在一切都商品化的资产阶级文明国度里,美,自然是一种商品,而且是一种高档商品,妙龄女郎用美色来做骇人听闻的交易,那是极其平常的事。但是丑,丑陋不堪的丑女,能否不加任何装饰地公开作为上等商品出售呢?左拉的名作——短篇小说《陪衬人》很好地回答了这个奇特的问题。《陪衬人》(1865)是左拉早期优秀短篇之一,与他的第一部长篇小说《克洛德的忏悔》作于同年。当时左拉年仅二十五岁,他的创作一方面受到早期浪漫主义文学的影响,另一方面,他的自然主义的倾向已露端绪。尽管他后来一直倡导自然主义创作方法,但他的创作实践,表明他忠于现实、正 In all the bourgeois civilizations that are commercialized, beauty is naturally a commodity, and a high-end commodity, a young girl who uses beauty to make appalling deals.

Although he later advocated the method of naturalistic creation, his creative practice shows that he is loyal to the reality.
