评萨拉·朱厄特的《白苍鹭》

Initiation and Nature-on Sarah Jewett’s A White Hero

美国19世纪一位重要女作家萨拉·奥恩·朱厄特最为著名的短篇小说《白苍鹭》是一部典型的成长小说。它讲述了小主人公西尔维亚从幼稚走向成熟的心路历程，同时，在这艰难的历程中，“大自然”扮演着非常重要的角色，与小主人公的成长密不可分。

Novel of initiation is one of the prevailing literary genres in American literature. As a typical representative of this genre, Sarah Ome Jewett＇s A White Hero describes the little heroine Sylvia＇s journey from innocence to maturity; meanwhile, ＂nature＂ is always playing a very important role in this hard journey, and is closely related to Sylvia＇s growth.
