現定居南非的林怡翠曾是備受期待的新一代女詩人，其詩量少而質精，溫婉中見堅毅，且詩中經常可見月亮的蹤跡，卻甚少人對此進行研究。本文嘗試從林怡翠詩中的情感寄託及社會關懷兩方面進行分析，探究其詩中月意象的形塑、象徵意涵及與古典詩詞的差異。最後綜合林怡翠詩中的月意象特色，探討與原型間的關聯及原型批評的適用性。月作為古今文學常見的意象，林怡翠的詩在固有的象徵意義上，承襲部分傳統，加入現代意識並發展出個人風格，詩中的月以各式面貌出沒，展現出詩獨特而多元的價值。

Lin Yi-tsui, who has settled down in South Africa, was once a much anticipated poetess of the new generation. Her poems are few in number but high-quality, gentle but indomitable, and with many traces of the moon, but only few people researched on it. This paper aims to analyze 'moon' imagery of Lin Yi-Tsui's poetry from spiritual commitment and social care, the content includes image shaping, symbolic meanings, and differences between Lin Yi-Tsui's poetry and classical poetry. At last, this paper integrates characteristics of 'moon' imagery of Lin Yi-Tsui's poetry, probes the relevance to archetype and the applicability of archetypal criticism. 'Moon' as a common poetic imagery, Lin Yi-Tsui's poems follow some parts of patterns, but add modern consciousness, and develop her own individual style. The moon in Lin Yi-Tsui's poetry appears with a wide variety of faces, and shows unique and diversified values of poems.
