作家写小说应当塑造活的人物;人物,不是角色。角色是模仿。如果作家把人物写活了,即使书里没有大角色,但是他的书作为一个整体有可能留传下来。小说中的人物不是靠技巧编造出来的角色,他们必须出自作者自己经过消化了的经验,出自他的知识,出自他的头脑,出自他的内心,出自一切他身上的东西。 Write a novel should be a living person; a character is not a character. The role is imitation. If a writer writes a character, even if he does not have a big character in the book, his book as a whole may be left behind. The characters in the novels are not skill-based characters, they must come from the author’s own digested experience, from his knowledge, from his mind, from his heart, from everything else in him.
