“犯不见犯”笔法下袭人与平儿“贤”“俏”之对比

Contrastive study of“virtue”and“smartness”between Xiren and Ping′er under the viewpoint of“similarity but not identity”

袭人与平儿无论是在身份地位及处境方面,还是在相貌、品性及才能等形象塑造方面都可见“犯不见犯”笔法的印记。作者或者通过“明犯”,如在回目上二者的成对出现,或者通过“暗犯”,如在不同场景、相似情节下二者遥相呼应的同中有异、异中有同的表现来揭示她们形象的异同。同时,“犯不见犯”笔法的运用也有助于深刻把握这两颗犹如双子星般存在的相似人物形象的不同内涵。

Both Xiren and Ping′er show“similarity but not identity”in their status,appearance,character and ability.The author pairs the two through“clear similarity”,or reveals their images through“surreptitiously similarity”,such as similarities and differences in analogies that echo each other in different scenes and similar plots.This stroke also helps to grasp the different connotations of these two similar binary characters.
