从非裔美国文学批评家盖茨的喻指理论出发,分析托尼·莫里森的小说《最蓝的眼睛》中的西方文化意象的喻指。通过对西方文化传统中替罪羊、人性化的自然、启蒙读物等意象的重复或修订,揭示了非裔美国人在多元文化语境下的生存状态以及民族文化的缺失。 Based on the metaphorical theory of African American literary critic Gates, this paper analyzes the metaphor of western cultural images in Toni Morrison ’s Blue Eyes. Through the repetition or revision of scapegoats, humane nature, enlightenment books and other images in Western cultural traditions, the African Americans’ survival status in multicultural context and the lack of national culture are revealed.
