《十日谈》与 《坎特伯雷故事集》 一、两部作品简介 1、薄迦丘与《十日谈》（Decameron，1348-1353） 方平、王科一序《幸福在人间！》（意）桑克提斯把《十日谈》与《神曲》（Divine Comedy）相提并论，称之为宣传“幸福在人间”的“人曲”（Human Comedy）。 故事集是欧洲第一部现实主义文学作品，欧洲近代短篇小说的奠基之作。 2. 乔叟（1340——1400）与《坎特伯雷故事集》 收有24个故事，读法：总引＋开场白＋故事（例如，巴斯妇,The Wife of Bath；武士侍从；女尼；磨坊主；厨师；法役等），创立了双韵体诗。 Compare Boccaccio ’s decameron and Chaucer ’s Canterbury tales to find the difference between them比较一下卜伽丘的《十日谈》和乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事集》的不同。 The Background Though Chaucer and Boccaccio shared some (about thirty two) years in their lifetime，England and Italy did not share the same historical period． In Chaucer’s time，England was in her late Medieval [mid?iv?l] Age（中世纪时代），while Italy was already in her Renaissance [r?ne?s?ns ] period (文艺复兴时期) in Boccaccio’s time . Chaucer deals mainly with three estates in The Canterbury Tales：knight (the nobility)，the working-man (the third estate) and the eeelesiastie (the church)．The economic situations of different people are revealed by the description of the characters，clothing and social backgrounds． At Boccaccio’s time，the emerging bourgeois in Italy are getting more and more prosperous in terms of wealth .So the wisdom of businessmen is highly praised，corruption of ecclesiastic people is severely criticized and asceticism of the Christianity is completely rejected in The Decameron． The Contents The “Prologue” of the Tales and the “Preface” together with the “Introduction” of the Decameron both serve as the opening part in the two works separately． Boccaccio does not offer much information in his short “Preface” to The Decameron． On the contrary，Chaucer describes both a lot and in detail the background of the pilgrimage，the cause of the idea of storytelling activity while riding towards the destination． the contents of the tales in the Canterbury and the stories of the Decameron themselves． The twenty-four tales in The Canterbury Tales cover most social aspects of late Medieval England including politics，eco
