摘要：

Herman Melville's masterpiece Moby-Dick presented the readers with a grand war between man and nature. In this novel, the relation between man and nature was intensified to a new height. From the perspective of Ishmael' s nonaction on the Pequod and his indulgence in meditation, the novel is rich in ecological thought, especially the reflection upon the exploitation of nature by the whaling ship which served as a symbol of industrial civilization. The novel revealed that it is the modern industrial civilization that caused the intensified relation between man and nature and the distortion of human nature, meanwhile, the novel also reminded the modern people of their due respect for nature and expressed the author's sincere concern about the relation between man and nature,man and man, and human future in the process of modern industrial civilization.
