《雅舍小品》的杂文色彩

The Essay Flavor in Elegant Shed Sketch

梁实秋的《雅舍小品》无疑具有隐逸倾向,但其中一部分谈论社会现象和人生百态的作品,形象引人发噱,笔法机智圆活,语言充满谐趣,这三个特征决定了这部分作品带有杂文色彩。它们虽然还算不上纯粹意义的杂文,但也决不能以“小摆设”目之,其思想意义和社会价值不可低估。

＂Elegant Shed Sketch＂ by Liang Shiqiu undoubtedly has a reclusive tendency. Some writings in it, however, are about certain social phenomena and various situations of life. Judging from three characteristics they have： interesting images, agile writing technique and humorous language, we are sure that they have the essay flavor. In a sense, they are not pure essays, and we can in no way despise them as ＂knicknacks＂ because their ideological significance and social value shall not be underestimated.
