摘要
《白鲸》是19世纪美国小说家麦尔维尔的代表作,它描述了捕鲸船“裴廓德号”在船长亚哈的带领下追捕白鲸莫比迪克的故事。从生态批判的角度而言,这部小说实际上是一篇生态寓言,它表达了作者对人类破坏自然和谐、对其它生物进行滥捕滥杀的行为的忧虑。同时作者预言,如果人类仍然如此倒行逆施,不对大自然保持应有的尊重,将可能面临极其惨痛的结局。
Moby Dick is a masterpiece by Melville and narrates the struggle between the sailors onboard Pequod, a whaling ship led by Ahab the captain, and Moby Dick, a seemingly unconquerable white whale. As far as eco-criticism is concerned, it is rather an ecological allegory, expressing the author＇s concern over the mass killing Of animals and the serious human damage to Nature. Melville also predicted that without a reasonable respect to the environment, the human beings would be likely to suffer a disastrous result.
