In her novels, the contemporary American writer Joyce Carol Oates has portrayed the relationships between man and nature. Under her pen, some characters are in harmony with nature, which has displayed the equal relationships among the members of biological community. Some characters appreciate the primitive ecological beauty in an aesthetic insight and they and nature form a harmonious picture of not interfering in the natural world. Some others are so friendly to natural things that they never hurt creatures in nature. The harmony among the members of the biological community has shown their mutual dependent relationships. In this way Oates has expressed her biocentric thought of respect for nature. From it readers can perceive her care for nature and her respectful attitude to nature.%美国当代作家乔伊斯·卡罗尔·欧茨在一些小说中对人与自然的关系进行了书写。在她的笔下，有些人与动植物和睦相处，显示出生物共同体成员间平等的关系；有些人以一种审美的眼光欣赏自然界的原生态美，与之构成了一幅不干涉自然界的生态审美和谐之图；另外一些人与自然万物为友，对自然界的生物不加伤害；生物共同体成员间的和谐之图表现出人与动植物的唇齿相依关系。欧茨借此表达了她尊重自然的生物中心主义思想，使读者能够从中领悟到她的自然关怀情结和她对自然的尊重态度。
