对《喜福会》女儿们身份认同的文化解读

Culturally Interpreting the Identities of the Daughters in Joy Luck Club

小说《喜福会》塑造了四个在美国长大的华裔美国女人。她们挣扎在母亲传授的中国传统文化和成长环境熏陶的西方思维方式之间,建构了双重的、相互矛盾的种族和文化认同,成为美国主流社会边缘化的华裔美国人。随着年龄的增长,她们逐步找到了自己身上东方和西方两种文化元素的融合点,重新塑造了理想化的双文化身份认同。

The four American- born daughters in the novel Joy Luck Club struggle between traditional Chinese culture their mothers pass on to them and dominant White culture in which they grow up with and consequently,construct the self- contradictory ethnic and cultural identities. As they become more mature,these marginalized Chinese- Americans gradually find the way to integrate the Eastern and Western cultural element in themselves and reconstruct the ideal bicultural identity.
