第五节 写作技法2——伏笔照应
伏笔是作者对写作下文中出现的情节或事件,在上文预作提示或暗示,以求前后呼应或者达到出乎意料却又在情理之中的效果,其最显著的特征是有伏必应。同样,照应也是写作中的一种手法,指作品下文与上文相呼应,即“回应上文”。
好的伏笔与照应能起到暗示、点题等作用,使文理通顺,合情合理,往往能让人产生心灵共鸣或收获意外的阅读惊喜。
所以,在写作中,要先找到伏笔,才能着手处理其与照应的关系,进而完成读后续写。
一、寻找伏笔,为照应打下基础
(1)留意人物的语言、动作、神态、外貌和心理等细节描写,以细节描写为伏笔点。
(2)留意文中对续写部分有推动或暗示作用的特定情节或背景,以情节或背景为伏笔点。
(3)留意文中反复出现或重点描写的特定物品,以特定物品为伏笔点。
(4)留意续写部分的段首句,以续写段首句为伏笔点。
二、结合伏笔与照应,完成写作
(1)在阅读部分的人物细节描写中寻找伏笔,然后在续写中予以照应,合理运用符合语境的语言,将语言的输入和输出紧密结合,使文章的情感更加细腻丰富。
(2)以阅读部分特定的情节、背景或特定物品为伏笔,为下文的情节变化发展作埋伏,使续写不偏离主题,同时突出主要人物或事件,增加情节张力,使情节更具合理性。
(3)以续写部分段首句为伏笔点,在续写的结尾部分与之呼应,有助于故事情节在故事发展的高潮之后更意味深长,给读者留下更深的阅读感受。
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. My husband, Doug, had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling our house. The year before, Doug had lost his job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim. In despair, we had finally put our home on the market, and a real estate agent was due to show up later that day. Even worse, we would have to give up our two beloved Great Danes, Bambi and Brigitte, because we could no longer afford the cost of feeding them. The thought of losing our dogs and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and cover letters for Doug. Out of the corner of my eye I could see our thirteenmonthold son, Forrest, as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. I hadn't typed more than two sentences when our other dog, Bambi, began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I raced to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. Suddenly, I realized Forrest was nowhere to be seen. In a panic, I opened the door and ran outside. There I was surprised to see Brigitte, who was terrified of water, splashing around in the pool. Then to my horror, my eyes caught sight of Forrest
