'If children are to become readers for life, they must first love stories' 十岁以后,十五岁以前应该被称为什么时期呢?大少年期? 100 books every child should read - Part 3: Early teens Call of the Wild, by Jack London Jack London introduced some dark themes into this story of Buck, a sled dog in the Yukon who rediscovers his wild nature when put to the test. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll Never was mathematical and philosophical playfulness given such entertaining shape. Tenniel's line-drawings crown these classics. 爱丽丝漫游仙境的系列。 The Outsiders, by SE Hinton This powerful novel about school gangs was published when SE Hinton was just 18. The Greasers and the Socs clash in typical teenage fashion - but then someone dies. 作者当时只有18岁。牛。 I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith Smith is better known for A Hundred and One Dalmatians, but although this, her first novel, is quieter, it shines brighter. Narrated in diary form by 17-year-old Cassandra, it documents the lives of her eccentric family. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, by Joan Aiken 1832, and wolves have over-run a fictional kingdom of England. Orphans Sylvia and Bonnie fall into the hands of an evil Miss Slycarp and must use all their wits to escape. A mercilessly shadowy thriller. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee A classic story of America's Deep South. Scout and Jem see their father, Atticus, defend Tom Robinson - an innocent black man - from the charge of rape. Atticus is inspiring without being priggish. Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens The rousing story of Pip's rise, fall and rise pips Oliver Twist as the best book with which to start reading Dickens, purely on account of his description of being in love. 狄更斯的作品里我最喜欢〈双城记〉。 The Owl Service, by Alan Garner Welsh myths, a portrait hidden behind a plaster skim, adolescent yearnings…read this extraordinary confection at the right age and it will never leave you. 威尔士人,古老的凯尔特人的后裔。 The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Arthur Conan Doyle Holmes in fine Gothic form: rackety aristocrats, the Grimpen Mire, and a glow-in-the-dark hellhound conspire to chill the blood and thrill the deductive organs. 柯南道尔和福尔摩斯,赫,吓人。 Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte A novel that embeds itself in the memory, and set feminism back 150 years. The human genome has yet to produce a teenage girl who isn't a sucker for Heathcliff. The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank On June 12, 1942, Annelies Marie Frank started writing a diary. It was her 13th birthday. She died three years later in Belsen. An ordinary teenage life, made poignant by the knowledge of how it ended. 〈安妮日记〉我初三时看的第一本英文小说。。。。 Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry, by Mildred D Taylor A tale of oppression in the American South, this tells the story of the Logans, a black family living in rural Mississippi during the 1930s. A Kestrel for a Knave, by Barry Hines Filmed by Ken Loach as Kes, this snapshot of deprivation in 1960s Yorkshire describes a troubled boy's relationship with his pet kestrel. Bittersweet and grimly artful. The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkien A wonderful curtain-raiser for The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit finds Tolkein in a playful mood. The adventures of Bilbo Baggins, while never less than exciting, are spiked with gentle humour. 〈魔戒〉指环王的作者托尔金的另一部经典之作。目前正由电影魔戒的导演彼得杰克森在故乡新西兰拍摄。 War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo Michael Morpurgo's moving story plunges into the horror of the First World War by following the story of Joey, a cavalry officer's horse on the Western Front. 晕死,难怪看电影别人都感动地一塌糊涂,只我觉得还好。原来早就有小说在此。到底是文化不同,背景不同。 Beowulf, by Michael Morpurgo Beowulf is a great story: scary monsters, fearsome matriarchs, boasting, singing, feasting, fighting and booty. Michael Morpurgo's rendition brings it to a new generation. 这个电影俺也看过。。。 King Solomon's Mines, by H Rider Haggard Hunter Allan Quatermain searches the African jungle. Its attitudes might be outdated but this is still terrifically exciting. Kim, by Rudyard Kiplin g Kimball O'Hara, the orphaned son of an Irish soldier, wanders Lahore cadging, playing and living a carefree life - until he's forced into espionage. The Road of Bones, by Anne Fine Anne Fine weaves a disturbing parable of life in a totalitarian state, as young Yuri learns the cost of speaking the truth. Frenchman's Creek, by Daphne Du Maurier A swashbuckling love affair between a lady and a pirate on the Cornish coast. Romantic adventure at its overblown best. Treasure Island, by RL Stevenson The riddles of Stevenson's tale endure. Why does X mark the spot? What is it with parrots? And why did Pugh go blind? 同学们,〈金银岛〉啊。。。。 Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott The tale of four sisters - Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy - growing up in the US Civil War, this is a charming and insightful story of childhood and family. 〈小妇人〉,伊丽莎白泰勒也演过呀。。。。 