长篇小说《孤石》以独特的视角反映了美国著名作家约翰·赫西对中美文化交流的探索性思考。《孤石》描写一个年轻的美国工程师为实地考察在长江三峡筑坝建造水电站的可能性，而坐上一条中国古老平底船的所见、所闻、所感。小说作者借助大坝、手表、民间信仰活动三个极具象征意味的意象，既展示了一幅古老中国的风景画，更揭示了横亘在东方与西方、古老中国与现代美国之间无可逾越的文化壁垒。分析发现，中美文化壁垒的产生缘于中美两国哲学基础的对立、生活方式和价值观念的迥异，以及宗教信仰的矛盾。

With a unique perspective , A Single Pebble , a novel , reflects the famous American writer John Hersey’s exploratory thinking to the cultural exchange between China and America .The novel described what a young American engineer had seen and thought on an ancient Chinese punt when he took the trip for investigating a plan of constructing a hydro‐pow der station on T hree Gorges in Yangtze River .By watches ,dams and religious activities ,these three symbolic images ,the novel showed not only a picture of the ancient Chinese landscape ,but also the great insurmountable cultural barriers between the East and the West ,between ancient China and modern America .Through the analysis we find that the Sino‐US cultural barriers come from the opposition of the Chinese and American philosophical foundations ,the differences of their lifestyles and values ,and the contradiction of their religious beliefs .
