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
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...
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 评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...
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...
用户评价
1.本以为杨老是贫苦好学留学生，原来各种有钱各种会享受生活也各种叛逆啊。 2.看到初到伦敦时熟悉的地名:Russel Square, Tottenham court, Gower St还有Royal hotel,正是当下自己生活的地方。 3 好多地方提到和某人一别后就再也没见了/不知道是否还在世，很是唏嘘。 4 感谢互联网，感谢Wiki，查了里面的一些人，如Sir Cecil Beaton, John Blofeld, Henry Mcaleavy, Adrian Conway Evans 5 SOAS两次出现 6 自传最先是1990年写的，然后英译意大利语出版。1999年加的postscript，结尾说到记忆力下降，然后最后一句是 I am eighty-five this year.
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
