俗话说 ,“无巧不成书”。现实生活中的巧合总让人惊奇 ,而一旦出现在小说中 ,对巧合的过分依赖却往往令读者感到怀疑 :这是真的吗 ?《招牌》的巧合出现在结尾部分 :帕帕·敦特的儿子约翰想出的花店招牌的名字 ,居然与父亲最开始打出的一模一样———“本店出售美丽鲜艳的花”? As the saying goes, “There is no coincidence that a book cannot be made.” The coincidence in real life is always amazing, and once it appears in the novel, the excessive dependence on coincidence often makes the reader wonder: Is this true? The coincidence of the signboard appears at the end: Papa Dundee The name of the florist sign that his son John came up with was actually exactly the same as what his father had first played—“This shop sells beautiful and bright flowers”.
