英语词汇enoch arden的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Enoch Arden. Enoch Arden, Philip Ray, and Annie Lee grow up together in a little seaport town. Though both boys love An- nie, Enoch wins her hand and they live together happily until Enoch sails aboard the merchantman Good Fortune to make his fortune. Shipwrecked for 10 years on a deserted island, En- och is finally rescued. Annie, meanwhile has been reduced to poverty and Philip asks her to marry him, certain that Enoch is dead. Enoch is brokenhearted when he returns after the 10 years and witnesses, unknown to them, Annie and Philip’s hap- piness, but he vows never to let them know of his return until after his death, sacrificing his happiness for theirs. Such is the plot of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s long poem “Enoch Arden,” which he based on the true story of a sailor thought drowned at sea who returned home after several years to find that his wife had remarried. A similar case was reported after the Arctic went down in 1854; a New Orleans merchant named Fleury was believed drowned and his young widow remarried. The “widow” had three children by her new marriage and lived happily until a letter arrived from Fleury six years later. A whaler just setting out on a long voyage had rescued him and when the whaler was also wrecked, Fleury was rescued by still another whaler starting out on a long voyage, thus accounting for the many years he had spent at sea. An Enoch Arden has come to mean that rare creature who truly loves someone bet- ter than himself.
