解读汪曾祺《八千岁》中的“变”与“不变”

The interpretation of"changed"and"unchanged"in Wang Zengqi′s Eight Thousand Years Old

当代小说家汪曾祺的《八千岁》以短篇的形式展现了一个包罗万象的市民世界。小说的精彩之处在于通过设置别具一格的“变”与“不变”形式,串联人物关系,推进情节发展,表现主题内涵。“变”的是小说中人物的性格与命运,以个体和群体的命运浮沉影射社会阶层和时代风云的变幻;“不变”的是市民世界中的百味人生与人性之美。

The contemporary novelist Wang Zengqi′s Eight Thousand Years Old presents an all-encompassing world of common people in a short story.The highlight of the novel lies in its unique"changed"and"unchanged"forms,which connect the relationships between characters,promote plot development,and express thematic connotations."Changed"refers to the personality and destiny of the characters in the story,reflecting the vicissitudes of social classes and times by describing the ups and downs of individual and group fates.What remains"unchanged"is the beauty of life and human nature in the world of common people.
