論楊絳散文中的小人物書寫－兼論與琦君之不同
A Study of the Small Potatoes in Yang, Jiang's Prose--Comparison with Chi-Chun's Work
摘要
透過比較，本文指出，和同樣用心寫過文章描摹家中僕役的琦君不同，楊絳散文中的傭人、畸零人與她之間的關係，不存在單向的、大對小的教導，雙方之間少有溫情式的語言，對話缺乏任何性靈或審美上的深度，但取而代之的是更平等的、實際的柴米油鹽等形而下的生活與人生經驗的交流。細究楊絳筆下的這些小人物，都具有主動傾訴生命悲喜，突出自己主體性；多經現實生活粗礪，飽嚐歲月風霜的特性。在描述他們的故事時，楊絳不光寫其美善的一面，而是長短優劣一併具陳，多面向表現人物氣質。是以，讀者可以在她的散文裡看見許多赤裸裸的匱乏、醜陋、粗鄙、困頓。如果說，琦君的小人物散文以其美善著稱，那麼，不避諱小人物的種種不堪，恰恰是楊絳散文的珍貴之處。
並列摘要
This paper discusses the unusual interactions between Yang, Jiang with servants by comparing her essay with Chi-Chun who also portrayed servants in her works. Instead of the typical dominance of a master over domestic servants, their relationship is more mutual and interactive. Though their conversation seems lukewarm and usually lacks spiritual and aesthetic inspiration, it is instead genius communication about ordinary every day and life experience. Many characters in Yang, Jiang's essay struggle with life but reflect extrovert personalities--usually willing to talk about the difficulties of life. Yang, Jiang not only depicts the endeavor but also the strife among them. Her work exhibits multidimensional features of ordinary people by vividly depicting the poverty, viciousness, rudeness, and hardship. In contrast to Chi-Chun's work that usually describes the kind hearts of human being, these unpleasant narratives about life reveal the uniqueness of Yang Jiang's prose.
