【摘要】：简·斯迈利是美国当代颇有影响力的一位女作家,以描写美国普通人的生活见长。其代表作《一千英亩》(1991)通过讲述当代美国农业社区里人与人之间因为土地引发的种种尖锐矛盾的故事,体现了斯迈利对人地关系的深刻思考。依据阿尔多·利奥波德的土地伦理思想,本文以小说《一千英亩》的叙事线索为中心,探索女主人公吉妮对自我与土地关系的逐步认识,以期唤醒人们重建人地和谐相处之道的意识。除引言和结论,本论文分为三章。第一章从三个方面详细阐释《一千英亩》中土地与女性在整个生态系统中内在关联。大地与女性的身体都承担着孕育生命的责任；恣意流淌的水给予女性思想的启迪；动植物与女性的情感紧紧相依。第二章分析小说中土地与女性在生态系统中类似的悲惨遭遇。土地在农场主们的残酷压榨下遭到严重破坏。看似肥沃松软的土地实质上已贫瘠不堪,以往清澈的水源成了肮脏的垃圾场,缤纷多样的动植物因没有“价值”也惨遭屠戮。同样,在男性统治下生存的女性对男性唯命是从,即使被强暴,也要保持缄默。命运的相似使得女性清晰地认识到她们是土地这个共同体的一部分第三章深入探讨土地与女性的反抗。默默承受的土地也不再保持缄默,它以自己的方式对人们做出惩罚,那些曾经不可一世的男性农场主们最终为自己的行为付出惨痛的代价；经历了一系列磨难的女性逐渐认识到自身与土地的生存状态,为自身和土地立言,强烈控诉男性对土地和女性的破坏。基于以上分析,本论文指出小说对女性与土地相似命运的诉说,隐含着女主人公吉妮的自我觉醒,以及潜藏其中的土地伦理意识。《一千英亩》中的人类,特别是女性的悲惨遭遇和土地的严峻状况进一步警示人们：如果不增强生态意识,不给予土地伦理上的关怀,那么人类最终将祸及自身。
[Abstract]:Jane Smiley is an influential contemporary American woman writer who describes the lives of ordinary Americans. His masterpiece, "one thousand acres" (1991), reflects Smiley's deep thinking on the relationship between man and land by telling the story of the sharp contradictions between people in contemporary American agricultural communities because of the land. According to Aldo Leopold's land ethics, this paper focuses on the narrative clues of the novel "one thousand acres", and explores the heroine Ginny's gradual understanding of the relationship between herself and land. In order to awaken people to re-establish the road of harmonious coexistence consciousness. In addition to the introduction and conclusions, this paper is divided into three chapters. Chapter one explains the relationship between land and women in the whole ecosystem in three aspects. Both the earth and the female body bear the responsibility of giving birth to life; the wanton flow of water enlightens women's thoughts; and plants and animals are closely related to women's emotions. Chapter two analyzes the tragic experiences of land and women in the ecosystem. The land was badly damaged by the cruel oppression of farmers. The seemingly fertile and soft land is essentially barren, with its clean water serving as a filthy garbage dump, and its diverse flora and fauna slaughtered for lack of "value". Similarly, women living under male rule are subservient to men and, if raped, remain silent. The similarity of destiny makes women realize clearly that they are part of the community of land. Chapter three explores the resistance between land and women. The land of silence is no longer silent, it penalizes people in its own way, and the once-mighty male farmers end up paying a terrible price for their actions; Women who have experienced a series of tribulations have come to realize their own and the living state of the land, speak for themselves and the land, and strongly accuse men of destroying the land and women. Based on the above analysis, this paper points out that the narration of the similar destiny of women and land implies the self-awakening of the heroine Ginny and the human beings in < 1000 acres >. Especially the tragic experience of women and the severe situation of land further warn people: if we do not strengthen the ecological consciousness, do not give the land ethical care, then the human will eventually disaster itself.
