一“哭”,二“闹”,三“上调”——兼论“二进”所揭示的主题

Crying and Screaming Contributes to Promotions

周进撞号板,最动人心魄处在于其"哭",原因有三:受"老友"的奚落;受"举人"的凌辱;被炒鱿鱼后的功名无望。范进中举最精彩处在于一"闹"字,除了范进发疯自闹外,众乡邻闹;胡屠户闹;张乡绅闹。他们饱尝了科举蹭蹬带来的物质与精神上的双重打击后,最终都仕途顺利,屡屡上"调"。他们辛酸而又富于戏剧性的人生遭际,是对毒害士子心灵的八股取士制度最有力的暴露和批判。作者借"二进"这两个人物形象寄寓了"一代文人有厄"的创作主题。

Although Zhou Jin and Fan Jin＇s promotion ways are different, the former got promoted by crying while the latter by disturbing, they have suffered similar spiritual and material blows brought about by the imperial civil examination. Their bitter and dramatic life experiences are the most forceful exposition and critique to the Eight - part Essay examination. By analyzing the two characters the paper expresses the theme of the author＇s writing, i. e. the intellectuals of that time were miserable.
