摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在美国经典文学作品中，海伦·约翰逊的《夜色中的树》、弗洛斯特的《雪夜林边小立》、惠特曼的《草叶集》、霍桑的《红字》以及托妮·莫里森的《宠儿》等作品中所描写的“树”的意象都展现了人类对困境的反思和超越。我们在研读俄国文论家巴赫金(MikhailBakhtin)的“对话理论”后寻找到了在互文性视角下的文本间的多元对话性，在不同的作品里，“树”的意象在给人们带来无限幻想和精神希望的同时，也从哲学的视角诠释着最基本的人类学命题。

关键词: “树”, 美国文学, 互文性, 人类的困境

Abstract: In American classical literary works, the trees’ images, such as Trees at Night written by Helene Johnson, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening written by Robert Lee Frost, Leaves of Grass written by Whitman, The Scarlet Letter written by Hawthorne, Beloved written by Toni Morrison, have shown the rethinking and the transcending of predicament for human beings. After reading the “Dialogue Theory” written by a Russian literary theoretician, Mikhail Bakhtin, we have also sought the pluralistic concept of dialogue in different texts from the angle of intertextuality. The images of trees have given human beings infinite imagine and spiritual wishes in different works. And at the same time the writers of these texts are also elaborating the most essential anthropology proposition through the angle of philosophy.

Key words: “Trees”, American Literature, Intertextuality, Predicament of Human Beings
