗歌的价值不仅在于表现诗人的心境和信仰，更重要的是，读者从诗中获得了怎样的养分，汲取到了什么能量。
二、《哦，船长，我的船长！》中的信仰沃尔特·惠特曼是美国文坛中最伟大的诗人之一，有自由诗之父的美誉。
惠特曼的诗歌在刚出版时颇具争议，但时间给了这位伟大的诗人以品鉴，他的诗歌不仅鼓舞了无数同胞，也为世界所流传。
1860年11月，林肯当选为美国总统，南方几个州宣布脱离联邦政府而独立，1861年4月首先出兵叛乱，引发了内战。
这位以反对奴隶制而闻名的总统在任职不到半年，在广大人民的支持下，领导了联邦政府军，经过了四年的浴血奋战，终于击溃南方叛军维护了美国的统一并废除了黑人奴隶制。
就在美国人民欢庆胜利的时刻，反动势力雇佣的刺客杀害了他。

从语篇功能角度析《啊,船长!我的船长!》-最新文档
从语篇功能角度析《啊 , 船长! 我的船长 ! 》瓦尔特. 惠特曼 (Walt Whitman ，1819-1892) 是美国历史上伟 大的民主诗人和现代主义诗歌的先驱。
《啊，船长！我的船长！ 》O,Captain!My Captain! )(以下简称《船长》)是惠特曼在 林肯总统遭到刺杀后创作的一首著名的悼亡诗。
本文将运用系统 功能语言学的语篇功能理论对 《船长》进行语篇分析， 以揭示《船 长》在主位结构上的特点。
1. 语篇功能与语篇主位当代著名语言学家韩礼德 (M.A.K.Halliday) 继承和发展弗 斯 (John Firth) 的功能主义思想，提出了一个完整的理论体系。
再语言学领域他的理论影响较大， 人们一般视他为系统功能语言 学的创始人。
韩礼德的元功能包括概念功能( ideational function ) , 人际功 和语篇功能 (textual function) 。
语篇功能指如何使语言的组成部分互相关联， 即使一个语篇有自 己的内在结构， 使书面或口头的语言有别于词或句等词典或语法 书上的语法单位。
语篇功能能使语言与语境发生联系， 使说话人 只能生成与语境相一致的语篇。
语篇功能可以由主位结构， 信息结构和衔接体现。
从语义结 构上看，小句包含主位(theme)和述位(rheme)两部分。
主位系统功能语法中的一个重要思想是元功能metafunction )。
能 (interpersonal function)是话语交际的出发点，是小句发展的基础；述位是对主位的说明，是信息内容最重要的部分。
句子的第一个成分是主位，其余部分属于述位。
主位和述位一起组成一个信息结构( thematic structure )。
主位总是位于小句的句首，但句首位置不是定义主位的方法，而是实现主位功能的手段。
韩礼德根据主位本身的复杂程度，把主位分为“单项主位”simple theme ), “复项主位” (multiple theme) 和“句项主位” (clause theme)。
o captain my captain中的隐喻
o captain my captain中的隐喻如下：
想表达的意思是，他希望做学生思想的船长、引导少年们寻找自己人生的方向。
他让学生们从无意义（至少他们目前无法感知并认同其意义）的枯燥课程学习中抬起头来；批判性思考课本上用数学公式判定诗歌价值的理论是否正确；站上讲台体验用新的视角看世界；用独一无二的步态行走、敢于选择不同于他人的人生轨迹。
基廷老师或许能预想到，自己这种“务虚”的教学方法不会有诸如提升学校升学率等这种短期“务实”的收益，也许会被不理解的人叫停；他可能也会预想到，引导学生独立思考时可能伴随其迷茫、尝试甚至反叛，这是被学校和家长认为“危险”的（但最后出了自杀的事情应该是老师、包括影片中其他所有人都没法预料到的）。
自己指不定哪天就丢了饭碗。
船长终将离去，但在这一刻来临之前，他所作的努力都是值得的，（部分的）学生们（在一定程度上）获得了独立思考的能力，船长的使命也达到了。
如果考虑到上文提到的林肯的结局，基廷老师的引用就又多了一层意蕴，开头就为结尾埋下了伏笔，真是妙啊。

