11、文化之处，本课题通过对喜福会中不同人物呈现出的生活方式，文化背景的探讨，使大家深刻的了解中西方文化之间存在的差异及文化根源，有助于增进中西方之间的互相理解与沟通，同时通过本课题的研究，能够更加深入的了解中西方文化差异的原因。二、研究意义：喜福会取材于谭恩美自己的家族经历，在文中，四位母亲分别叙述自己在旧中国的遭遇以及在移民后对以美国为代表的西方文化的迷惘；四位女儿则各自讲述了自己处于东西方两种文化夹缝中的感受，与母亲的分歧以及在事业家庭中所遭受的挫折等。母亲们努力地为出生在美国的女儿们灌输着中国文化，而接受了西方文化熏陶的女儿们却表现出对母亲的不理解。母女两代人从误解、冲突到沟通和理解，不仅折
12、射着东西方文化互相碰撞、沟通和交融的历史，也预示着在全球化时期，不同的国家、民族和文化相互共存应采取的态度-理解、沟通与信任。作品既表现了两代人、两种文化、两个民族的对立,又反映了大洋彼岸华人后代的美好企盼:跨越不同民族、文化和国家间的鸿沟,走出文化对峙的阴影, 构建一个多元共存、和谐共处的美好世界.三、研究现状：通过中国期刊网，我了解到国内目前有多所师范院校以及重点外国语大学对喜福会进行着相关的研究。如成都大学外国语学院副教授写的从喜福会看中美文化冲突、适应于共存 ，她通过对喜福会的研究深刻的写出了中西方文化的矛盾与共存，又如南通大学外语学院的张竞教授喜福会中的母女也介绍出了两代人的文化差异
13、矛盾的碰撞以及解决方法。 喜福会这部小说也被翻拍成同名电影，深受广大观众的喜爱。还有一些国外大学的文学课堂也不断地在深入研究着谭恩美的作品，由此可见中西方文化的差异在世界各地都非常受重视，我们更应该求同存异，寻找矛盾双方和谐共存的好方法。四、研究内容:1.引言 1.1 作者谭恩美简介1.2喜福会简介2.喜福会体现的中美文化差异2.1 爱和婚姻的观念的不同2.1.1 亲情观念的差异2.1.2 婚姻观念的差异2.1.2.1 西方婚姻的观念2.1.2.2 中国婚姻的观念2.3 价值观的不同2.3.1 对平等的理解的差异2.3.2 中国的传统家庭观2.3.3 美国的个人主义家庭观2.4 语言表达方式的

Four mothers with their own view of the world, their world view is based on their experiences of life in China. However, the girls from

As time goes by, after a series of misunderstandings and conflicts, they begin to understand each 中国地质大学长城学院 2014 届本科毕业论文- 1 -other. The two generations
