文章延续外国人笔下的中国形象这一话题,旨在以比较文学形象学理论为指导研究当代美国白人女性作家妮科尔·莫娜笔下的中国形象之“关系”。“关系”既指中国人的家庭本位观又指中国的走后门现象。通过对莫娜笔下“关系”的探讨,发现这一形象不仅仅反映了一定的中国现实,更是莫娜言说自我、表达身份认同的工具,对中国人认识自我、发现社会问题和实现中美双方更好交流有现实意义。 The article extends the topic of foreigners’ Chinese image and aims to study the “relationship” of Chinese image by the contemporary American white female writer Nicole Mona under the guidance of comparative literature image theory. “Relationship ” refers not only to the Chinese family-based concept but also to China’s back door phenomenon. Through the discussion of Mona ’s “relationship”, I find that this image not only reflects certain Chinese reality, but also Mona’ s self - expression and identity recognition tool, understanding Chinese and finding social problems and realizing It is of practical significance for both China and the United States to have a better exchange.
