论赛珍珠父母的传教事业对其中西文化观的影响

Influences of Pearl S.Buck' s Parents' Mission on Her Cultural Perception

赛珍珠的父母在她三个月时漂洋过海来中国传教。然而,他们的海外传教事业终因异质文化的对抗和碰撞而未能成功。赛珍珠从他们事业和生活的双重不幸中认识到了异质文化进行平等对话和交流的重要性和必要性。她继承了父亲对事业的热诚投入和艰苦开拓的精神,并从母亲身上学会了坚强面对困境和苦难的勇气和决心,抛弃了狭隘的宗教信仰,形成了自己的中西文化观,成了一座沟通东西方文明的人桥。

When Pearl S. Buck was only three months old, she was brought to China by her missionary parents. However, their mission was not successful due to the confrontations and conflicts between the two cultures. Thus Pearl S. Buck found it important and necessary to start the equal talks and communications between them. She in- herited the spirits of tireless commitment from her father, and improved her courage and determination with her mother as a model. Eventually, she gave up the narrow religious belief and developed her own cultural perceptions of the East and West, acting as a bridge across the two cultures.
