聂华苓的这一短篇力作表现的是从大陆流落到台湾的小市民的理想失落和人生的随俗 ,抒发了作者对人生的感伤和无限飘泊的乡愁。由于构思巧妙并成功地运用了西方的意识流、象征手法和中国传统的白描手法 ,使作品结构呈现出短小精悍、耐人寻味的特点 ;而虚实手法的运用 ,则强化了往昔与今朝、理想与现实的对比 ,从而更好地凸现了小说的主题。 This short masterpiece by Nie Hualing shows the ideal loss of the ordinary citizens who have fallen from the mainland to Taiwan and the loss of life. It expresses the author’s sentiment about life and the nostalgia of infinite wandering. The clever and successful use of the Western concept of flow of consciousness, symbolism and traditional Chinese white-ink techniques make the structure of the work presented a short and thought-provoking feature. The use of the actual and the actual methods reinforces the past and present, the ideal and the reality Contrast, so as to better highlight the theme of the novel.
