摘要

赛珍珠的《大地》曾获得诺贝尔文学奖和普利策奖。从生态女性主义的视角出发，剖析《大地》中主要女性角色阿兰的形象，阿兰是一个勤劳勇敢但备受压迫同时又具有独立意识的女性形象。在生态女性主义中，女性形象和大地的形象具有一致性，女性形象通过她们和大地的关系来展现，因此阿兰的女性形象反映在阿兰与大地亲密又特殊的关系中，两者的关系体现在三个方面。一是阿兰和大地都具有价值，阿兰的价值体现在她的四个形象中：沉默顺从的女仆，无私奉献的家庭主妇，孕育能力强的母亲和明智的决策者；而大地的价值体现在它决定着阿兰一家人的生存环境。二是阿兰和大地都处于边缘化的地位，她们被视为私有财产可随意买卖，没有话语权，备受歧视。三是阿兰和大地都对压迫做出了反抗，阿兰对封建制度和父权制的抵抗以及大地对人类的反抗，产生了一定的结果和影响。《大地》中的女性形象和大地的关系反映了赛珍珠的生态女性思想，也说明了人类必须尊重女性与自然。
