具体描述
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.
作者简介
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.

读后感
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...
评分P41 我吃了很多高质量的牛奶和奶油，但这对提高我的法语水平帮助不大。 每个大学生都有一名个人，称作他的“侍从”。 大多数地方都悬挂着阿道夫·希特勒的画像。这种个人崇拜的现象给我留下强烈的印象。这是我初次见到一个活人被当做祖宗或神仙那样崇拜。 ……这是我第一次，...
评分□原业伟 法国哲学家雅克·德里达将翻译追溯到巴别塔，他认为当上帝变乱人类的语言的时候，已经产生了一个悖论，“把翻译这项工作强加给人类，同时又禁止人类翻译。”因此，翻译是必须的，但在绝对意义上又是不可能的。大规模的外籍汉译，创造出了现代的欧化汉语，因而简...
评分还是原版的书名比较贴切，中文译名太文艺了，不太适合这么现实的一部自传。说它现实是这简直是对一个文人政治觉悟活生生地剥露 p158 尽管我并不知道未来的共产党政府会是什么样。但是我在国名党政权统治下的亲见亲历已经是我对之深恶痛绝 p164 所谓政协，就相当于英国的上议院...
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...

这本书我在美亚订购的时候，标注是“Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order. ”点开“learn more”，“Amazon may be restricted from shipping to your country or location due to manufacturer restrictions or warranty issues.”
评分没有从书中得到特别的信息，倒是很惊讶作者年轻时在国外的富足生活。过了那样的生活再回国经历这一长串近代事件，确实能屈能伸。最后那段入了党又退党的有些意思。
评分补记 平装本 中文版删了很多 个别地方应该是老先生记忆错误
评分看的英文版，大师的语言那叫一个简洁！中学生都能读。杨先生的海外游学经历给人的感觉就是“有钱任性”。抗战时期回国以后的经历正如网友所说，那就是一部中国现代史了。
评分看过中文版，白虎星造命，很喜欢杨先生的写作风格，不急不躁
