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

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□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...
评分杨宪益老先生的自传。 我以为他只是个翻译家，初意只是想看看翻译家的人生。 但他生于1915年，天津中国银行行长的儿子，真是饱读诗书，留学牛津，娶了外国女子为妻。 抗日战争时期回国，辗转多地，经历新中国成立、wg、改革开放，个人的经历，又如何只能是两耳不闻窗外事。 杨...
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...
