闲人不闲——贾平凹《闲人》的语义重书及修辞策略分析

Idler Is Not Idle——Analyze the Semantic Rewriting and Rhetorical Strategies of Idler Written by Jia Pingwa

闲人是文学史上一个特别的形象,古有食客闲人、富贵闲人,近有鲁迅笔下欺软怕恶的未庄闲人。闲人的词义在经过上千年后在词典中固定下来,"闲人"形象也在人们思维模式中形成了一定的认知。贾平凹的《闲人》突破前人的"闲人"认知和词典释义,完成了从"闲"到"非闲"的置换,用一个新"闲人"向读者表达了他对侠义、热血、正直的新阶层的渴望,唤醒读者心中人性最真诚的本质。

Idler is a particular ima ge in literary history, in which there were idlers called ＂ Shike ＂, wealth idle people in the ancient times and the one living in ＂ Wei Zhuang ＂ bullying good people but dreading evildoers described by Lu Xun.The meaning of idlers fixed in a dictionary after thousands of years, Idlers image formed in a certain pattern in people＇s mind. But Idler is breaking the previous cognition and dictionary definition about it, renumbering the idler image symbol and filling with the semantic information ＂ No Idle ＂ completed the replacement between the ＂ Idle ＂ to ＂ No Idle ＂. Jia Pingwa used a new ＂ idler ＂ to express his desire of the Chivalrous new class with enthusiasm and integrity while, he tried to wake up the most honest essence of human nature.
