出身波兰贵族家庭的英籍作家康拉德被认为是对异族文化认同并被接纳的一个成功典型。他在自己的回忆作品中讲述了自己成功的经历,但很少讲到自己在认同与被接纳过程中遭到的挫折。其小说《艾米·福斯特》中的主人公扬柯与他有相似的经历,但却是一个悲剧性结局。把康拉德与其小说人物扬柯做对比,可以发现在文化认同与接纳过程中某种难以言说的复杂与艰难。 Conrad, a British writer from a Polish aristocratic family, is considered a successful example of identity and acceptance of alien cultures. He recounted his successful experiences in his memories, but seldom talked about his setbacks in his identification and acceptance. Yang Ke, the protagonist in his novel Amy Foster, has a similar experience with him, but it is a tragic ending. Comparing Conrad with his novels Yang Ke can reveal some unspeakable complexity and hardship in the process of cultural identity and acceptance.
