  2. 《台北人》中的都市回忆 人物大部分命运凄凉 但：这的的确确就是台湾社会所谓的上层人士 反而会让人误以为他们是社会底层人士 反衬出即使是上层人士的生活也不尽人意 如： 歌女长期与社会名流混迹 遗孀拥有将军夫人头衔 副官国民党普通将领 5090309068 陈博

  3. 《台北人》中的都市回忆 对比： 钱夫人嫁给上层人士（悲惨） 金大班准备嫁给上层人士（未知） 尹雪艳不嫁给上层人士（幸福） 暗喻： 上层社会已经只剩一层虚壳 当下的状况还能留住民国时代 繁荣的缩影，但尹雪艳周围人的结 局暗示民国政府繁荣背后的潜在危 机。 5090309068 陈博

  4. 《台北人》中的都市回忆 特点： 只有以白先勇这种上层人士的身份写出来的上层人士的生活才最具可信度。 士兵是民国政府反攻大陆的仰仗，而 士兵、副官生活凄凉，舞女的繁华仍在。 说明：退守台湾只是保存下这个苟 延残喘的政权，却不再具有反攻大 陆的想法。 说明退守台湾并不是大家的希望。反映出对大陆本该正常生活的怀念。 5090309068 陈博
