语言大师老舍曾讲过一个耐人寻味的故事:唐代大文学家王勃写了两句最得意的话:“落霞与孤鹜齐飞,秋水共长天一色。”据传,后来他在水里淹死了,死后还念念不忘这两句,天天在水上闹鬼,反复吟哦这两句。后来有一个人从这里经过。听见了就说:“你这两句话还不算太好。要是将‘与’字和‘共’字删去,改成‘落霞孤鹜齐飞,秋水长天一色’,不是更挺拔更好吗?”据说,从此就不闹鬼了,鬼被说服了。 Language master Lao She once talked about an intriguing story: Wang Bo, a great writer of the Tang Dynasty, wrote two most complacent words: “Falling clouds fly together with solitary flock, Qiushui grows up for a long time.” According to legend, he was later flooded in water. He died, and he still remembered the two sentences after he died. He was haunted on the water every day and repeated these two sentences. Later, there was a man passing by. Hearing, he said: “You are not too good in these two sentences. If you delete the word ’and’ and ’together’, change it to ’Falling in the Clouds, Qiu Shui’s Sky and Clouds’, it’s not more straightforward. Is it better?” It is said that since then no haunting has occurred and ghosts have been convinced.
