老舍先生讲课老是板着面孔,不苟言笑,可出语风趣,惹人发笑。在讲到文艺作品要写出人物的典型性格时,他讲道:“要把人物性格描绘得一看就知道像谁,至少也得像他二哥。”同学们笑了。他仍冷着脸继续讲:“写典型嘛!就要多加材料,假若你要写一个爱穿马褂的人,不妨写他穿着两件马褂, Mr. Lao She’s lectures always kept his face open. They were not scornful but could be funny and amused. When talking about the typical character of a character in a literary and artistic work, he said: “If you want to depict a person’s personality, you must know who it is like. At least it must be like his brother.” The students laughed. He still said with a cold face and continued: “If you write typical examples, you must add more materials. If you want to write a man who loves to wear a stable, you may wish to write that he is wearing two pieces of stables.
