Abstract: Sons and lovers is one of Lawrence’s masterpieces which describes love entanglements between Paul and three women in the modern industrial civilization. These love entanglements leave great effects on the leading character in this novel--Paul. We can learn this from two aspects: Paul’s mental love and physical depression; and the mental release he chooses at the end of the novel. This gives expression to the unity of the spirit and the flesh that Lawrence goes after in the depth of his heart because it is the only way out of the modern civilization.

Key words: Sons and Lovers; mental and physical depression; mental release

摘要：《儿子与情人》是劳伦斯的著作之一，描写了在现代文明社会中，保罗与三个女人之间的情爱纠葛。这些感情纠葛给主人公保罗造成了重大的影响。这主要体现在两个方面：保罗的精神之恋与肉欲的压抑，以及他在小说最后选择的灵魂的解脱，这也是劳伦斯一直在内心深处所追求的精神与肉体的统一，因为这才是现代文明的唯一出路。
