Born in 1915 and educated in Oxford, Yang Xianyi is a world-renowned translator. He has translated, with his wife Gladys Yang, numerous Chinese classics such as A Dream of Red Mansions, The Scholars, Selected Works of Lu Xun, which are by now translations par excellence.
It all began with a dream. A young woman saw a white tiger leap into her lap. It was both auspicious and unlucky—her son, the fortune-teller said, would grow up with no brothers, and his father's health would be endangered by his birth. That son, however, would have a distinguished career, after going through many misfortunes and dangers.
The dream was prophetic. The child was his mother's only male child and his father died of illness when the boy was only five. He grew up during the wartime and period of political turmoil in China, passing through many troubles, and he has had a very distinguished career. He is Yang Xianyi, renowned scholar, translator and interpreter of Chinese and Western literature.
This delightful memoir of Yang Xianyi gives a candid and entertaining account of himself as a lighthearted and mischievous young man who immersed himself in the learning of European culture, ancient and modern, when he studied at Oxford in the 1930s. But it is also the illuminating self-portrait of a deeply patriotic intellectual living in a China under the throes of change, giving rare insight into the survival of a courageous, witty and principled individual during the harsh century of Chinese liberation.

评分在回忆结束之后,杨宪益将话题拉到了这一刻,他说:“有时我想写些什么,研究些问题,但我再也坐不下来干这些事了。”说不上是厌倦还是年龄问题,据说在戴乃迭过世后,杨宪益就不再做翻译或其他工作,整日里只是坐在沙发上,他拒绝电视,一方面可能是因为视力原因,一方面...
评分知道杨老是因为前阵子在看郑念的上海生死劫。然后在amazon上查书的时候看到同类型的书。于是才开始知道这位最伟大的翻译家的故事。特别是最后几个章节。。。当然,因为自己看英文书一直很慢,我先看了人民日报出版社的版本,然后又过了雷音版本最后几章。 很震惊这么伟大的翻译...
评分多年前看过一个关于变形金刚的评论:说像补天石那样喜爱摇滚的疯癫年轻人,最后成为沉稳的领袖,是人生最好的弧线。 杨宪益年轻特别是留学时候的疯癫与荒唐,就是那疯癫的部分。好像藏传佛教用犯规来让你知道界限在那里一样,那样的疯癫成为日后沉稳的强大基础。 他的留学生...
