Abstract

Abstract: In this paper I argue that Catullus 11 anticipates the shift from the first section of the collection (1–14), mainly revolving around the poet’s passive love for Lesbia, to the second section (14b–26), mostly focused on his active love for Juventius. My reading has three interpretive advantages: first, it confirms the authorial arrangement of the first two segments of Catullus’ collection; second, it defends the thematic unity of poem 11 by providing a coherent analysis of the connections between stanzas 1–4 and 5–6; third, it explains the different tone used by Catullus to address Furius and Aurelius in different poems.

卡图卢斯中性别角色的流动性：诗篇 11 的新诠释

摘要：在本文中，我认为卡图卢斯第 11 首诗预示了诗集第一部分（1-14）的转变，主要围绕诗人对莱斯比娅的被动爱情，而第二部分（14b-26）则主要集中于他对尤文提乌斯的主动爱情。我的解读有三个解释上的优势：第一，它确认了卡图卢斯诗集前两个部分的作者安排；第二，它通过对第 1-4 节和第 5-6 节之间的联系进行连贯的分析，捍卫了第 11 首诗的主题统一性；第三，它解释了卡图卢斯在不同的诗中对富里乌斯和奥勒留使用的不同语气。