o capitain my capitain赏析
o capitain my capitain赏析
《O Captain! My Captain!》是一首由美国诗人沃尔特·惠特曼所作的悼诗，致敬亚伯拉罕·林肯总统。
这首诗由三个短的四行音节不规则韵律的节组成，每个节由同样的起始和结束行。
这种诗体结构造就了一种节奏感，这种感觉蕴含着惠特曼对他的领导者林肯总统的爱戴之情。
诗的第一句话：“O Captain! My Captain!” 是诗人在惋惜林肯总统离开的同时，也在表达对林肯总统的尽情敬仰与感激。
在诗的后面，惠特曼用到了一种比喻手法，将林肯总统比作一位船长，指引着美国这艘船穿过动荡的南北战争的汹涌海浪，并领航走上了胜利的彼岸。
此外，“O Captain! My Captain!” 可以被理解为一种对林肯总统不朽精神及其对美国民主制度的贡献的纪念；而诗的结尾，“Fallen cold and dead.” 也给读者带来了沉重的哀伤之感。
总之，这首诗向我们表达了一个心碎的瞬间：领袖在实现自己的宏伟目标之后，竟然被残酷的命运从我们身边带走。
这样的经验和感受，令我们更加珍惜那些一心一意为民众谋利益的卓越领袖，不断鼓励他们让更多的人共享美好和谐的生活。
Oh,Captain,My captain
Oh,Captain,My captain陈寅恪先生曾在内外交困的环境中这样标举：自由之思想，独立之人格;匈牙利诗人裴多菲曾经高声歌唱：生命诚可贵，爱情价更高。
若为自由故，二者皆可抛;美国诗人惠特曼也曾真情流露：啊，船长，我的船长。
许多日子以后，我再次听见这样的声音，是托德站在课桌上，面对即将离去的基廷老师，带领全班大声呼喊：Oh，Captain，My captain！我向来欣羡思想自由，人格独立。
但我也并不反对影片中威尔顿预科学院传统教育模式对于学生的严格管控与要求。
正如哲学家所说：存在即合理。
更何况，传统教育模式在时间的长河中一再延续，其中培养出不乏伟大而卓越的人物。
但正处于此种教育模式中的我们何以对基廷老师心向神往，对影片中我们真实生活的折射深恶痛绝，答案或许有一个：我们正在被接受的，远非我们的本心。
我总认为，呆板的束缚，在一切艺术的面前都是相形见绌的。
我并不是否认文学等艺术的规律性，而是不赞同我们以规律为手段去试图约束艺术，尤其是诗歌。
基廷老师的第一课，就让学生们撕去了利用坐标体系评去价诗歌水平的导言。
我很佩服基廷老师的勇气，也很欣赏基廷老师向学生教授诗歌的方式，他很努力的创设着一种诗意的情境，于不自觉中，学生与作者达到某种情感共鸣，诗歌的韵味和汹涌的情感便脱口而出。
正是这样一种灵动的教学方式，在威尔顿预科学院却需要极大的勇气。
我觉得这种勇气之于本身就毕业于预科学院的基廷老师，正如顾城《一代人》所写的那样：黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛，我却用它寻找光明。
尽管我们知道，这丝丝缕缕的光明何以点亮整个漆黑的夜空，但只为拥有光明的希望而去探求的脚步，这本身，就足以令人感动。
死亡诗社的成立，正是同学们受自由光芒的指引而向寂静、压抑的夜空发出的呼喊。
我敬佩社员向黑夜进发的热情，为自由集会的精神，向诗歌致敬的理想。
这让我想起王小波的杂文《沉默的大多数》，而这“大多数”如今仍然生活在我们的周围，他们在四面铜墙铁壁的屋子里小心翼翼，不敢高声语，唯恐自己成为被枪子击中的出头鸟或者先腐烂的出头椽子。
沃尔特.惠特曼的《船长哟!我的船长!》的语篇衔接分析
沃尔特.惠特曼的《船长哟！我的船长！》的语篇衔接分析摘要：衔接在语篇的建构中有着十分重要的作用。
本文以美国著名诗人沃尔特.惠特曼的《船长哟！我的船长！》（o captain！ my captain！）为语料，主要从语法衔接和词汇衔接两方面来分析衔接手段在英语语篇中的功能，同时尝试对语音方面作衔接分析，旨在探讨其内部结构，有助于读者理解该诗歌的内涵。
关键词：语篇衔接；《船长哟！我的船长！》；衔接手段；诗歌【中图分类号】 g648【文献标识码】 b 【文章编号】 1671-1297（2012）10-0116-02引言衔接是语篇分析领域中的一个基本概念，为衔接展开的研究层出不穷。
1962年，韩礼德提出了“衔接理论”。
韩礼德和哈桑合著的《英语的衔接》（cohesion in english）一书于1976年出版，标志着衔接理论的创立。
1985年，他们发表的《语言，语境和语篇》一书，进一步完善和发展了衔接理论。
国内对衔接的研究起步较晚，胡壮麟的《语篇的衔接与连贯》一书于1994年出版，对推动国内在这一领域的研究发挥了重要的作用。
根据韩礼德和哈桑的划分，衔接手段大致可分为语法衔接和词汇衔接。
前者包括照应（reference），省略（ellipsis），替代（substitution）和连接（conjunction），后者则包括词汇重述（reiteration），上义（ synonymy），下义（hyponymy）和搭配（collocation）等。

With the sound up and down, the poem reads easily to pronounce, like the sea surging waves, waves and ripples changing.
These three words include the sound of “O”. For one part, “O” is the sound expressed when people are mourning something. The use of this sound make readers feel the sorrow people feel for their captain. And for another, ”O” is a sound that is down. It implies the fact that captain is dead.

Introduction
Walt Whitman composed the poem "O Captain! My Captain!" after Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865. The poem is classified as an elegy or mourning poem, and was written to honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Walt Whitman was born in 1819 and died in 1892, and the American Civil War was the central event of his life.
Here captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck, You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
