妙龄女子公芳影对西方文化不了解,把平常的西方礼仪当成了男士示好的表现,因而对婚恋产生了误读。这种误读,既美丽又不乏苍凉。在欧风东渐初期,产生这种误读的其实远不止芳影一人。小说《吃茶》折射了由传统向现代转型期中国女性婚恋的普遍困境。 Young women Gong Fang Ying do not understand Western culture, the usual Western etiquette as a man shows good performance, and thus misinterpretation of marriage. This misreading, both beautiful and no lack of desolation. In the early days of the European style, this kind of misunderstanding was much more than that of one person. The novel “Eating Tea” reflects the general predicament of Chinese women’s love and marriage from the tradition to the modern transition period.
