我作品能够在市场上流行,实际上等于买 椟还珠,你们能欣赏我故事的清新,照例那作 品背后蕴藏的热情却忽略了,你们能欣赏我文 字的朴实,照例那作品背后隐伏的悲痛也忽略 了。 ——沈从文 《边城》被许多读者看作是“一部证明人性皆 善的著作。”“边城”这个词在许多读者心中,已 经凝定为“湘西人性美”的文化概念,然而深入考 察我们就会发现:这种说法仅仅看到了作品中美丽 的光环,而人物的非正常死亡、离家出走、爱情破 灭等故事的阴影却被人们所“忽略”。这也许就是 作者所说的“买椟还珠”。 My work can be popular on the market, in fact, equal to buy a magnificent glass, you can enjoy the freshness of my story, as usual, the enthusiasm behind the piece of work is neglected, you can appreciate the simplicity of my writing, Also overlooked. - Shen Congwen’s “Border Town” is seen by many readers as “a work that proves good in all human beings.” The word “border town” has, in the hearts of many readers, established itself as a cultural concept of “beauty of humanity in western Hunan Province,” however, We can see that this kind of view only saw the beautiful aura in the works, but the characters such as the abnormal death, the runaway from home, the shattering of love and other stories have been “neglected” by people. This may be what the author calls “buy a pearl.”