Anne of Green Gables, by L M Montgomery Spirited ginger-nut, adopted in error for a boy, comes of age on a remote island off the Canadian coast. Junk, by Melvin Burgess Burgess's refusal to patronise teenagers has earned much praise. This tough, clear-eyed story of heroin addiction is among his best. Cider With Rosie, by Laurie Lee A lyrical description of a childhood spent in rural bliss in the Cotswolds. This is a homage to England as it was, filled with light, joy, and fun. The Go-Between by LP Hartley More than a famous first line. When 60-year-old Leo Colston looks back on his youth in 1900, the nostalgia is stifling. But as the story develops, it takes a darker turn. The Rattle Bag, ed by Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes This rich anthology of poetry - whose name aptly describes the higgledy-piggledy mix of glories within - is something no teen's bookshelf should lack. 爱诗吗?这是一本诗歌精选集。值得推荐。 The Song of Hiawatha, by H W Longfellow Just say something in this rhythm. It will sound like Hiawatha. Read it to your horrid children. Hear them chant the verses loudly. On it goes ad infinitum. Heaven help the hapless parent. Watership Down, by Richard Adams Fiver and his brother Hazel know that something terrible will happen to the warren, and set off for safety. Their story has implications beyond the usual concerns of rabbits. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain Less ambitious than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but just as exciting. The language is hard to begin with but the hero is one of the most endearing in literature. True Grit, by Charles Portis Mattie Ross - spirited, witty, probably beautiful - is out to avenge her "father's blood" in this slim Western. It should be given to every girl turning 16. Holes, by Louis Sachar Sentenced to dig holes in the desert for stealing trainers, the wrongly convicted Stanley discovers that the holes are not so pointless as at first thought. Wit dry as a salt flat. Lord of the Flies, by William Golding When a gang of boys are marooned on an island they try to set up a community based on cooperation. Some hope. My Family and Other Animals, by Gerald Durrell When the Durrell family takes a villa in Corfu one summer they do not imagine staying five years, but so they do. In that time Gerald, a boy of 10, discovers the joys of the local flora and fauna, and describes it with a delightful wit. Coraline, by Neil Gaiman This spooky story won't soon be forgotten. Coraline is a girl who finds her way down a corridor to a flat just like her own - but slightly different. And where her doting "other mother" has buttons for eyes… Carrie's War, by Nina Bawden Carrie and her brother are wartime evacuees billeted on a bullying Welsh grocer. A wonderfully crafted novel full of memorable characters. The Story of Tracy Beaker, by Jacqueline Wilson A slice of life in a children's home narrated by 10-year-old Tracy, through whose eyes we confront tough dilemmas. Required reading. The Lantern Bearers, by Rosemary Sutcliffe As the Roman army prepares to leave for home, Aquila is forced to desert to protect his family. 简直是。

'If children are to become readers for life, they must first love stories' 再来看五六岁到十岁左右可以借鉴来读的。有些故事甚至有几十年上百年的历史了。 Part 2: Middle years Stig of the Dump, by Clive King When Barney falls down a dump the last thing he expects is to meet a cave boy. Stig was an eco-warrior before the term was invented. Sprightly, comic, classic. Ballet Shoes, by Noel Streatfeild Adopted sisters Posy, Pauline and Petrova Fossil train as a dancer, an actor and an aeroplane pilot. A bally treat. Howl's Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones The Witch of Waste puts Sophie under a spell. To break it, she must brave the castle of the Wizard Howl. Imaginative and terribly funny. Just So Stories, by Rudyard Kipling Learn how the leopard got his spots and the camel his hump. And remember "The Elephant's Child" - whose "satiable suriosity" turns his "bulgy nose" into a trunk? The Borrowers, by Mary Norton First published in 1953, this remains a deserved favourite. The Clock family live beneath a floorboard, making do with what "human beans" drop, until one day one of them allows herself to be seen… Struwwelpeter, by Heinrich Hoffman These pungent 1840 morality tales are not to be taken literally: in one, a boy gets his thumbs chopped off. The Magic Faraway Tree, by Enid Blyton Jo, Bessie and Fanny climb to the top of a magical tree, above which are endlessly circulating worlds: the Land of Birthdays, or, more unluckily, of Dame Slap. Danny, the Champion of the World, by Roald Dahl Danny and his hard-up father bond over poaching pheasants from nasty Mr Hazell's land - before moral dues are paid. George's Marvellous Medicine, by Roald Dahl To cure his grumpy grandmother, George Kranky concocts a medicine from shaving foam, sheep dip, engine oil and brown paint. Granny grows huge. The ending is dark even for Dahl. Underwater Adventure, by Willard Price Willard Price invented zoologist brothers Hal and Roger Hunt to get children interested in nature. Underwater Adventure takes them into shark-infested seas. Some sharks are human. Tintin in Tibet, by Hergé After Tintin reads of a plane crash in the Himalayas, he dreams his friend Chang has survived. Uniquely, there are no villains - just a tender yeti and acres of snow. 