画入诗,诗入画,诗即画——析纳博科夫小说中的“诗如画”书写

Picture in Poetry,Poetry in Picture,Poetry as Picture:On ut picture poesis in Nabokov’s Fiction

纳博科夫用作画的方式书写小说,将小说视作绘画。这一书写特征可从三方面把握:一是小说中出现了大量的画家画作,它们帮助塑造人物形象,推动故事情节发展。二是作家常刻意将故事的讲述融入绘画的框架内,让小说的情节模仿画中的场景,达到"以诗入画"的效果。最后,纳博科夫视理想的创作与阅读为绘画,自觉地用五彩的文字进行着如画般的书写。画入诗,诗入画、诗即画,生动地诠释了纳博科夫小说中"诗如画"的书写特征。

Nabokov often writes in a painterly way, or paints in a writerly way. This method can be approached in the following three ways. Firstly, numerous painters and paintings in his novels help mold characters and push forward story plots. Secondly, the author intentionally structures his story within the framework of a painting, letting the story imitate the scenes in paintings. Thus his novels often achieve the effect of ＂poetry within picture＂. Finally, Nabokov takes ideal writing and reading as a painting. He employs highly colorful words in his painterly writings. Picture in poetry, poetry in picture, poetry as picture--these aspects attest to the fact that Nabokov has always written by an ut picture poesis method.
