摘　　要：“驱睡魔”也作“祛睡魔”“却睡魔”“遣睡魔”等,本源自佛教,后被广泛用于古代小说序跋等评说领域,指小说具有驱遣困睡、提神解困等功效。“驱睡魔”主要立足于小说的消闲娱乐功用,针对小说固有的言辞易晓、善用科诨、内容新奇等特性而发,突出了小说“不经”而可读的审美属性。在小说批评中,“驱睡魔”还往往关系到内在文法与外部版式因素,不少批评者以“驱睡魔”评价小说叙事、写人、结构,乃至以是否“驱睡魔”作为排版优劣的标准,因而我们亦可考量这一术语的广告属性。“Exorcising Sleep”,which originated from Buddhism,was frequently used in the prefaces of ancient Chinese novels in the Ming and Qing dynasties,revealing that novels could drive readers’sleepiness and make them refreshed.The term“Exorcising Sleep”is based on leisure and entertainment functions of novels and reflects its features,including being transpicuous in writing with many funny plots and full of novelty,which highlights its unserious but aesthetic characteristics.In addition,“Exorcising Sleep”is also associated with the literary regulations and formats,so that critics usually used it to evaluate the narrative nature,depiction of the characters,structure and even format levels of a novel,from which its advertising attributes need to be taken into consideration as well.
