| 摘 要： 在弥尔顿看来，“诱惑”可能引致堕落，却又是锤炼基督式英雄必要的历练。弥尔顿首先在其神学著作《基督教教义》里明确地诠释了这一悖论性的“诱惑观”，又在诗歌三部曲中予以艺术的呈现。《失乐园》里撒旦的诱惑开始了人类的苦难历史，但亚当夏娃“幸运的堕落”又开启了人类对“内在精神”的英雄追寻旅程。《复乐园》里的耶稣再现了亚当受诱惑的过程，却通过坚决抵御撒旦的诱惑而复得亚当失去的乐园，为人类提供抵御诱惑的原型。《斗士参孙》里大利拉的诱惑是参孙堕落的直接原因，却最终成为是参孙再生的催生剂和原动力。从堕落中再生的参孙最深刻地诠释了弥尔顿“诱惑观”的悖论性。 |

On the Paradox of John Milton’s Theology on Temptations |

| Abstract: According to Milton’s theology, temptations may lead to fall, yet constitute the critical trials in tempering Christian heroes. This parodox of his is first elaborated in his De Doctrina Christiana, and then artistically interpreted in his poetical trilogy. Satan’s temptations in Paradise Lost trigger the history of human sufferings, yet Adam and Eve’s Fortunate Fall animates the human heroic quest for “the Spirit within.” Jesus in Paradise Regained, by recapitulating Adam’s being tempted, yet by resisting this time, thus regaining the lost paradise, functions as the prototype of Christian heroes. Dalila in Samson Agonistes, apart from being the direct cause of Samson’s Fall, serves as Samson’s Mirror Image and the impetus of Samson’s Regeneration. Samson from the fallen to the regenerated may best exemplify Milton’s paradoxical theology on temptations. |
