摘　　要：富兰克林在他的《自传》中提出了节制、沉默寡言、生活有秩序、决断、俭朴、勤劳、诚恳、正直、中庸、清洁、宁静、贞节、谦虚等十三项美德,这些美德充分体现了西方文化中的实用主义精神,指导一代又一代的美国人实现美国梦,却鲜少有人关注其思想来源。本文采用"影响研究"理论所倡导的由果溯源的模式来解读富兰克林的十三项美德,并通过对比这十三项修身美德和相应的中国文本中的道德修养准则来考证富兰克林对中国文化的汲取,从而探寻这十三项美德与中国传统儒家文化的渊源。This paper explores the Chinese sources in Benjamin Franklin s 13 virtues of moral perfection through the comparison between the 13 virtures of Bejamin Franklin and the moral principles in Chinese Confucian works.By comparison,the conclusion was made that Benjamin Franklin was greatly influenced by the Confucian moral principles in making his own principles of moral perfection,which makes great influence on Amercian as a nation.
