AB - “Listen to me, respectable audience” is an expression commonly used by the storyteller of traditional fiction in vernacular. Often initiating a flashback, it calls for the reader’s attention to the following comments, explanation, etc, eases the reader’s minds in comprehending the discourse, and draws the reader into the semantic frame built up by the narrator, achieving a reception that is much desired. “Listen to me, respectable audience” (and its various variants) as a fixe phrase engaged by the narrator occurs at an immensely high frequency in Er Pai. Through investigating the concrete use of the phrase, this essay aims to expose the work’s particular narration strategy.
