沈从文先生写于1934年的中篇小说《边城》,是一部充溢着浓浓湘西乡土味、乡土情的佳作。作者以清丽的笔触,描写了撑渡船的老人与他的孙女翠翠相依为命的纯朴生活,以及翠翠与船总的两个儿子的爱情悲剧。小说达到了乡情风俗、人物命运、人物形象三者完美和谐、浑然一体的境界。作品没有惊心动魄的社会巨变和激烈复杂的矛盾冲突,但风格深远自然、清灵纯朴、和谐隽永,如一幅美丽的乡村图画,让读者低徊沉醉,流连忘返。 Mr. Shen Congwen’s novella “Border Town”, which was written in 1934, is a masterpiece full of native Xiangxi flavor and local flavor. The author with elegant brush strokes, portrays the elderly and his granddaughter Cuicui described the simple life, as well as Tracy and the ship’s two sons love tragedy. The novel achieves the perfect harmony and unity of nostalgia, fate and character. There are no soul-stirring social changes and violent and complex conflicts. However, the style is far-reaching and natural. The Qing Dynasty is simple and the harmony is meaningful. For example, a beautiful village picture allows readers to wander indulgently and unforgettablely.
