“美国梦”是美国神话的集中体现,吸引和凝聚着许多美国人以及想要成为美国人的人。美国华裔作家任璧莲的成名作《典型的美国佬》讲述了一个华人版的“美国梦”。作品虽以华人移民为主人公,但它是一个美国故事,是一个引起美国人反思自身、思考美国文化的故事。 The American Dream is a concentrated expression of American mythology, which attracts and condenses many Americans and those who want to become American. Renowned Chinese American writer Ren Lin as “a typical American” tells a Chinese version of “American Dream.” Although her work is mainly directed at Chinese immigrants, it is a story of the United States and a story that causes Americans to reflect on themselves and reflect on American culture.
