摘要
叙事作品的内容可以从两个方面考察。一是这些内容所包含的人物、情节、环境、事件、场景、细节等要素以及这些要素的多寡,一是这些要素之间的相互联系与组织。西方叙事侧重要素的具体呈现,中国叙事侧重要素之间的关系。这表现在三个方面。其一,从内容上看,西方叙事文学侧重要素的细度,中国叙事文学侧重要素的密度。其二,从形式方面看,西方叙事技巧主要是围绕要素的呈现而设置与展开的,中国叙事技巧则主要围绕要素的关系而设置和展开。其三,从内容与形式的关系看,相比而言,中国古代叙事作品内容对形式的影响与制约程度要高许多,而西方叙事文学形式对内容的影响与选择则更为突出。
The content of narrative works can be examined from two aspects: the elements of characters, plots, environments, events, settings, details and the total number of the elements, and the connection and organization of elements. Western narrative lays particular emphasis on the detailed demonstration of elements, while Chinese narrative focuses on the interrelationship of elements. Specifically, in terms of content, Western narrative literature pays attention to the details of elements, while Chinese narrative literature pays attention to the thickness of elements. As for the form, Western narrative strategies serve for the presentation of element, while Chinese narrative techniques work for the relationship of elements. Given the correlation between content and form, the form of traditional Chinese narrative works is conditioned by their content, while Western novels enjoy more freedom in form.
