摘　　要：本文从弗洛姆人道主义伦理学的角度,解读欧茨小说《我的妹妹,我的爱》中主人公史盖乐·蓝派克的伦理选择以及对其人格成长的意义。人道主义伦理学认为,人的目标就是潜能的实现和内在幸福的获得。但是人自身具有两种潜能,一种是维持和促进生命发展的善的潜能,另一种是阻碍和破坏生命的恶的潜能,它的实现取决于个人的自由选择。小说中的家庭悲剧、史盖乐的十年冤屈,以及最后的真相大白,都使他陷入两难的选择困境。人道主义伦理学使我们看到,史盖乐在良心和理性的指引下最终做出的伦理选择,标志着他生产性人格的发展;他对爱和人性的信仰也使他自我的精神得以救赎,实现了个人的自由存在。This essay analyzes Oates's novel My Sister,My Love from the perspective of Erich Fromm's humanistic ethics,with the hope to demonstrate the protagonist Skyler's ethical choice and its significance to his personality development.The alienation of the relationship among family members,the family tragedy which leads to Skyler's psychiatric disorders and inhibits his life potentials and personality,and the sudden revelation of the truth ten years later,drive Skyler into the depth of despair and loneliness,while at same time offers him an opportunity of personality re-development.The final choice he makes under the guidance of his conscience and rationality symbolizes the development of his productive personality.His love and faith in humanity leads to his spiritual salvation and positive free existence.
