肇庆籍作家覃志端的长篇小说《宝砚庄》大量运用方言俗语,方言成为小说叙事语言的有机组成部分,以方言建构了一个充满独特地域文化色彩的民间世界,通过方言凸显人物形神,增进人物形象的生动性。作者显然在努力地探索小说本土化叙事的可能性,这种艺术追求寄托着作者试图保存、挽留乡间文化传统的努力。 Zhao Yinji’s writer Qin Zhiduan’s novel “Bao Yan Zhuang” makes extensive use of dialect and colloquialisms. Dialect becomes an integral part of the narrative language of the novel. A dialect is used to construct a folk world full of unique geographical and cultural features. Vivid character images. Obviously, the author’s efforts in exploring the possibility of local narration in novels are the artistic pursuit of the author’s efforts to preserve and retain the tradition of rural culture.
