汉语语境:

《金山华人》中每个主人公所追求的美国梦不尽相同，但归结起来不外乎物质领域的追求和对精神自由的渴望。他们的终极目标都是为了实现作一名富裕、民主、自由的美国人的梦想。《金山华人》中许多华裔改头换面，在外形上发生了显著的变化，剪掉了长辫，穿起了洋装。但是由于肤色不同以及少数族裔的身份，他们追求美国身份的梦想最终破灭。与此同时，为了金钱，他们在精神层面上出现了人性的扭曲，畸形的人际关系和变态的人格。男性出现去男性化的特征，女性生活艰辛，他们各自都身心疲惫。

英语语境:

To Kingston and her forefathers, American dream contains various forms, such as the pursuit of gold, the quest for liberty and so on. The ultimate goal of their American dreams is to claim American identity. Those Chinese immigrants wear western-style clothes and alter their manners to prove their American identity; however, the articulating of American identity is smashed because of their ethnicity status and the color of skin. The accompanying distortion of personality, the emasculated male characters and the despised women roles prove that her forefathers'dream of becoming “real Americans”form into bubble in the process of striving for success.
