林語堂英文作品集：浮生六記

基本介紹

內容簡介

《林語堂英文作品集:浮生六記》文字清新真率，無雕琢藻飾痕跡，是一部水平極高影響頗大的自傳體隨筆，在清代筆記體文學中占有相當重要的位置。該書的特點在於純潔率真，獨抒性靈，不拘格套，富有創造性。這種創造性，首先體現在其題材和描寫對象上。書中作者以深情直率的筆調敘述了夫妻閨房之樂，寫出了夫妻間至誠至愛的真情。在中國文學史上，描寫情愛的詩文很多，但大多或寫宮廷艷史，或寫權勢禮法淫威下的愛情悲劇，或寫風塵知己及少男少女之間的纏綿，很少涉及夫妻之情。別具慧眼的陳寅恪指出：“吾國文學，自來以禮法顧忌之故，不敢多言男女間關係，而於正式男女關係如夫婦者，尤少涉及。蓋閨房燕昵之情意，家庭迷鹽之瑣屑，大抵不列於篇章，惟以籠統之詞，概括言之而已。此後來沈三白《浮生六記》之《閨房記樂》，所以為例外創作。”林語堂先生將其譯為英文，收在作品集中。
《林語堂英文作品集》是林語堂用英文創作的一系列作品，曾經轟動歐美文壇，影響深遠，一直被視為闡述東方文化的權威著作。此外。本套圖書獨家原版引進，眾多著作以英文原貌首次登入國內；數十幅珍貴老照片真實回味過去的時光。重磅上市，值得珍藏！

I remember that when I was a child, I could state at the sun with wide, open eyes. I could see the tiniest objects, and loved to observe the fine grains and patterns of small things, from which I derived a romantic, unworldly pleasure. When mosquitoes were humming round summer, I transformed them in imagination into a company of storks dancing in the air. And when I regarded them that way, they were real stocks to me, flying by the hundreds and thousands, and I would look up at them until my neck was stiff. Again, I kept a few mosquitoes inside a white curtain and blew a puff of smoke round them, so that to me they become a company of white storks flying among the blue clouds, and their humming was to me the song of storks singing in high heaven, which delighted me intensely. Sometimes I would squat by a broken, earthen wall, or by a little bush on a raised flower-bed, with my eyes on the same level as the flower-bed itself, and there I would look and look, transforming in my mind the little plot of grass into a forest and the ants and insects into wild animals. The little elevations on the ground became hills, and the depressed areas became my valleys, and my spirit wandered in that world at leisure.
