喜福会

身为女性，一直对女性意识的主题很感兴趣。《喜福会》这部电影就以四对母女关系探讨了女性意识的时代流变，对于女性的弱者的地位，与女性为求改变的不断抗争，进行了描摹。

旧中国的妇女，与美国的新时代女性，绵延半个多世纪，甚至将近一个世纪，女性在不断的找寻自己的位置，从被压迫与被欺凌的旧中国，到女性可以参与社会事务与男人平起平坐的、号称世界上最民主最开放的美国，可说是两重天，这个电影，给了我们展示女性地位变化、人格命运演变的最好的舞台。 女性找到真实的自我了吗？从外表上看，女儿们不再有母亲所要经受的父权与夫权的压迫，而精神上呢，女性自身对自身的束缚，却并未远离。

从血缘中，从慢慢追述的历史中，母亲们期望着的是，自己身上的悲剧不再重演，可是那些创伤已经渗入她们的骨髓，在对女儿们的教育中，她们将那些过高的期望、被压迫者过分的敏感与自尊一股脑压在女儿的身上，结果，造成了母女之间深深的隔阂，以及女儿残缺的人格。

周彩芹演的林朵阿姨，是个性鲜明、开朗直爽的母亲，从小靠自己的力量从包办婚姻中逃离，到了美国后，对女儿寄予了极高的期望，女儿有下国际象棋的天赋，得冠后照片被登上杂志封面，这位兴奋的母亲就一路拉着孩子向人夸耀，孩子并不喜欢，母亲就冷眼相向，当孩子向她请求谅解，想继续下棋，她却说了一句，想下就下没那么简单，这句气话，挫伤了女儿的自信，从此她觉得天赋远离了她，再也没赢过，不肯低头的母亲，就这样把孩子的信心给毁了。

女性的抗争，体现在家庭的这一层面，以女儿作为载体，结果是对女儿的成长造成了创伤，不仅不会成功，反而是女性对女性的进一步伤害，目的过于明确的教育，把自己的好强强加于女儿身上，是对另一个独立的心灵施加的强权，剥夺了灵魂独立性的教育，并不能实现自己的目的，却使得母女之间产生了深深的代沟，女儿们的心灵在畸形的教育下扭曲，成为心灵上的弱者，这是女性对女性的伤害。

心灵上的弱者，是真正的弱者。回看母亲当年，面临着体制的社会的压迫，她们以自己的聪明才智进行了抗争，并成功地从那里逃离，为自己找到了自由，而她们在女儿的心里造成的伤口，却令女儿们找不到自己。结果，四个女儿都走了弯路，或者婚姻不幸，或者生活失去目标，之所以成了“不完整”的人，是因为她们的人格不完整，是扭曲的，一直都为别人活着，或者是为母亲，或者是为丈夫，而从未想过按自己真实的意愿去活。

My Reflection of The Joy Luck Club

I wonder that when seeing the name The Joy Luck Club most people would treat it as a story filled with happiness and love. In fact, besides love, it is also about the cultural conflicts between four daughters and their mothers.

The film is based on the best seller by Amy Tan of the same name. It shows us the lives of four Chinese women who were immigrants to America during the 1950s. As a mother, each of them has a lot of problems with their daughter because of cultural conflicts. The misunderstanding of love between the mothers and their American-raised daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity touch every audience’s heart. Though I was also attracted by something with extensiveness——I want to talk about some points about the language.

