从伊丽莎白一世的婚姻看现代爱情观

摘  要

从古至今，爱情都是一个永恒的主题。人们对于它的研究，也从来没有间断过。对于爱情的定义，每个人都有不同的理解。有人认为爱情是一种心灵的寄托，但也有人认为它不过就是“面包”，是金钱，权力的附属品。不管人们对它有着怎样的理解，完美的爱情总是让人感动。许多至今流芳百世的爱情故事则为爱情下了一个比较明确的定义：爱情就是两个人为了对方可以牺牲一切.不过这只是完美意义上的爱情，在现实生活中又有多少人能做到呢？看过一些关于英国历史上有名的女王伊丽莎白一世的爱情故事后，这种观点更加得到证实。她为了避免别人分享她的王冠，拒绝与所爱的人结婚，并把自己的婚姻作为外交政策的诱饵，因此孤独一生。在现实生活中，爱情正慢慢地贬值，正慢慢地成为一种人们获取名利、物质和性欲等一些东西的手段。爱情固然是伟大的，但是在一些实际的东西：金钱、名利等面前就逊色多了。在这个竞争激烈的年代，爱情只是满足自己私欲的手段。

Abstract

In all ages, love is an eternal subject. The research on it has never ended. As for the definition of love, everyone has his understanding. Someone thinks it is a hope on internal spirit, while others think it is bread, an accessory of money or power. Whatever their comprehensions are, perfect love is always moving. Many classical love stories make a clear definition of love: love is a sacrifice for each other. However, it is just endowed with a perfect sense, how many people could achieve that? After reading the love story about Elizabeth Ⅰ, this view is strengthened. Elizabeth Ⅰ refused to marry her lover because of power, and used the marriage as a chip of diplomatic policy, therefore, she is destined to be single for a whole life. In modern society, love is depreciating. It is becoming a tool to get fame, material desire and sexual desire. Although love is great, it is also in the shade in front of some material things. In this dog-eat-dog age, love is just a tool to get selfish desire.
