【摘要】 新一代华裔美国作家武绮诗的小说《无声告白》,呈现了一系列二元对立的冲突与矛盾:亚裔与白人、女性与事业、父母期待与子女压力、子女的得宠与失宠等,表现出族裔与异质文化的显性特性。然而,细读文本可以发现,在上述表征的背后,作者通过沟通缺失导致悲剧的设置,突出了隐性的沟通主题。小说中的族裔差异和异质文化,只是承托作者价值观的一个载体,而现代人共通的沟通主题才是触动不同读者心灵的精神所在。这种超越族裔本质论的主题转型,反映了新一代华裔美国文学的新特征。更多还原

【Abstract】 The America-born Chinese American writer Celeste Ng narrates in her first novel Everything I Never Told You the conflicts and tension between Chinese ethics and native people,woman and career,parents’ expectations and children’s pressure,and favored child and neglected siblings,thus exhibiting an explicit representation of ethnicity and heterogeneous culture. Nevertheless,a close reading of the text finds an implicit motif of communication,highlighted by the author’s deployment of absence of communication that leads to the tragedy. The ethnicity and heterogeneous culture in the novel is more of a carrier of the author’s values,while the common issue of communication for modern people should be the spirit that touches the readers in different cultural context. This diversion towards common values beyond ethnicity reflects the feature of the new generation Chinese American literature.更多还原
