论《老雷斯的故事》的生态思想及其在改编电影中的延续

On the Ecological Concepts in The Lorax and Their Continuation in the Adapted Film

美国著名儿童文学作家苏斯博士的图画书《老雷斯的故事》堪称儿童生态文学的典范。该作品批判人类中心主义观,展现各种严重的环境问题,呼吁人类重视树木、保护地球家园。改编自苏斯博士《老雷斯的故事》的同名电影守住了原著的生态之魂。二者在培育公众生态忧患意识、增强生态环保担当意识方面具有异曲同工之处。

The picture book The Lorax written by Dr.Seuss,a famous American writer of children's literature,may be rated as a model of children's ecological literature.This work criticizes anthropocentrism,exposes various serious environmental problems and calls on human beings to care for trees and protect the Earth,their only home.The film The Lorax,adapted from Dr.Seuss'The Lorax,holds the ecological soul of the original work.Both play the same role in cultivating the public awareness of ecological crisis and enhancing the awareness of ecological environmental protection.
