摘　　要：狄更斯的《远大前程》通过形式结构凝聚起批判力量,对维多利亚社会流行的财富观做出道德阐释。皮普接受了绅士文化的感召,却未能用它来塑形自己的意念和行动。《远大前程》围绕着财产赠予展开,但是这笔财富涉及道德正义的幻影和资产的原罪问题,表露出维多利亚人在社会流动过程中跨越阶级和地域的上`行之路并非易事。通过对小说人物所持财富观的批判,狄更斯表达出他对英国文化价值体系里面工业精神衰落状况的深度思考。Dickens builds up the power of critique through the formation and structure of Great Expectations, making a moral interpretation of the popular notion of wealth in Victorian society. Pip, with the gift from Magwitch, follows the trend of social mobility but fails to model himself as a gentleman. The gift, which enables him to climb to a higher stratum of the society, implicates the illusion of moral righteousness and the original sin of capital. The forging and melting of power reveals the hardship that one may encounter in the upward endeavor of social mobility. This novel exemplifies Dickens＇ reconsideration of and worry about the decline of industrial spirit in the value judgments of British culture.
