摘要
本文以《斯通家史札记》为例,试图分析小说中现在时的叙事功能。文章认为,小说使用现在时叙事,就本小说而言,有利于读者将此小说读作日记式虚构自传,就通常而言,它有利于吸引读者即时感受叙述人讲述故事,同时由于现在时常常暗示一条直达人物心灵的连接线,故而也有利于读者进入人物的内心世界。
Taking The Stone Diaries as a case study,this article tries to analyze the narrative functions of the present tense in fiction. It argues that the employment of the present tense in fiction helps the reader to read the novel as a fictional autobiography in form of diary in particular,and in general serves to attract the reader to the fascinating immediacy of the narration and direct him/her to the mind of a character as the present tense often suggests "a direct link with a character s mind".
