本文从亨利·詹姆斯对辛西娅·欧芝克的影响入手,探寻欧芝克追求艺术人生的动力和源泉,解读她开拓犹太主题的原因和动机,揭示她的创作思想与大师创作理念的契合和对之做出的回应,从而论证影响并非毁灭,模仿和创新并不冲突,崇拜偶像、背离大师和回归初爱是欧芝克文学创作的必由之路。 This article begins with the influence of Henry James on Cynthia Ochik, explores the motivation and source of Ochik’s pursuit of artistic life, explains the reason and motivation of her exploration of the Jewish theme, and reveals the correspondence between her creative thinking and master’s creative concept. Therefore, it is argued that the impact is not destruction, imitation and innovation are not in conflict, idolatry worship, deviating from the master and returning to first love are the only ways for Ozick literature creation.
