英王作为维系殖民地和母国的纽带,其在殖民地人民心目中的形象的改变,不仅反映出这二者之间的关系变化,同时也反映出殖民地独立思想不断演变成熟的过程。这是北美殖民地人民思想和心灵上经历的一场艰难转变,这一转变过程也为殖民地摒弃国王和君主制作了思想上和舆论上的准备。 As a link between the colonies and their home countries, the King’s change in the image of the colonial people not only reflects the changes in relations between the two, but also reflects the continuous evolution and maturation of colonial ideas of independence. This is a difficult change of mind and soul that the colonial peoples of North America experienced. This process of change has also made both the ideological and media preparations for the rejection of the kings and monarchs by the colonies.
