《汀克溪的朝圣者》押美国当代生态散文的典范

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek: The Apotheosis of American Contemporary Ecological Prose

《汀克溪的朝圣者》是美国当代生态散文的典范,它蕴涵的生态思想主要有:回归自然,重新与大自然和谐相处;批判人类中心主义,崇尚生态整体观;质疑工业文明,主张物质生活简单化,提倡生态保护。这些生态思想谈不上创新,却以有所创新的文学形式表达出来,反映了美国当代生态散文家在大自然中的新体验和大胆思索。

Being the apotheosis of American contemporary ecological prose, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek mainly embodies the following ecological ideas: appealing to man's return to nature and the reconstruction of harmony between nature and man; upholding ecological holism while criticizing anthropocentrism; and advocating a simple material life and man's responsibility for the preservation of ecological environment while questioning industrial civilization. These ideas are all but original, but are expressed in somewhat creative literary skills, which reflects the new experiences and courageous thinking of contemporary ecological prose writers.
