《一句顶一万句》中的地理空间

Geographical Space in One Sentence Worth Ten Thousand

刘震云在小说《一句顶一万句》中构建了两个地理空间,即自己的故乡河南延津与山西沁源,这两个地理空间与人物的命运、小说的故事走向相交织,推动小说的情节发展。两个主人公之间虽然跨越了时间和空间,但在地理空间中所经历的的事情是相同的,形成对照关系,沁源是延津故事的延续,延津是沁源故事的起源,两个地理空间之间既对照又互补。这两个地理空间都代表着主人公的故乡,却不是作者在之前作品中所写的那个温情脉脉的故乡,而是让人要逃离的地方。

Liu Zhen-yun constructed two geographic spaces in his novel One Sentence Worth Ten Thousand,that is his hometown-Henan Yanjin and Shanxi Qinyuan. These two geographic spaces are intertwined with the fate of the characters and the story direction of the novel,which promotes the development of the plots. Although the two protagonists span time and space,they experience the same things in geographical space,forming a contrast relationship. Qinyuan is the continuation of the story of Yanjin,and Yanjin is the origin of the story of Qinyuan. The two geographic spaces are in contrast and complementary. Both of these geographic spaces represent the protagonist’s hometown,but they are not the sentimental hometown described in the author’s previous works,but the place they want to escape.
