童年是人生的起点,因此童年经验有着重要意义,尤其是对作家而言。因为他们不仅可以从童年经验中获得创作灵感,而且他们的性格和心理在很大程度上也会受童年经验的影响。对于美国作家海明威来说,童年经验在他的人生中同样扮演着重要角色,更是他的特殊生态观形成的重要推手。海明威的生态观比较矛盾,他一方面热爱自然,渴望回归自然;另一方面,当真正处于自然的怀抱中时,对自然却不能爱之惜之,而是经常血腥猎杀自然生物。这种矛盾的生态观与他童年时期进行的阅读体验和家人尤其是父亲对他的潜移默化的影响有着不可分割的联系。 Childhood is the beginning of life, so childhood experience is of great importance, especially for writers. Because they can not only get creative inspiration from their childhood experiences, but also their personality and psychology will be affected to a great extent by their childhood experiences. For American writer Hemingway, childhood experience also plays an important role in his life, which is also an important promoter of his special ecological concept. Hemingway’s ecological outlook is contradictory. On the one hand, Hemingway loves nature and longs for return to nature. On the other hand, he is naturally in a state of embrace where he can not cherish nature, but often hunts for natural life. This paradoxical view of ecology is inextricably linked to his reading experience in his childhood and to his family, especially his father’s subtle influence on him.
