摘要
约翰.斯坦贝克的名著《愤怒的葡萄》发表于上个世纪30年代,被称为“改变美国的20本书之一”。然而,自它问世以来,人们对它的评价就一直莫衷一是。如今,当人们用生态文学批评的理论来解读它时,就会发现,作者严厉地谴责了西方几千年来占据统治地位的“人类中心主义”思想,深刻揭示了20世纪30年代美国大平原生态灾难的社会、政治和经济根源,表明人类的命运与自然命运息息相关,不可分割,表达了对人类美好社会的憧憬。因此,可以肯定地说,这是一部充满了生态思想和文明批判的重要的生态文学作品。
The famous novel The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck was published in the 30s of the 20th century. It is a very important novel, considered to be ＂one of the 20 books that have changed the USA＂. Since its publication, however, there have been divergent comments on the book. But if people read it in the light of eco-criticism, they find that the author severely criticized the long- standing ideas of anthropocentrism of the Western world, disclosed the political, social and economical roots of the eco-disaster in the United States in the 30s, and expressed the idea that human destiny is closely associated with that of nature. Therefore, the work can also be regarded as a great work of eco-literature.
