PAGE  PAGE  幽默和爱伦·坡的《捧为名流》 Humor and Allan Poe’s Lionizing Abstract: This paper will show readers Poe’s another aspect of writing, humor, through analysis of Poe’s humorous words. Currently, most literary experts just divide Poe’s short stories into four types: tales of fantasy, tales of horror, tales of death and tales of detection. While Julian Symons, expert on Poe, separated tales of humor from other types of Poe’s short stories. Following Julian Symons’ view, I will simply introduce humor and Poe’s short story Lionizing from the viewpoint of humor. During my analysis of Lionizing, I am also planning to introduce influence on Poe to adopt humor and the effect that Poe achieved with the device of humor. Besides, through studying Poe’s humor and Lionizing, I just have a try to analyze the narrative techniques in his short stories. What’s more, this paper would relieve readers of the viewpoint that Allan Poe’s works were always lack of humor. Key words: Allan Poe; humor; Lionizing 摘要：本文通过对爱伦·坡的幽默文字的分析给读者展示其另一种写作风格——幽默法。如今，大多数的文学研究专家仅仅把他的短篇小说分为四类：科幻小说、恐怖小说、死亡小说和侦探小说。然而，爱伦·坡研究专家朱利安·西蒙斯从他的小说中分出了幽默小说这一类。借鉴朱利安·西蒙斯的观点，笔者将简单介绍一下幽默，并从幽默的角度分析爱伦·坡的《捧为名流》这篇小说，同时也将介绍一下哪些因素影响着他采用了幽默手法以及他的幽默所达到的高度。通过学习、研究爱伦·坡的幽默和《捧为名流》，笔者给读者展示爱伦·坡的短篇小说的叙事技巧。另外，本论文将试图使读者改变对爱伦·坡的作品缺乏幽默的认识。 关键字：爱伦·坡；幽默；《捧为名流》 Contents I.
