从中国文化传播角度看赛珍珠的《大地》

An Analysis of Pearl Buck's The Good Earth in the Perspective of Diffusion of Chinese Culture

美国作家赛珍珠的《大地》,作家以流散作家美国视角,用母语文化来审视中国文化,界定了她独特的叙事者角度。该书勾勒出的中国形象,说明当善意的西方观察者用眼睛过滤所见所闻后,捕捉到的多是与自己母体文化形成反差的成分。通过分析作品去发现哪些中国元素先进入西方人的视野,从而看出中国文化是怎样一步步被西方世界所了解的,进而反映出中国文化向西方世界传播过程中的一些特点。

American writer Pearl S.Buck＇s TheGoodEarth,with the writer＇s diaspora perspective and her native language and culture to examine Chinese culture,pins down her unique perspective of the narrator.The images of China depicted in the novel show that when facts are filtered through the eyes of a benevolent western observer,the cultural components that form clear contrast to the observer＇s home culture are likely to register.By analyzing the novel,it is to be found what Chinese elements are first captured by Westerners＇ eyes,which shows how Chinese culture is understood step by step in the Western world,thus reflecting the features in the process of diffusion of Chinese culture in the Western world.
