Abstract:The Great War left an indelible mark of horror and brutality on the Western imagination, not least on how we have come to understand the toll wars take on their survivors. This article gauges some of that effect through an examination of the work of two noted veterans: Wilfred Owen and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Through a discussion of Owen's poetry in tandem with Wittgenstein's earlier philosophy, I address the toll violence exacts on language; namely, on the attempt not to describe but to show war.

欧文、维特根斯坦和战后语言之战

摘要：大战在西方人的想象中留下了不可磨灭的恐怖和残暴的印记，尤其是我们如何理解收费战对幸存者的影响。本文通过对两位著名退伍军人威尔弗雷德·欧文 (Wilfred Owen) 和路德维希·维特根斯坦 (Ludwig Wittgenstein) 的工作的考察来衡量这种影响。通过对欧文诗歌与维特根斯坦早期哲学的讨论，我解决了语言上的收费暴力问题；即，试图不去描述而是展示战争。
