读者阅读某些小说时之所以有一种屈辱感,原因恐怕就在于小说家在创作过程中总是为读者的理解力担心。怕他们不能进入自己为他们描绘的规定情境。而不厌其烦地说了又说,写了再写,把本可以暗示给读者的东西,都一鳞一瓜地写得丝毫毕现,把本来可以由读者心神领会的“空白”,都从头到尾,说尽讲完,使每一句话都符合读者的预测,情节的发展完全在读者的意料之中。殊不知,世上的事多得不计其数,哪能说完讲尽。一下子叫读者知道个够呢?即使创作百万言的小说,所描摹的人和事物也总是有限的;你就是叫曹雪芹再写八十回,也不能“包举宇内”、“囊括四海”;把封建末世的种种世态人情写全。关键是“用最小的面积惊人地集中最大量的思想”(巴尔扎克:《论艺术家》),在有限的篇幅内给读者更多的东西。
The reason why the readers read certain novels is that they have a sense of humiliation. The reason is probably that the novelists are always worried about readers’ comprehension. Fear they can not enter their own situation for their description of the situation. And said with a tiresome remark that writing, writing, and writing something that could have been implied to the reader was done in its entirety and that the “blank space”, which could have been understood by the readers, was all over the place , Said to finish, so that every sentence is consistent with the reader’s prediction, plot development fully in the reader’s expectations. As everyone knows, there are so many things in the world, which can be finished. Suddenly called the reader know enough? Even if the creation of a million words of novels, the tracing of people and things are always limited; you are called Cao Xueqin write eighty times, can not “enumerate Yu”, “encompassing the whole world ”; The feudal end of all kinds of worldly humanity write the whole. The key is “to amaze the greatest amount of ideas with the smallest area” (Balzac: “On Artists”), giving the reader more in a limited space.
