通行本人民文学出版社《红楼梦》第28回有“龟大何首乌”句,其中“龟”是否与“大何首乌”连读,向来多歧。近来周汝昌、刘心武两位先生认为通行断法不当,分别提出新标点和确认了一种标点。本文从语言、语境、何首乌名物以及版本比较等角度对此问题进行了考察,认为通行本断法不误;周、刘两位先生的句读不妥,所据亦不充分。 The twenty-first back of the “Dream of Red Mansions”, which is popular with the People’s Literature Publishing House, has a sentence of “Turtle with a large head Polygonum”, in which “Turtle” is always read with the same meaning. Recently, Zhou Ruchang, Liu Xinwu two gentlemen that improper access ruled, respectively, proposed a new punctuation and confirmed a punctuation. This article examines this question from the perspectives of language, context, Polygonum multiflorum and comparison of versions. It is believed that the prevalence of this method is correct; the reading of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liu’s sentences is inadequate and insufficiently substantiated.
