油滑:《故事新编》中的润滑剂

Oily:On the Lubricant of New Story Compilation

以往学者对鲁迅所说的“油滑”含义没有细致辨析,误把其当作日常用语中油腔滑调的意思,其实鲁迅的“油滑”是有特定所指的,是针对某系列人物言行风格的总称。鲁迅反感油腔滑调人物和不严肃的创作态度,但是在厦门大学的生活感受,激发了他的灵感,他把“油滑”当作文学润滑剂插入历史故事中,让历史人物与“油滑”人物相遇,创造了新的文体,也创建了自己的“油滑”哲学,激活了呆板的历史故事和人物形象。

In the past,scholars did not carefully differentiate and analyze the meaning of“oily”mentioned by Lu Xun,mistaking it for unctuous tone in daily language.In fact,Lu Xun’s“oily”refers to a specific style of speech and behavior of a series of characters.Lu Xun disliked slick characters and careless creative attitudes.However,his life experience in Xiamen University inspired him.He used“oily”as a literary lubricant to insert into historical stories,and allowed historical figures to meet with“oily”characters,which creates a new literary style and his own“oily”philosophy,so as to activate rigid historical stories and character images.
