对《美尔根,我的兄弟》的生态批评阐释

An Ecocritical Interpretation of Maheegun, My Brother

《美尔根,我的兄弟》是美国作家埃里克·阿克兰的一篇短篇故事,被选入《现代大学英语——精读Ⅱ》中。该故事透出深刻的生态主义内涵,它以一匹狼和一个男孩之间的故事作为主线,赞扬了人与自然和谐共生的生态关系。同时,埃里克·阿克兰通过塑造代表生态中心主义的"爷爷"和代表人类中心主义的叶斯诺太太之间对待自然的差异,衬托出印第安文化中的生态主义精髓,从而唤起人们的生态传承意识。

Myheegun, My Brother is one of Eric Acland's short stories, which appears in Comtemporary College English: Intensive Reading Ⅱ. This story presents deep ecological connotation, which eulogizes the ecological relationship between man and nature.Meanwhile, by telling a story of a boy and a wolf, Eric Acland reveals the ecological spirit of Native American culture through build-ing the character 'grandfather' who stands for ecocentrism and 'Mrs. Yesno' who stands for anthropocentrism. Ultimately, EricAcland appeals for people's awareness of ecological heritage.
