当人们看了一些公式化的文艺作品之后,总是这样说:“看了前面就知道后面,没意思。”这种抱怨是有道理的。因为这确实是公式化作品的一个通病。但如果以为人们不愿看公式化的作品的原因,仅仅是因为预先能料到结局,那也是没有接触到问题的实质。因为我们在欣赏某些优秀的作品时,它的结局或某些情节我们也可能早就知道或猜到的。 When people look at some of the formalized works of art and literature, they always say: “I feel sorry when I read it in front of me.” Such complaints make sense. Because this is indeed a common problem in formulaic works. However, if we think that people do not want to see the formalized works simply because they can anticipate the outcome in advance, then there is no contact with the essence of the problem. Because we appreciate some good works, its outcome or certain circumstances we may have known or guessed.
