生态批评视角下的“边境三部曲”解读

An Ecocritical Interpretation of "The Border Trilogy"

科马克·麦卡锡在美国文坛被誉为"当代最伟大的美国作家之一",他的西部小说"边境三部曲"致力于描写美墨边境地区发生的英雄史诗。在机械化、工业化浪潮的冲击下,西部牛仔的生活轨迹发生了剧变,深刻的生态危机通过人与自然、动物、科技的关系层层揭示出来,展现了作者对于生态问题的深刻关注及力图唤醒人类重建人与自然、人与社会、人与自身和谐共存的生态意识。

Cormac Mc Carthy is considered to be one of America＇s greatest living writers; his western novel ＂The Border Trilogy＂ fully represented the heroic epic in the US-Mexico border regions. The cowboys went through a transformation under the impact of mechanization and industrialization, and serious ecological crises are brought to light accordingly. Mc Carthy thus revealed his ecological concerns by awakening people＇s environmental awareness： people should endeavor to build a harmonious and coexisting relationship between man and nature, man and man, and man and himself.
