中国有句古话:文似看山不喜平。这句话的意思很清楚,是说文章像山一样,须得“横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同”才能给人以审美享受。平铺直叙,没有变化的文章是使人不忍卒读的。正因为如此,作家无不刻意构思,精心安排,力图使文章峰回路转,波澜迭起。一般小说由于没有篇幅的限制,若做到这一点似乎还不甚难,而微型小说常常只有几百字甚至百十字,在这样短小的篇幅里若想达到峰回路转的艺术境界实在是不容易的。《三封电报》之所以有着迷人的魅力,就在于它能尺水兴波,一 There is an ancient Chinese saying: The text looks like the mountain is not flat. The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is to say that the article is like a mountain, must be “viewed into the side of the mountain into a peak, different levels from far and near” to give people an aesthetic enjoyment. Tiled straightforward, no change in the article is unbearable. It is precisely for this reason that writers have deliberately conceived ideas and made meticulous arrangements in an effort to make the article reverberate. Since there is no space limit for general novels, it does not seem very difficult to do this. Mini-fiction is often only a few hundred words or even hundreds of crosses. In such a short space, it is not easy to reach the artistic realm of revolving around. The reason why the “three telegrams” have fascinating charm lies in the ability to use water to make waves.
