| 摘 要： 史诗《失乐园》的最后三卷是史诗不可分离的组成部分。史诗主人公亚当夏娃在前九卷里因屈服于撒旦的诱惑而堕落并失去伊甸园，但在最后三卷里获得以“谦卑”“忍耐”和“信仰”为核心的“内在精神”之“英雄知识”的装备，成长为弥尔顿始终倡导的“基督式英雄”，以怀着“心中远为快乐的乐园”，迎向孤寂艰难的未来。由此，史诗的最后三卷为堕落世界里那些已经堕落或可能堕落的人树立了“英雄精神追寻”的范式。 |

| Abstract: The last three books of Paradise Lost are inalienable components of the epic. Epic heroes Adam and Eve, having yielded to Satan’s temptations, fallen and lost Eden in the previous books, yet in the last three books equip themselves with “heroic knowledge, ” attain “the Spirit within” with humility, patience and faith as its core, and are thus regenerated into “the Christian Hero” advocated by John Milton. Hence, Adam and Eve, with “the far happier Paradise within,” head for their solitary and hard future. Besides, the last three books of the epic characterize a regenerated marriage pair of “the Christian Hero” type for people in the fallen world who have been fallen or who are to fall. |
