宝黛“青梅竹马”叙述评议

Comment on “Childhood Romance” Between Baoyu and Daiyu

《红楼梦》呈现的贾宝玉、林黛玉"奇缘",总体是由浪漫的"木石前盟"与现实的"青梅竹马"故事结合构成。小说以"宝黛"的"两小无猜"为叙述核心,以贾琏与王熙凤,司棋与潘又安,薛蟠与夏金桂等几对"鸳鸯"为侧面烘托,从而构筑了一个立体的叙述时空。"宝黛""青梅竹马"故事的叙述核心是"真正的恋人乃是心灵的‘知己’,是相互之间的敬重和体贴关爱"。然而,大观园几乎所有"青梅竹马"的情侣均以悲剧而告终,它既体现真爱的难得,也象征了传统专制王朝下金钱和权势对真爱的压抑和阻碍。

A Dream of Red Mansions presents the predestined relationship between Baoyu and Daiyu which includes the romantic"previous wood-stone oath of alliance"and realistic"childhood romance".The novel takes Baoyu and Daiyu’s attachment as the core of"childhood romance"narration and uses several couples,such as Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng,Si Qi and Pan Youan,Xue Pan and Xia Jingui,as their contrast,constructing three-dimensional narrative time and space.The narrative core of"childhood romance"between Baoyu and Daiyu is that"a true pair of lovers are spiritual bosom friends who respect and care about each other".However,almost all couples in the Grand View Garden ended in tragedy,which displays the rareness of true love and traditional autocratic dynasty’s suppression and obstruction to true love.
