讽刺的是，电影《阿凡达》将比任何的社论，大学课程，甚至来自美国国外的抗议更能让美国认识到，在面对其在世界其他地区里压迫性存在的形象时，它所使用的国家神话是如此的肤浅。
Ironically, Avatar will probably do more to exhume Americans’ suppressed knowledge about the shallowness of their national mythology in the face of their oppressive presence in the rest of the world than any amount of editorializing, college courses, or even protest from outside America’s borders.
