Abstract: This thesis aims to reveal the marriage conception of Leila in Bone by analyzing Leila’s attitudes toward both her mother’s two marriages and her own marriage with Mason. Moreover, this thesis tries to find out the causes of the formation of the marriage concept of Leila by analyzing the text from two aspects: firstly, the shadow of bachelor society on every aspect of the Chinese-American community, which indicates that Chinese Americans suffer great racial discrimination; secondly, the influences of both traditional Chinese culture and American culture, which show the conflicts and integration between traditional Chinese culture and American culture.

摘要：本文旨在通过分析莱拉对其母亲两次婚姻的看法及对待自己与梅森的婚姻的态度来揭示莱拉的婚姻观。本文还试图从两个方面探寻莱拉婚姻观的成因：一是美国华人社区“单身汉社会”的阴影，从而折射出美国华人遭受巨大的种族歧视；二是中美两国文化的影响，从而客观地展现中美两国文化的冲突与融合。