从《喜福会》看跨文化交流

电影《喜福会》（The Joy Luck Club）以插叙的方式和细腻的手法将四对华裔母女的故事缓缓道出。四位母亲，她们生长在中国，准确的说是生长在解放前的旧中国，而她们每一位的心中都深藏着一些不幸的遭遇和或多或少悲痛的回忆。四个女儿，她们生长在美国，接受美国的教育和文化，竭力融入美国社会，她们一方面抗拒母亲的施加给她们的希冀，另一方面身上已经不可避免地带有了母亲潜移默化对她们的影响。

片头的独白说“老妇人记得多年前于上海，曾花费不菲买下一只天鹅。??旅途中，她告诉天鹅说，在美国我会有个像我的女儿，在那儿，她无需仰仗丈夫鼻息度日；没人会看低她，因为她将说得一口流利的英文；我要她成为一只比期望中还要好上一百倍的天鹅。??这羽毛虽不值钱，却是来自遥远的国度，一直载负着我的期盼。” 这一根鹅毛承载的是母亲沉甸甸的期盼，她不希望发生在自己身上的悲剧重演，希望女儿不像她一样是只不起眼的鸭子被人驱赶，她希望女儿成为一只高贵的天鹅自由自在。母亲希望女儿能承袭她的愿望和期盼，能过上母亲理想中的天鹅般的生活。

“她们忧心忡忡，虽然女儿们已经说得一口流利的英文，但却轻忽了她们来到美国的梦想。”女儿们在这一场文化冲突和交融中艰难地寻找属于自己的文化身份而不得。同时这一场文化冲突和交融集中表现为四对母女在相处中的矛盾、误解以及沉默。女儿们想极力摆脱中国式的文化模式，但最终还是无法超越自己的文化之根，仍落入与母亲相似的命运中去了。“我们宛如上楼梯，一步又一步，或上或下，永远重复着相同的命运。”所幸，最终母女们能坦诚地交流，女儿们理解了母亲们的苦心，母亲们也卸下了心中的担忧。这一场跨文化的交流终于有了好的结果。

这是一部改编自华裔作家小说，由华裔导演执拍，由华裔演员主演的好莱坞电影。因此整部戏处处可见跨文化交流、传播以及冲突中的真实细节。首先是语言，影片以英语为主，母女间的对话也都是英语，主人公君还要求阿姨们不许讲中文以防她们打麻将作弊。因为君（包括其他的女儿们）听不懂中文、看不懂中文，也不会说中文。语言有很多种作用，包括交际、情感表达、表达身份，还有区分文化。母亲和女儿语言上的隔阂也是造成她们多年来交流失语的一大重要因素。并非母语的英语或许难以传达母亲们的良苦用心，更难以向女儿们传递传统的文化。其次是喜福会，喜福会是君的母亲苏一手操办起来的，是每周联络起四个母亲的一场重要的聚会。母亲们在喜福会里寻找文化的认同和慰藉，在这里她们可以打麻将，可以做中国菜，可以用中文拉家常。这一种聚会的形式和意义类似于同乡会。这是外国人所没有的。每一个中国人都或多或少有一点乡土情结，他们的根深深地种在中国的土地里，种在家乡的土地里。不管走得多远，那一缕的乡思也会牵扯着出门在外的游子，引他们频频回望故乡。中国人对族群文化很看重，有很强的过去时间导向，所以不仅是海外，国内的各个省市也都有大大小小的同乡会存在。一群有相近文化背景的人能够通过同乡会寻求陪伴和慰藉，也能更好地保存下他们的传统文化。然后是高低语境，当安美阿姨端出她的拿手菜——蒸鱼时，她说“这道菜做的不好，味道有些淡，请包涵”，这是中国人表示礼貌的自谦，或者说是极其含蓄的自夸。而不懂中国文化的理查则理解为蒸鱼的确味道不好，自作主张地帮安美阿姨倒了许多酱油在菜里。当然后果是非常尴尬的了。这一场景很充分地表现了不同文化间的高低语境。在高背景文化中，一条信息的语言部分所包含的信息比较少，而大部分信息隐含在沟通接触的过程中，涉及到参与沟通人员的背景、所属社团及其基本价值观，比如亚洲国家和拉丁美洲国家。而在低背景文化中，信息表达比较直接明确，语言是沟通中大部分信息的载体，比如美国、德国和斯堪的纳维亚国家。所以处于低背景文化的理查自然不
