摘要
佐拉·尼尔·赫斯顿是在美国最早研究恶作剧精灵意象的学者之一,因此对《他们眼望上苍》一书中恶作剧精灵意象的发现和解读成为理解其创作艺术的重要法宝。身为人类学家,对黑人民俗进行过专业研究的赫斯顿在此书中正是通过恶作剧精灵意象——骡子的描写与运用,完成了这一涉及种族与性别的影射与回应。表意的恶作剧精灵本身所具有的双声性揭示出黑人妇女在美国社会生活中长期遭受种族、性别双重压迫的现实。
Zora Neale Hurston is one of the earliest scholars pioneering in the studies of the tricksters in the United States. Therefore, the discovery and the interpretation of the trickster image in Their Eyes were Watching God may provide an important clue to a full appreciation of her artistic creation. As an anthropologist well acquainted with black folklore, Hurston makes an allusion and response to the racial and gender issue by depicting the mule in the novel as a trickster. The double-voicedness of the signifying trickster reveals the double oppression （both racial and sexual） upon the black American females in social life.
