老舍先生是一位当之无愧的语言大师。他在语言艺术上的造诣,可与鲁迅、侯宝林等任何一种艺术领域内的巨匠相媲美。他高超的语言技巧当然首先表现在小说和戏剧中,但众所周知,没有什么体裁是老舍所不能驾驭的,他是中国现、当代文场上的全能冠军。 Lao She is a well-deserved language master. His accomplishments in linguistic art are comparable to those of any other art field such as Lu Xun and Hou Baolin. His superb language skills, of course, first appeared in fiction and drama, but as we all know, there is no genre that Lao She can not control. He is the all-around champion in modern and contemporary Chinese.
