Abstract William Blake is an English poet in the 18th century, and he is one of the pioneers in the period of English Romanticism. His poems are considered mysterious and too allusive to follow, but critics are still very interested in his works and they often draw various implications out of them. However, few people have touched his collection of poetry——Pickering Manuscript, of which the longest poem——“Auguries of Innocence”, seems not to draw attention from people, if any, not enough, partly because the poem is not well connected in terms of its title and content.The author of the thesis realizes that the thought of innocence might pervade in Blake’s poem “Auguries of Innocence”. The thesis deals with Blake’s implication of innocence by the theory that man is born innocent in Pelagianism. It elaborates Blake’s thought of innocence in five chapters: the first is the introduction of William Blake and literature review; the second is the discussion of the religious symbolisms used in the poem to show Blake’s basic thought of innocence; the third and the fourth are the respective analyses of paradoxes and aphorisms of man and nature, man and man, and man’s inner heart in this poem to explain Blake’s thought of innocence reflected in human society; the fifth is the conclusion of the thesis. Through the analyses, the thesis aims at delivering Blake’s mythic and imaginative literary work from a new perspective, which is the opposite of the traditional view towards Blake’s thought of Christianity, so that people could read Blake from a new angle so as to get better understanding of his literary works, especially his poems full of illustrations of mythology; meanwhile, it will enlighten people in the contemporary society to pursue their personality and individuality.

摘要
威廉•布莱克是18世纪的一位英国诗人，也是英国浪漫主义文学的先驱之一。有人认为威廉•布莱克的诗歌充满神秘感又晦涩难懂，但评论家们仍然对分析他的作品乐此不疲。对其作品中的涵义，常常仁者见仁，智者见智。然而，很少有人涉足他的诗集——《皮克林手稿》，该诗集中最长的一首诗歌《天真的预示》似乎没有引起人们过多的关注，偶有评论,也是凤毛麟角，原因之一是该诗的题目与内容的联系让人困惑。
本论文作者意识到布莱克诗歌《天真的预示》中可能蕴含的无罪思想。论文结合佩拉纠主义关于人生而无罪的理论来分析布莱克的无罪思想，并分为五个章节加以阐述：第一章为布莱克简介及文献综述；第二章讨论诗歌中运用的宗教象征从而阐释布莱克无罪思想的基本内容；第三章与第四章分别就诗歌中所运用的悖论及隽语，从人与自然，人与人，人与自我这三种关系，来分析布莱克在对人类社会的思考中所体现出来的无罪思想；第五章为论文结论。通过这些分析，论文从一种新的视角来解读布莱克神秘而富于想象力的文学作品，这与传统观念上对布莱克的基督教思想的认识形成鲜明对比，从而使读者们能够从一个崭新的角度对布莱克的作品，尤其是那些充满了神秘意象的诗歌有更好的理解，同时也鼓励现代人勇于追求个性与自我。
