汪曾祺小说语言的模糊修辞艺术

The Art of Fuzzy Rhetoric in the Language of Wang Zengqi’s Fictions

文学语体不像其他科学语体那样讲究极致精确,恰当运用模糊语言往往能给人带来别样的审美享受。文学语言的美就在于模糊美、含蓄美、朦胧美,这一点在汪曾祺诗化小说中体现得淋漓尽致。他的小说风格含蓄蕴藉,别有韵味,正是由于他善于利用恰切得体的模糊词语、新颖别致的词义搭配、言浅意深的语义留白、耐人寻味的标点异用、画面感强的词语迭现等模糊修辞技巧,给读者带来想象空间,增添了小说的语言美。

Literary style is not as precise as other scientific styles, and proper use of fuzzy language can often bring people a different kind of aesthetic enjoyment. The beauty of literary language lies in the beauty of vagueness, subtlety,and haziness, which is reflected most vividly in Wang Zengqi’s poetic fictions. The style of his fictions is subtle and imaginative, and has a unique charm. It is precisely because he is good at using appropriate vague words, novel and unique word meaning collocations, semantic blanks with shallow meanings, intriguing punctuation, and words with a strong sense of picture. Fuzzy rhetorical skills such as repetition and display bring readers imagination space and add the language beauty of his fictions.
