摘要：

The idea of "death by water" is suggested by the study of the Ecocriticism which brings a new angle to interpret The Waste Land. Central to the poem is the feeling of dissatisfaction signified by the barren land where all life dies for lack of water. In The Waste Land, water is not only desired by men, but also a symbol of death. Eliot sensed the human alienation caused by the distorted human-nature relationship, presenting to readers an absurd and threatening barren land of human beings. In this poem, Eliot expressed his concern for the living status of human. beings.
