摘要
马克.吐温是很早就被介绍到中国的著名美国作家之一,其作品广为我国读者熟悉。通过分析他作品中涉及华人形象的文章和相关资料,我们可以看出华人是追梦人,希冀实现理想;他们是镜子,照射出美国和美国人的黑暗面给美国敲响了警钟;他们又是替罪羊,承载着巨大压力和痛苦。这反映了吐温的复杂思想,一方面对华人的同情,另一方面又摆脱不了他们“他者”的身份。
Mark Twain is one of the American writers who had been introduced to China very early, and his works are quite familiar to Chinese readers. With the analysis of his writings and relative material which involve the Chinese, it can be seen that Chinese is the dream-seeker who hopes to realize the ambitions, the mirror who reflects the dark side of America and American society, and the scapegoat who shoulders enormous pressure and misery. All of these indicate the complicate ideas of Twain: on one hand he shows sympathy to Chinese, and on the other hand he embodies them as "the other".