《丁丁历险记》,又一个国内孩子应该会知道的。 The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales Sourced from medieval German folktales by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm in the 19th century, these sanguinary stories deal with abduction, cannibalism and worse. Erik the Viking, by Terry Jones, illustrated by Michael Foreman Erik tells his wife that he must go to "the land where the sun goes at night"; off he travels on an atmospheric adventure, terrifically illustrated. When the Wind Blows, by Raymond Briggs Jim and Hilda Bloggs's preparation for a nuclear attack remains enthralling. First comic, then moving. Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, by TS Eliot This delightful collection of verse sees cat-loving Eliot capering about with his trousers rolled. A perfect introduction to the pleasures of poetry for children. The Iron Man, by Ted Hughes Since it appeared in 1968, the late Poet Laureate's children's book has become a classic. Benign iron bloke falls from sky, battles space-bat-angel-dragon, saves world. Bliss. 请看电影。。。。俺还没看。。。。 The Owl and the Pussycat, by Edward Lear Edward Lear's bizarre story of inter-species elopement and gastronomic adventure still charms and diverts. Runcible. The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." But reading about Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger runs it a close second. The Worst Witch Collection, by Jill Murphy Before Harry Potter there was Mildred Hubble, the worst witch at Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. A tale of flying broomsticks, rivalries and magical pedagogy. Peter Pan, by JM Barrie JM Barrie's Neverland adventures were first performed as a play, and later turned into a novel. Clap your hands if you believe. 哈,小飞侠彼得潘。其实跟我真的没什么关系。。。。 Mr Majeika, by Humphrey Carpenter Mr Majeika, with his tuft of hair, is ever ready to cast spells on unruly pupils - most notably Hamish Bigmore, whose rudeness gets him changed into a frog. Charming and funny in equal measure. The Water Babies, by Charles Kinglsey Tom the sweep drowns after being chased from a rich household and falls into a sub-aquatic purgatory. But once he proves his worth he is allowed wonderful adventures. A Little Princess, by Frances Hodgson Burnett Seven-year-old Sara Crewe is sent back from India to Miss Minchin's Seminary for Young Ladies in England, to discover she has lost her fortune to a swindler and her father to disease. A stirring tale. 啊,《小公主》,秀兰邓波儿,多么美好的回忆。我再也没见过比她更可爱的童星了。 I'm The King of the Castle, by Susan Hill A powerful and claustrophobic study of bullying, this has a real narrative grip and a frightening message. No reader remains untouched. 会说英文的人,应该都会这一句。咔咔。 The Wave, by Morton Rhue Teacher Ben Ross doesn't think his students understand what it was like to live in Nazi Germany, so he devises an experiment. A powerful story about the risks of conformism. Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid Lindgren Pippi is impulsive, irrepressible, red-haired and so strong you won't believe it. Her bizzare adventures delight children and confound health and safety. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl Charlie Bucket's adventures in Willy Wonka's factory - the chocolate rivers, the minia-tuarisation room, the Oompa Loompas - will live for ever. 查理和巧克力工厂,电影拍的没有书写的好看。 Bambert's Book of Missing Stories, by Reinhardt Jung Shy Bambert sends his half-written stories into the world attached to balloons for whoever finds them to finish. Stories come back from all over the world, and the final story is heartbreaking. The Firework-maker's Daughter, by Philip Pullman Lila's father doesn't want her to follow his career in fireworks so she must prove herself on an epic quest that takes in dragons and pirates. Tom's Midnight Garden, by Philippa Pearce As Tom lies in bed preparing for the most boring holiday of his life, the clock strikes 13. Racing downstairs he sees daylight and a beautiful garden where there should be darkness. Incredibly exciting. The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster A bored young boy pushes his toy car through a toy tollbooth, and finds himself in the kingdom of Wisdom. Genius wordplay, slapstick and a real sense of fun. The Silver Sword, by Ian Serrallier Just after the Second World War, a group of children navigate war-torn Europe armed with little more than a letter opener. Tense, demanding and adult. Cue for Treason, by Geoffrey Trease After Peter Brownrigg chucks a stone at his landlord, he has to flee to London. Here he meets Shakespeare and uncovers a plot to kill Queen Elizabeth. Tudor derring-do. The Sword in the Stone, by TH White The trials of Arthur have never been more amusingly described. Merlin is the archetype for all dotty wizards. A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K LeGuin LeGuin's fantasy lands are scrupulously realised, but it is emotional complexity that makes her books so engrossing. Here a young wizard has to come to terms with the destructive power of his magic. