论周氏兄弟在“百草园”叙述中的隐去与凸显

The Concealment and Prominence in Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren's Narration of“Hundred-Plant Garden”

鲁迅与周作人出生于浙江绍兴一个败落的封建士大夫家庭,都在百草园中度过了少年时代,相同的成长环境与类似的童年经历使得两人的“百草园”叙述存在诸多重合面。但对读二人关于“百草园”的文字叙述,会发现重合叙述之外又存在一些龃龉。鲁迅的“百草园”叙述几乎略去了周作人的存在感,而周作人这一“后来者”看似是在以一个客观向导的身份去帮助搭建完整的晚清“百草园”,但他对鲁迅“百草园”叙述的“评头论足”又体现出一定攻势。可以说,周氏兄弟在“百草园”叙述中的隐去与凸显不仅暗示出二人尴尬的亲属关系,更指向了两种截然不同的道路与选择。

Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren were born in same family of feudal literati in Shaoxing,Zhejiang province.They both spent their boyhood in Hundred-Plant Garden.The same growth environment and similar childhood experience resulted in overlapping aspects in their respective narration on“Hundred-plant Garden”.A comparative analysis on their narrations will disclose that discrepancies exist between their overlapping narration.Lu Xun almost left out Zhou Zuoren's existence in his narration,whereas Zhou Zuoren,a“latecomer”,seemed to act as an objective guide who helped in building a complete“Hundred-Plant Garden”of the late Qing dynasty.However,his comment on Lu Xun's narration showed some offence.It can be said that the concealment and prominence in their narration not only hinted the awkward family relation between them,but also pointed to two completely different choices and paths of life.
