玛格丽特·阿特伍德2009年的新作《洪疫之年》描写了未来某个时候人类所面临的灭顶之灾:一场无水的洪疫。本文从《洪疫之年》中的环境问题出发,指出人类对自然生物的暴力行为是人类中心主义思想的结果,而生态环境危机又与当时的社会问题密切相关;从而进一步强调,创建人与自然和谐共存的生态社会,是摆脱生态危机和社会危机的必由之路。 Margaret Attwood’s 2009 novel, The Year of the Flood, describes the dying catastrophe sometime in the future: a dry flood. Based on the environmental problems in the “Flooding Years”, this paper points out that human beings’ violent acts toward natural living organisms are the result of anthropocentrism, and the crisis of ecological environment is closely related to the social problems at that time. Thus, The ecological society where natural and harmonious coexistence is the only way to get rid of ecological crisis and social crisis.
