亨利·詹姆斯是英语文学史上的杰出作家,其作品所反映的国际主题使之享誉世界,亦承载着他孜孜以求的人生理想——欧美文化的完美融合。通过对《美国人》中文化内涵的界定和对人性的深入探察,提出了文化融合符合人性这一论断。人性深处对于善与美有一种天然的渴求,而且对于善与美的感知是相通的,这种人性的共性便是推进文化完美融合的心理基础和原始动力。
Henry James is an outstanding writer in the history of English literature, his works reflect the international theme to make it world-renowned, but also carry his ideal of life pursued - the perfect fusion of European and American culture. Through the definition of the cultural connotation of “American” and its in-depth exploration of human nature, this paper puts forward the conclusion that cultural integration conforms to human nature. The deepness of human nature has a natural thirst for goodness and beauty, and it is common to the perception of goodness and beauty. The commonality of human nature is the psychological foundation and original motivation to promote the perfect fusion of cultures.
