內(nèi)容概要

  林語堂的作品如同他的一生,孜孜地向世界解說中國,向祖國表達赤忱。作為用英語創(chuàng)作的一位中國作家,他向西方介紹中國文化的系列作品影響深遠,被視作闡述東方思想的重要著述。此次結集的“林語堂英文作品集”,除保留外研社曾出版的《吾國與吾民》、《生活的藝術》、《浮生六記》和《京華煙云》等代表作品外,還收錄了《風聲鶴唳》、《老子的智慧》和《武則天傳》等十余部頗具影響的原版著作。如此規(guī)模的林語堂英文作品在國內(nèi)出版尚屬首次,包括其中幾種是首次以英文原貌在國內(nèi)面世,極富收藏價值。此外,為了更好地介紹和呈現(xiàn)林語堂及其作品,還從臺北林語堂故居和漳州林語堂紀念館等地采集珍貴圖片,如林語堂生平不同時期的獨照、與親友的合影、部分手稿和初版封面的存照等,以饗讀者。

章節(jié)摘錄

The Dictionary, which Father called the crowning achievement of hiscareer, was published in October 1972 with great fanfare. It was the firstChinese-English dictionary ever compiled by a Chinese scholar. The New TorkTimes hailed it as "a milestone in communication between the world's largestlinguistic groups."On his 8oth birthday, October 10, 1975, friends in Hong Kong organizeda big celebration. An even bigger celebration was organized in Taipei. WhenI met my parents at the Hong Kong airport upon their return, Father's eyesshone with gladness. His cup was full. The only honor that he wanted and hadnot received was the Nobel Prize. But he was his philosophical self about it. "Letus be reasonable," he once said. "We must have an attitude of expecting neithertoo much nor too little from life."Father passed away in Hong Kong on March 26 the following year. Amongthe many tributes he received was one by the Reader's Digest's founder, DeWittWallace. Wallace published a memorial booklet of Father's writing that hadappeared over the years in the magazine. It was dedicated to the memory of "anevocative spirit of vast range and accomplishment——this man for all cultureswho so enriched our lives. He considered his dictionary to be the 'crown' of hiscareer. To anyone who reads his works, it will be apparent that Lin Yutang'scrown had many jewels in it."The United Daily News of Taiwan compared Father's achievements inintroducing Chinese culture to the West with that of Jesuit missionary MatteoRicci. In an editorial, the China Times of Taiwan said, "Dr. Lin is the scholarand writer who possibly made the greatest contribution in promoting Chineseculture internationally in the recent 100 years. For some in the West whowere not well-informed, they heard about Lin Yutang before they heard aboutChina, and heard about China before they heard about the glory of Chinesecivilization."

  •     miller的書評已經(jīng)將這本書概括得很好了。
      這是一本由林語堂編著、部分由其直接翻譯或修改的集本,有關于中國的哲學、文化及道德。
      所以這裡只是我個人的感受。
      這個名字很好聽,也很有東方味,智慧一詞被用來形容文化最恰當不過。林語堂也正是最適宜介紹中國智慧的文人之一,他通曉中西文化、語言功力深厚,而其本身也是一個極其有中國傳統(tǒng)智慧的學者,或者說有自己一套哲學、貼近自然人性的普通人。
      當然,中國的智慧最好應該用中文才可表達的淋漓盡致,而且那些古文經(jīng)典一旦經(jīng)過翻譯便會大失原意,但是編輯版本有如下的好處。
      她代表了作者對於原作的理解,是一個更人性化、更性情的翻譯詮釋,如果你有自己欣賞並脾性相符的作者時,你可以嘗試讀他的編輯本,便會對那些經(jīng)典原作產(chǎn)生更獨到、更貼切、更有啓發(fā)的見解。
      所以對於我,這本書就是林語堂對於中國智慧的理解。我相信,而且也得到了證實,在閲讀這本書時,我得到了很多閲讀原文無從獲得的感悟。
      我喜愛道教的浪漫不可知,我也喜愛儒家的認真積極,我被墨子的兼愛所吸引,我也無法割捨對書中寓言故事的情節(jié),這些都是與我成長的環(huán)境所息息相關的。已然,這些想法已經(jīng)融入我的習慣中,這更是一個發(fā)現(xiàn)自我的過程。
      林語堂的語言是簡潔、真摯並美麗的。
      
