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.
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.
《漏船载酒忆当年》是杨宪益的自传。此书最早是用英文写就的,后来转译成了中文,十几年前在大陆出了“洁版”。虽然删节不少,但读起来仍很流畅,有一种平常如话,娓娓道来的美。不知道是杨的文风向来如此,还是因为年纪的缘故:此书落笔于1990年2月,其时杨宪益已经77岁了。 ...
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...
评分这一版的《杨宪益自传》是在杨先生英文自传《white tiger》中译本《漏船载酒忆当年》的基础上订正并再版发行的,附录部分收入了部分中文短文,内容多是追忆友人以及谈文学翻译。因原作是英文,读来颇有西式文体的风格,简短直白,坦率幽默的天性在其中处处可见。 去...

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...
向往先生早年的读书经历,这也是他后来人生的背景。
评分现在才看,我真对不起辛苦帮我带书的@花車盡 姑娘。但是真挺好看啊~
评分Excellent!
评分搜到的英文版也被美图秀秀了 纯叙事 而且越是也种中英文大家的英文越是接地气 读起来溜到不行
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
