摘　　要：埃梅切塔的小说《母性的喜悦》生动地塑造了被奴役地尼日利亚妇女的生活及当时在传统农经文化和殖民主义冲击下的尼日利亚社会。与拥有小说题目中的作为九个孩子母亲的"喜悦"相反,小说中的女主人公NnuEgo最终发现自己一直被奴役在专治的父亲、丈夫、孩子、男权主义文化及殖民主义下。虽然女主人公在小说结尾意识到自己作为一个女儿、妻子、母亲和女人的权益的监禁,但是她已经不能做出任何抗争与改变。此小说的意义也就在于,通过揭示出当时女性所遭受的隐形奴役,埃梅切塔向后来的读者传达出挣脱传统糟粕及外势力量,并追求自我、追求自由和独立的深刻寓意。The Joys of Motherhood, written by Buchi Emecheta, is a novel vividly depicts lives of the enslaved Nigerian women and the contemporary Nigeria society under the cultural collision of both traditional culture and the colonialist influence. In contrast to the ＂joys＂ that the main character of the novel, Nnu Ego, enjoys as nine children＇s mother as the title indicates, Nnu Ego＇s life is finally proved to be the invisible slavehood under a dominant father, husbands, children, the patriarchal culture and the colonialism. Even though Nnu Ego realizes her imprisonment as a daughter, a wife, a mother and finally a woman at the end of the story, it is too late for her to resist and change. Nevertheless, by revealing the enslavement that women have suffered, Emecheta reminds later readers to pursue self, freedom and indepen- dence by unfettering the yokes of any traditions or chains of any outside forces.