      
  •     這本書讓讀者了解中國的文化以及中國人的思想,包括哲學,故事,詩歌,諺語。
      
      書的前幾章著重介紹中國哲學:老子的道德經(jīng),莊子的南華經(jīng),上古之書(書經(jīng)/尚書),孟子,墨子,孔子以及子思的中庸思想。
      
      讀書的確能引發(fā)人思考。比如人們常說“孔孟之道”,其實孔子和孟子的思想還是有很大區(qū)別的。孔子主張遵循統(tǒng)治者的旨意,而孟子認為“民貴君輕”??峙逻@是歷代統(tǒng)治者主張儒家學說,獨尊儒術的一個重要原因吧。
      
      另外,書中談論墨子時強調(diào)了“兼愛,非攻“思想。墨子的“兼愛”就是universal love,普世的愛,完全的博愛。"It is said that some missionaries are scared, instead of feeling encouraged, to find that the doctrines of the love of God and universal love were already known to the Chinese. It is almost as disheartening as reaching the South Pole to find that someone has already been there before." 后面一個比喻十分形象生動,傳教士們恐怕再也沒有想到他們滿口的普世之愛早已在中國被提出。此外,墨子主張節(jié)葬,這與儒家思想中厚葬、守喪三年的思想也大相徑庭。
      
      書中的莊子學說也博大精深,值得細細體會。讀到《逍遙游》時又想到了大學語文上課時的情景==
      
      書的第二部分介紹了中國的詩詞歌賦,包括屈原的《離騷》,李白的詩等等。由于不是非常感興趣,所以讀的不仔細。
      
      第三部分是一些中國故事以及沈復的《浮生六記》。故事主要是一些奇談異錄,包括了中國古代灰姑娘的故事--葉限。中國也有灰姑娘?聞所未聞。直到大三時英文寫作課才知道有這么一回事。那時用了一學期來研究中國的灰姑娘和西方灰姑娘。最后的論文還被外教稱贊了一番,好不得意。
      
      沈復的《浮生六記》介紹了普通中國人的生活,林語堂稱沈復的夫人蕓是”中國文學上一個最可愛的女人“。
      
      最后一部分是"Chinese wit and wisdom",包括寓言故事,如愚公移山,杞人憂天,狐假虎威,鄭人買履,鷸蚌相爭等等,讓我回想起小時候家人給我講故事的情景,不甚美好。
      
      之后是鄭板橋家書。林語堂稱家書乃是中國文化的一部分。之所以選鄭板橋的家書而不是曾國藩的是因為鄭的家書少一些,但兩者所反映出的spirit是一樣的。受曾國藩的影響,蔣介石也常寫家書。
      
      之后是魯迅的語錄。魯迅在當時是不折不扣的憤青,林語堂稱魯迅不屑中國文化,主張不讀古書,并且認為應當廢除漢字,改用羅馬拼音,讓年輕人唾棄孔子以及關羽,轉而敬拜達爾文以及易卜生。這些觀點雖然有些激進幼稚,但當時的中國的確需要這樣一個人來喚醒年輕人,之后中國也虛心學習西方的科學技術,不斷壯大起來。
      
      書的最后提供了一些諺語、歇后語。這部分讀的也不仔細。
      
      這本書還能讓讀者了解一些中國特色的詞在英文中對應的說法。僅舉一例:在翻譯孟子的“天時不如地利,地利不如人和”時,Legge翻譯成"opportunities of time (vouch safety) heaven are not equal to advantages of situation (afforded by) the earth, and advantages of situation (afforded by) the earth are not equal to (the union arising from) the accord of men."林語堂認為這樣翻譯太字面了,而原文只有區(qū)區(qū)十二個字。他是這么翻的"weather is less important than terrain, and terrain is less important than the people's unity." 回頭我查了一下weather這個詞,在韋氏詞典中真的有這種意思: "state or vicissitude of life or fortune."
      
      林語堂是貫通中西的文人,讀他的書的確能夠更好的了解中國的文化,尤其是對于不喜歡讀文言文但英文還不差的人來說。
