(23)在奥斯汀的小说世界中,伊莎贝拉是幸福女人典型的真实性,有待商讨;我们的异议在于我们不相信在我们的世界里这是真的。如果这是本科幻小说,叙述者便可自由地规定这特殊世界里什么才算是幸福,正如叙述者可以规定伊莎贝拉是爱玛的姐姐,但在现实主义小说中,判断不享有和描述性陈述同样的规约性权威。我们可以说,叙述者“相信”这是幸福的模式但也许这不是,然而若说叙述者“相信”伊莎贝拉是爱玛的姐姐但也许这不是,则是没道理的(当然,除非叙述者是角色之一)。这两种陈述情况完全不同。叙述者投射的智慧效果依赖于这样一个事实:判断和评价当然不是真的,而是开放性的,有待他人评判。 (24)Dorrit Cohn, The Distinction of Fiction, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1999, pp. 21-29.
