Abstract: Mark Twain，an outstanding American writer in 19th century, was commonly considered a great humanist. His attitude toward the Indians was impersonal and just and he expressed moral support to their unfair experiences. But, we could also see that the author would show, intentionally or unconsciously, the superiority complex of his race and his culture when he described the images of the colored people. Through a panoramic summarization and analysis of the colored ethnic group images in Mark Twain’s texts by the way of neo-historical criticism, on the one hand, we could reeva luate the historical and cultural status of Mark Twain, on the other hand, the association of the studying of Mark Twain’s texts and neo-historical criticism also makes this critical way of more extraordinary meaning.
Key Words: Mark Twain; superiority; the colored ethnic images; neo-historical criticism

摘  要：馬克·吐溫是十九世紀(jì)美國杰出的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義作家，被公認(rèn)為偉大的人道主義者。在很多情況下，他對有色人種所持的態(tài)度比較客觀公正，對他們所受的不公正待遇予以道義上的聲援。但是我們同樣看到作家在描寫和塑造印第安人形象時(shí)會(huì)有意或無意地流露出白人種族的優(yōu)越意識(shí)和文化優(yōu)越感。通過運(yùn)用新歷史主義批評方法對馬克·吐溫文本中的有色族群形象進(jìn)行全景式的概覽和分析，一方面我們可以對馬克·吐溫的歷史文化地位進(jìn)行重新評估和定位，另一方面，馬克·吐溫文本的研究與新歷史主義批評的結(jié)合也使得這一批評方式更具非凡的意義。
