摘要
美国著名黑人女作家爱丽丝·沃克,在《日常用品》中成功地塑造了代表传统文化的母亲和代表现代风格的女儿的形象,围绕如何理解和继承祖传的被子展开情节,反映了由种族问题引起的家庭矛盾。小说借母女冲突表达了一个十分重要的主题:继承民族文化传统的意义在于深刻地认识理解其文化内涵,而不是浮于表面、流于形式。
In Everyday Use, Alice Walker, a famous African American writer, successfully describes the conflicts between the traditional mother and the modern daughter. The plot evolves around how to understand and inherit such cultural heritage as quilts, by means of which, Walker reveals a very important theme: the best way to inherit one's cultural heritage is to understand, memorize or even put it into everyday use rather than simply own it and use it as ornament.
