I write and write② 倪匡 677Words 2023-02-05
Speaking of local literature in Hong Kong, a question comes to mind.Also in Taiwan, local literature encountered the same problem: how to properly deal with the use of dialects.Taiwan's native writers use a lot of dialects in their texts, especially in dialogues, so that those who don't understand Hokkien are stunned and don't know what to say. For example, when a Sichuanese read "Shanghai Flower", they don't know what to say and don't understand at all. When Lin Yin writes about the local area, he adopts the method of using less dialects.Of course, there will be no difficulty in reading.

Using dialects in works, if used well, can make the dialects flexible, changeable, lively and interesting. The disadvantage is that those who don't know the dialects will not understand. In Hong Kong, the advantage is that everyone speaks Cantonese, but in some cases, Cantonese is converted to Mandarin for some reason.A few days ago, there was a conversation on the street, which was conducted in Cantonese. After thinking about it again and again, I felt that it was impossible to express the place where the ghost was born in other languages. There is no need to investigate the identities of the interlocutors A and B, and the dialogue is all in quotation marks.

Did you see it?I've seen it, so I can lose it!point?strength!Listen to Zhong Youyou!Sell ​​big bags, benefit neighbors.I heard from the above that the disc was released, so there is nothing to lose.Break the law!If there is a bank policy, there will be someone to do it!Talk when you talk, there are gains and losses, stay for me!The envoy Zhong said, I will give you in advance! The two hemp shakers smiled sinisterly and waved goodbye. If this kind of everyday dialect is used in literary works, will it be classified as indecent?Indecent, some teenagers feel strange: why Mr. Liang and Ms. Tang's goblin fights are so publicized to attract people to watch, and they can win awards all over the world, while Chen XX and Zhong XX's are indecent?

To be seen by others is to be victimized?After thinking for a long time, the answer I came up with was: Liang and Tang received money (remuneration), while XX was seen for nothing, so they were victims. I don't know if such an answer is correct or not, but I hope that the moral Taliban like XX Society will give me some advice, it's too late! (There are a lot of XX, and the author is self-disciplined, not involved in anything else.)
