【摘要】 约瑟夫·鲁德亚德·吉卜林是第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的英国作家(1907年)。凭借引人入胜的短篇故事和小说,吉卜林大受欢迎,尤其是他的《丛林之书》。该书包括两部分：《丛林之书》和《丛林之书续集》,分别出版于1894年和1895年,主要讲述了莫格利的系列故事,一个在丛林中成长的狼孩,如何学习丛林法则,动物们的语言和狩猎。这是本深受青少年喜爱的寓言故事,承袭了欧洲中世纪的文学传统,本论文从各个角度将该书与《列那狐的故事》等经典动物寓言作分析比较,借助拟人化的动物语言和行为揭示深刻的寓意,具有一点的教育意义。丛林法则是丛林故事的核心,它表达了作者的生活哲学和理想的世界秩序。本论文旨在通过世俗说教的角度来解读这些故事。受19世纪末20世纪初英国历史、政治形势的影响,吉卜林的《丛林之书》是带有帝国主义和殖民主义色彩的,并由此长期受到抨击。但笔者认为,吉卜林宣扬世界应该在规律的控制下运转,并且是充满个人责任感和道德观念的。智慧、勇敢、自律和团结友爱的精神是“丛林法则”的核心内容。吉卜林的这些思想灌输借助丛林动物们的“生活百态”来展现,但这当然是比喻,其最后的落脚点是希望青少年读者能具有“丛林法则”所提倡的精神品质,这对于当下的社会是具有借鉴和教育意义的。《丛林之书》中显现的伦理道德价值带给我们的教育教学更多的启示,她伴随着儿童的成长,以独特的魅力深深的感染了孩子,影响着他们的思想和言行；她犹如百科全书,可以作为教学的媒介,不但能增进孩子的语言学习,激发孩子的创意思考,又能拓展文化视野和陶冶情操。儿童文学为孩子们灵性的舒展搭设了立体多维的舞台,带领孩子们走进艺术的殿堂,她传递了潜在的“说教”内容,让孩子在无形之中被感动,受到了品格的熏陶,在一个个专门为孩子们设计的世界里让他们感受到了友爱、信任、宽容、勇气、责任、快乐等多元的道德价值,也让我们感悟到了令人感动的真诚与谦逊。更多还原

【Abstract】 Joseph Rudyard Kipling is the first English writer who won the Nobel Prize for literature in1907. He gains widespread popularity on account of his appealing short stories and novels, especially The Jungle Books, written in two volumes: The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book, which were published in1894and1895respectively. These two books mainly tell the stories of Mowgli, a boy grown up in a wolf family and learned about the Law of the Jungle, animal language and hunting. They belong to a literary genre known as beast fable, which can be traced back to the Middle Ages. A beast fable is a succinct fictional story of anthropomorphized animals, illustrating a moral lesson.’The Law of the Jungle’is at the core in those stories, expressing Kipling’s philosophy of life and his ideal order of the world. The aim of this thesis is to analyze these stories from the perspective of secular education. Influenced by the historical background and political ideas in England at the turn of the twentieth century, the theme of ’The Law of the Jungle’in The Jungle Books is closely connected with imperialism and colonialism. Nevertheless, there is another meaning in the book that is often overlooked by the critics, for Kipling suggests that the world should be governed by certain rules, or by a sense of duty and ethical values. He does tend to moralize the imperialist theory of Pax Britannica, yet the Law he advocates also has some significance for the understanding of human society, especially the moral and ethical values in the education of children. The Jungle Books have gained widespread popularity among the adolescent readers, due to their moral lessons on affection, wisdom, bravery, self-discipline, esprit de corps and faith, all of these are incorporated in the Law of the Jungle. Kipling aims to establish his ideal social order and ideal man, to inspire a whole generation, and to strengthen the social structure of Victorian England. In education, teachers must develop creative methods of teaching acceptable moral values so that students have some basis of reference for the moral decisions that they will make in life. Therefore, I have employed four useful classroom activities as ways of imparting moral values to students. However, how to develop the moral education in English class has been a great challenge for teachers. In this thesis I attempt to design a case study to make students experience pleasure and comprehend the moral values in a way of edutainment. The Jungle Books has an enlightening message for modern education and encourages us to pay more attention to the moral values in children’s literature. Children’s literature uses a pure and vivid language to convey the nature of beauty and touch both our intellect and our emotions. Almost all of them have moral or didactic purposes to express a sheer joy of living and the wonder of the world around us. They also provide opportunities for classroom discussion to improve teaching efficiency and develop children’s positive character traits.更多还原
