罗斯金对19世纪英国工业发展引起的环境问题有清醒的认识,认为是人的“道德阴郁”导致了“环境的阴郁”。在《金河王》中,罗斯金以童话的艺术形式阐释了自己对人的道德、自然生态和财富的见解。人的道德危机造成了生态危机,真正的财富存在于人与自然和谐共处的自然环境中,因此,人要获得财富就要珍惜生态环境,不断进行道德的完善。 Rosekin has a clear understanding of the environmental problems caused by British industrial development in the nineteenth century and believes that “moral gloom” leads to “dark gloomy environment.” In King of the Golden River, Ruskin interprets his own views on human morality, natural ecology and wealth in the fairy tale art form. Human’s moral crisis has caused the ecological crisis. The real wealth exists in the natural environment where man and nature coexist harmoniously. Therefore, to obtain wealth, people must cherish the ecological environment and constantly improve their morality.
