芸芸众生

You speak out all our voices and break up the things that we want to gloss over.

芸芸众生的心声被彻底地说出，粉碎了我们心中那些想进行一定掩饰的东西。

The loftiest place is that seat of grace For which all worldlings try: But who would stand in hempen band Upon a scaffold high, And through a murderer's collar take His last look at the sky?

至高的地方是那赐福之位，芸芸众生都为此把心操碎可是谁会站在麻绳圈前，高度正好和绞刑架一般，钻进一个刽子手的圈里，夺取他最后看天的权利？

"It was," said he, the opinion of learned philosophers of our race, who lived and flourished long before my time, that this vast world, the Moulin Joly, could not itself subsist more than eighteen hours; and I think there was some foundation for that opinion, since, by the apparent motion of the great luminary that gives life to all nature, and which in my time has evidently declined considerably towards the ocean at the end of our earth, it must then finish its course, be extinguished in the waters that surround us, and leave the world in cold and darkness, necessarily producing universal death and destruction.

老蜉蝣说道：我们的哲人学者，在很久很久以前，以为我们这个宇宙，其寿命不会超过18小时的。我想这话不无道理，因为自然界芸芸众生，无不倚赖太阳为生，但是太阳正在自东往西地移动，就在我的这一生，很明显的太阳已经落得很低，快要沉到我们地球尽处的诲洋里去了。

在希腊人，"意志"要求在天才和艺术境界的美化作用中静观自己；芸芸众生为了颂扬自己，必须首先觉得是颂扬；他们必须在更高境界里再看见自己，而无须这完美的静观世界来督促或责备。

A sense of unrelieved estrangement separates the artist from the quotidian world recorded in the pictures.

一种内涵的陌生感把艺术家与画面上的芸芸众生分割开了。

Chapter 2 centres around the spiritual contents of her works. It penetrates through the skin to their core, that is, the tragic sense. Her works take the most ordinary people as characters. Unexpectable elements befall on these people, change their fate considerably. The helplessness of being fooled by destiny overshadows most of her works, leaving readers sign in vain. Then, her portrayal of characters bears a tinge of rootlessness, unsteadiness loneliness, filling the works with deep pensive mood. And finally, she exposes the ugliness of man from this covering of brilliance. Man dares not face his true being. What he shows and sees of himself tends to be his bright side. But his ugly side steels out, which gives himself a deadly blow.

第二章围绕作品的精神内蕴展开论述，侧重于由表及里的层层挖掘，悲剧意识构成王安忆作品精神内蕴的核心，其作品多写芸芸众生，在展现这些人的人生际遇时，难以预料的偶然因素总是改变着他们的命运，宿命感使作品笼罩在虚无的阴影之中，令人怅然；其次作家在写人物时，那种无根的漂泊感、孤独感，使作品有着深深的悲凉意蕴；再次就是对隐藏在绚烂表象之下的人的丑陋本质的发现，人总是无法面对自己真实的存在，看到的或表现出的总是冠冕堂皇的一面，但是那丑陋的一面总会在不经意中呈现出来，给人以毁灭的打击。
