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.
本来是冲着杨先生的古希腊文、拉丁文的学识好奇读这本书的,但读过之后,印象最深的,反不是那些印欧语的曲折变化(事实上杨先生对此也没有多说,学英语等外语在杨先生好像很自然就学会了,这大概是杨先生的天资),而是杨宪益与戴乃迭的爱情。 杨宪益,1915年出生于天津的...
評分看过之后才明白在中国太多时候是时机决定了眼界,政治决定了人生。年轻的富家子弟所谓的知识分子心怀祖国劳苦大众,受够了国民党的腐败,为了更好的未来他们选择了共产主义,然而社会主义或者共产主义快要到来的时候他们发现时代变化了;他们的热血理想或许曾经勾勒着时代...
評分这本书是杨先生的自传,原著以英文写作,本书是中文翻译。“漏船载酒”一语,来自鲁迅的《自嘲》“破帽遮颜过闹市,漏船载酒泛中流”,其用心,是希望传递苦中作乐的态度。其意大利文译本的书名,从另一个侧面体现了杨先生的一生:《从富家少爷到党员同志》。 杨先生可称得上“...
評分没有读过杨先生的译作,就这本自传而言,英语文风平实。或许每一位经历过那段跌宕起伏的历史的中国知识分子都最终归于平静,但杨先生无疑更是一位本质上康乐的人。一个人的出身和成长决定了他的心性,而杨先生应该是那种很有优越感(中性,无褒贬)的人,这令他无论处于何种环...
評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...
