英文版---喜福会影评

1、Analysis of the causes of the conflict between mother and daughter from the Cultural Perspective In the Joy Luck Club电影喜福会向我们讲述了中国母亲与美国女儿人之间沟通障碍以及她们在东方信仰与西方价值观及传统文化与现代文明之间的争执。母亲与女儿的交流障碍不仅仅反映出两代人之间的隔阂，更反映出一种文化差异。母亲代表的逐渐消失的传统文化，女儿代表的则是日益壮大的新型文化；母亲们坚守着特殊的国家文化，她们想要传授一些中国文化给女儿们，但却以女儿们没有满足她们的期望而失落不已。然而，女儿

2、们在妈妈们的期望与美国的现实中打转，最终接受了主流文化，并且嘲笑和丢弃了以她们妈妈为代表的非主流文化，在这一系列冲突的过程中，她们不断地寻求自我和社会地位，并且努力去继承她们的文化价值。母亲们努力去调解她们“中国式的过去”和“美国当代”，而女儿们也试着寻找着自主与忠于文化遗产之间的平衡点。The moviethe Joy Luck Clubtells uscommunicationobstaclesbetweenChinese mother and American daughter andtheirbeliefineasternand Western valuesandthe dispute

7、看作一个个体，其次才是集体中的一员。对于她们来说，追求个人自由的权益是合法的，不能被任何人剥夺。在中国文化里，一个人不是属于自己而是属于家庭和社会，孝道最为重视。她们的父母是权威的，孩子必须在各方面服从他们。但是在美国的文化里面，孩子是应该独立的，并且孤立挑战权威和传统。美国出生的女儿们在个人主义原则下接受教育 ，因此容易与她们深受中华文化影响的母亲发生冲突。Individualism andcollectivism is theimportant measureof cultural change,providing a powerfulinterpretiveframework for c

12、持对个人很重要，无论是父母还是孩子，可以把文化称作“我们的”的文化而不是“我的”文化。在喜福会里，母亲从中国传统的，从侧重集体主义社会移民到注重个人主义的社会，他们的角色转变了，以前代表权威，现在移民到这个全新的社会，她们变得对自己不确定起来。女儿不再和以前一样，她们不能和在中国一样用同样的方式-权威来教育她们的女儿。InChinesefamily,closerelativesare mutually dependent.

15、习的是如何表达他们自己的愿望时做出选择，他们独立并敢为自己的行为负责。尊重不仅仅被看作是一种非常积极的状态，也应该被当作全人类渴求和满意的要求，但是在中国，隐私这个词代表的是很消极的意义，暗含着孤独与脱离集体.InUSA,what people learn isto choosehow to expressthe aspirations of their own,they are responsible for their ownbehavior independent and bravely . Respects not only are regarded asa very positive

16、state,should also betreated ashuman desireandsatisfied requirements. But inChina,the word “privacy”is representative of thevery negativemeaning, which implies theloneliness andunsocial.比如说，一个人如果不能有足够的自控能力，就会简单的谋求他或她自己的利益而忽视甚至伤害其他人的利益。所以太注重个人利益时，也会危及社会和谐的关系，在以集体主义为导向的文化里，为了获得必要的支持，和谐相处被高度重视。每个人当被认为是在

17、家庭中或社会里占有一席之地，就是这个位置暗示了这个人应该如何对待别人来与人和谐相处，所以每个人都关注自己的位置与角色，一边相应行动。在某种程度上，中国认为别人着想来获得和谐的人际关系是一种可贵渴求的品质。为了避免冲突，人们将自己的意愿从属于别人来表现尊重和爱，尤其在中国传统文化里，妻子服从丈夫，个人意愿很好的服从家里男性首脑的意志。中国人埋下身价为了共同利益，帮助组织里或者其他成员是非常必要的。中国人习惯遇到困难时依靠集体的力量来解决，换句话说，集体主义以僵硬的框架为特征，与群内合作与群外合作不同，人们指望他们的群内关系来照顾他们，作为交换，他们相信他们对群体有着绝对的忠诚。For examp

22、ey believe theyhave absoluteloyalty to thegroup.结尾：从母女冲突中我们分析出导致母女冲突的主要原因是文化的专制。母女来自不同的文化，有着不同的价值观。母亲来自家长统治的社会，有着占统治地位文化。女儿重视个人主义，自由，平等和独立。两种文化的价值观是完全不同的，但是 ，如果她们承认这些不同，并且接受彼此的文化，而不是把自己的想法强加在彼此身上，那就不会有那么多的冲突了。不幸的是，每一方都把自己的文化当成是中心，母亲想要控制孩子，展现父母的权威，要求孩子服从自己，去做被要求的是；而女儿要求独立，自由，希望与妈妈平等。母女对待彼此的文化态度，导致严重的

23、冲突，这些冲突折磨她们，到最后谁都无法再容忍了。打破沉默，开始需要和对方进行沟通了。很长时间的斗争之后，她们知道斗争的目的是要求更接近对方。当她们感受到这一点，文化中心开始解体，和谐的关系建立了。从冲突的原因，文化专制和母女间的专制的解体到和谐关系的建立我们得出一个结论：任何有文化专制的人都会在不同文化的沟通中引起冲突；所说的文化专制不存在，那只是人们的虚构和想象，多种文化可以共存，只有来自不同文化的人们理解尊重其他人的文化，好好交流，那才会有和谐的关系。From the conflictbetween mother and daughter, weanalyze the maincauses
