摘要《德伯家的苔丝》是英国知名小说家托马斯·哈代的所有作品中具有代表性的，讲述了一个贫家女儿，外出谋生，失足泥沼，遗恨千古的故事，作品不论在内容上还是艺术上都独具特色，具有强大魅力。哈代作品的语言风格和写作手法中含有浓郁的乡村风情和奇妙的象征意味，人物形象在长篇生动细腻的环境描写中被侧面塑造的鲜活丰满，常常是景中有情，寓情于景。因此，本文将从小说中对自然环境的描写入手，通过分析环境中的动物、植物、自然景象以及主人公原型形象，探寻隐含在其中的象征意味。关键词：托马斯·哈代；象征意义；自然环境描写；意象论文类型：理论研究-I-AbstractTessofthed'UrbervillesisthemostinfluentialrepresentativeworkofthefamousBritishnovelistThomasHardy.Ittellsthestoryofapoordaughterwhogoesouttomakealiving,fallsintothemireandgratesontheeternal.Theworkisuniqueinbothcontentandartandhasstrongcharm.ThelanguagestyleandwritingtechniqueofHardy'sworkscontainrichcountrystyleandwonderfulsymbolism.Thecharactersareshapedbythesideinthelongvividanddelicatedescriptionoftheenvironment.Often,thereisemotioninthescene,andtheemotioniscontainedinthescene.Therefore,thispaperwillstartfromthedescriptionofthenaturalenvironmentinthenovel,andexplorethesymbolismhiddeninitbyanalyzingtheanimals,plants,naturalscenesandthearchetypalimagesoftheprotagonistsintheenvironment.KeyWords：ThomasHardy;Symbolism;Naturalenvironment;image-II-目录摘要.....................................................................................................................................IAbstract......................................................................................................................................II目录...................................................................................................................................III引言.....................................................................................................................................1一、环境描写的定义与作用.....................................................................................................1（一）环境描写的定义......................................................................................................1（二）环境描写的作用....................................................................................................21、渲染故事气氛.........................................................................................................22、烘托人物形象3、推动情节发展二、《德伯家的苔丝》中的环境描写.....................................................................................2（一）植物.........................................................................................................................21、玫瑰.........................................................................................................................22、白花.........................................................................................................................3（二）动物........................................................................................................................31、鸟...........................................................................................................................32、牛...........................................................................................................................4三、象征意味....................................................
