《掃煙囪的孩子》是什麽背景的詩歌?

'掃煙囪的孩子'這首詩歌寫的是18世紀末19世英國童工盛行的黑暗時代背景。四五歲的男孩子因為身材很小,便被他們的父母當勞動力賣去掃煙囪。而這些小到可以塞進煙囪的孩子作為童工的現象也被當時英國社會普遍接受。 Blake用"掃煙囪的孩子"這首詩歌, 批判了教會主張的通過今生的勞苦換取來世幸福的觀點,認為這種主張只會導致人們對剝削的縱容,強調了這種天真無知的觀點對社會濫用童工的危險性,指出教會宣揚今生受苦以獲來生天堂的教義的危害性,點明教會才是孩子們"痛苦天堂"的締造者。詩中用向孩子發問者的語氣問"妳的父母在哪兒"來說明孩子的無助,揭示了這些腐朽教義對社會的不良影響。(才發現是挖墳的 再晃個壹年多就步入十年了啊)

The poem "The Chimney Sweeper" is set against the dark background of child labour that was prominent in England in the late 18th and 19th century. At the age of four and five, boys were sold to clean chimneys, due to their small size. These children were oppressed and had a diminutive existence that was socially accepted at the time.

In 'The Chimney Sweeper' of Innocence, Blake can be interpreted to criticise the view of the Church that through work and hardship, reward in the next life would be attained; this results in an acceptance of exploitation observed in the closing lines 'if all do their duty they need not fear harm.' Interestingly, Blake uses this poem to highlight the dangers of an innocent, naive view, demonstrating how this allows the societal abuse of child labour.
