郑廷玉《看钱奴》中“笑”的意蕴解读

The Implications of “Smile” in Zheng Tingyu's Kan Qian Nu

"笑"是喜剧外在表现范式,喜剧传递出的笑,貌似轻松实则严肃。《看钱奴》是中国最早的讽刺喜剧之一,人们被剧中人物滑稽言行逗乐时,内心却很难平静。从该剧贾仁等人的言行中,人们体味到了批判、辛酸、旷达三种不同意味的笑,看到了人性的恶习和弱点,并在感叹生命渺小与生存不易的辛酸过程中,思考着人生该有的态度,从而达到了对生命一种的超越。

'Smiles'in comedies are seemingly entertaining,but may be very serious and thought provoking.Kan Qian Nuis one of earliest satirical comedies in China.When the audience feels amused by the words and deeds of the play,their soul is disturbed.Three types of'smiles'are aroused in the play:critical smiles,bitter smiles,and forgiving smiles.The human evil and vulnerability revealed by the smiles force the audience to lament the insignificance and hardship of life and rethink their attitude toward existence,hopefully a transcending one.
