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
去年年末买了两本英文回忆录，这是其中一本，另一本是郑念的life and death in shanghai,很凑巧的发现这两个人都是1915年1月出生，2009年11月逝世，都出生世家而在上世纪的30年代去英国接受教育，解放后都受到了冲击，文革中都坐过牢，郑念在文革中失去的唯一的女儿，杨先生的...
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 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...
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...
用户评价
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
评分向往先生早年的读书经历，这也是他后来人生的背景。
评分A glimse into a Chinese sholar's life-long journey, and a momentous ephemeron in China's history.
评分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
