摘　　要：使用语料库搭配检索工具,在自建的《纽约时报》社论小型语料库中以China为关键词进行检索,考察该词在语料中与其他词的高频搭配和共现情况,然后结合语境和相关政治、经济背景分析这些搭配词所体现的意识形态立场,最后归纳出《纽约时报》社论所呈现的中国形象是:一个经济实力和政治影响力不断增强的重要大国,既得到了美国主流媒体和主流阶层的承认与关切,也引发了一些不满和指责。This paper set out to examine the image of China as constructed in New York Times editori- als. First, the collocates of ＂China＂ were obtained from a self-buih corpus of approximately 16, 000 words by means of BFSU, a corpus concordancing program. Then, the top five frequent collocates were examined in detail with reference to their respective contexts as well as political and economic back- grounds. The analysis reveals that China＇ s growing economic and political power has been recognized by main-stream American media represented by New York Times. However, discontent and reprehen- sion have also been elicited at the same time.
