约翰·缪尔的作品《我在内华达山的第一夏》贯穿着主人公初次深入体验加州群山时的新生之感,他笔下的此次登山之行可被视为对本原的探寻。本文从缪尔对和谐怀有的信念出发,讨论《第一夏》中自然和谐观的体现,继而关注主人公在山间现象面前经受的内心转变。最后,本文探讨缪尔对此行作为追溯神圣源泉之旅的意识,思索旅人在高山雪泉间的感悟。

John Muir’s book, “My First Summer in the Sierra Nevada,” runs through the heroine’s first sense of new life as she delves into the mountains of California for the first time. His journey to mountaineering can be seen as a quest for primitiveness. Based on Muir’s faith in harmony, this article discusses the manifestation of the concept of harmony in nature in “The First Summer”, and then pays attention to the inner transformation that the hero undergoes in front of the mountain phenomenon. Finally, this article explores Muir’s awareness of this trip as a retrospective sacred spring source, pondering travelers’ sentiment in the alpine snow spring.
