The New York Times has casted corresponding ideology and value of the disseminator. The newspaper constructed illusions about the China’s environmental image including the disorder between human and nature under the extreme pursuit of economy, an environmental Frankenstein neglecting the control of the technology, the protest from environmental activists, the contention for the international discourse power of the environment by utilizing intertextuality, metaphor, excessive lexicalization and other techniques. Applying Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis Theory, this paper analyzes the Environmental News Corpus of New York Times from three dimensions: speech description, discourse practice interpretation and social practice interpretation. It is not difficult to find the socialized power behind the discourse practice of this newspaper and the paving effect of stigmatizing China’s environment and China’s image. It is hereby proposed that scientificity and transcultural features should be further enhanced to improve the cognition paradigm and practical competence of the Chinese self-image construction.
