摘 要
劉姥姥是《紅樓夢》中1個小人物，她是曹雪芹從鄉下選上的1位貧窮的老太婆，她來賈府是為碰碰運氣，討點油水，賈府人覺得劉姥姥粗俗、可笑、無知，是來討錢的`，帶有鄉下人的野趣，都拿她取樂，她給別人的這些印象是因為她穿梭於巨大貧富差距之中，沒有別的選擇，生活使她扮演這樣的角色，她的表演真是滑稽可笑，但又是可悲的，是所有貧苦農民的悲劇，她只有這樣的作賤自己才能得到點恩惠，維持他們艱難的度日，但劉姥姥能正視自己的身份地位，並從自己的鄉土味中尋找歡笑，再通過她救巧兒的事實，不難看出，劉姥姥既聰慧又淳樸，既謹慎又幽默，既善良又精通人情世故，是1位積極向上樂觀的老人。她的出現使《紅樓夢》的現實意義更深刻了。

All that impressions she gave us just because she lived under such a huge differences between rich and poor, without other choice, life decided her action. Her action was ludicrous and laughable, also, pathetic. It was a tragedy of all the peasants. For liu, only through humiliating herself to seek advantage, so that could go on the hard ver, she faced her status squarely, and gained happiness from her own simple feature. Plus the process of resuing qiao jie, all the fact made a clever, cautious, humourous and kind grandmother, a good at social communications, active and optimistic grandmother. It was she who made the significance of reality in the red masion more profound.