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, by JK Rowling The third book may be the best in JK Rowling's series. All the usual Potter tricks are here, but the highlight is the Dementors, the terrifying guards of Azkaban prison. 乐坏了。哈里波特和阿兹卡班的囚徒。 The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set, by CS Lewis The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe isn't the only Narnia story worth reading. The Silver Chair is a powerful allegory of mental slavery; and Voyage of the Dawn Treader sees a talking mouse paddle over the edge of the world. 纳尼亚传奇系列。哈,电影版的,也是新西兰的导演以及外景地。 His Dark Materials Box Set, by Philip Pullman Pullman's riposte to CS Lewis is a trumpet-blast against dogma - but, above all else, a gripping adventure. The BFG, by Roald Dahl At the witching hour, a giant blows sweet dreams into children's bedrooms. When orphan Sophie sees him one night, he takes her to his cave. Beware whizzpoppers! Swallows and Amazons, by Arthur Ransome Childcare used to be a bit less hands on ("Better drowned than duffers. If not duffers won't drown") and one cannot read the adventures of these four children in a lost Eden without a lump in the throat. Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now, by Lauren Child At first glance one for the girls, but boys should read it too. Over the series Clarice has matured from an infant with a quirky vocabulary into a complex, engaging teenager. The Railway Children, by E Nesbit When their father is accused of treason, Bobbie, Peter, Phyllis and their mother move to the country. They pass the time watching trains go by and proving their father innocent, which is nice. The Selfish Giant, by Oscar Wilde Wilde's giant wants to keep children out of his garden so that he can have it to himself. But it stays shrouded in snow until one day, when the giant's hard heart is softened by one of the boys… 奥斯卡王尔德,非常聪明而有趣的作家。 Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell One of the greatest books ever narrated by a horse, with a fine message: be kind to animals, and they'll be kind to you. 应该找同名电影来看看。 Just William, by Richmal Crompton The classic naughty schoolboy, William wages a gentle war of attrition against parental and teacherly authority. Jennings Goes to School, by Anthony Buckeridge Catapults, grazed knees, and mischief of the best sort. Hogwarts may have revived our appetite for boys-school stories, but Jennings was there first. Comet in Moominland, by Tove Jansson Moomin is a peculiar fellow, but through him and his equally peculiar friends the Finnish author Tove Jansson explores the big issues: friendship, alienation, fear, loss and meteors from outer space. The Bad Beginning, by Lemony Snicket This magnificently black-hearted book introduced us to the Baudelaire children, orphaned in a fire and trying to keep one step ahead of the predatory Count Olaf, who is after their inherited fortune.

'If children are to become readers for life, they must first love stories'。 这一百本书包括从儿童期到十几岁的少年所读的书。 先说儿童时期,大概应该列为5到6岁以下。 Part 1: Early years The Twits, by Roald Dahl Mr and Mrs Twit pass the time playing nasty tricks on one another. They're both horrid. In his hairy beard, Mr Twit "was always able to find a tasty morsel to nibble on". Burglar Bill, by Janet and Allan Ahlberg "I'll 'ave that," is the catchphrase of the rogue who stars in this engaging and beautifully illustrated tale. When Bill accidentally burglarises a baby, it turns out to be a blessing in a stolen basket. "Runfrit, Boglaboll!" The Tiger Who Came To Tea, by Judith Kerr Newsnight's Emily Maitlis has a theory that this book is an allegory about sex. Most children understand it as the story of a tiger that eats its hosts out of house and home. Debate continues. Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak When Max engages in mischief, he is sent to bed without his supper. That's just the start. Sendak's paintings sing, and the text is a joy. The Tale of Samuel Whiskers, by Beatrix Potter Tom Kitten learnt nothing from his parents about the consequences of curiosity. Abducted by a psychotic rat, he comes within a whisker of being turned into a pudding. Nightmares guaranteed. Yertle the Turtle, by Dr Seuss Theodor Geisel's response to Hitler was more oblique than Stauffenberg's, but as effective. Yertle, king of the pond, commands all the turtles to stack themselves up so he can be top of the heap. Someone's riding for a fall. Dr Seuss 写了很多故事书,从重复谐音长短句到完整的长故事,滑稽夸大的形象,深得小朋友的喜爱。入选的儿童读物里他就有两个。其实他远不止。 Fungus the Bogeyman, by Raymond Briggs What boy won't thrill to the world of the Bogeymen, all snot, armpits and boils? This gave Raymond Briggs's green crayon the workout of its life. The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business, by Werner Holzwarth and Wolf Erlbruch Someone's dropping lands on poor mole's head. Who's the culprit? A farmyard investigation is conducted with Germanic seriousness. Mole's revenge is sweet. Room on the Broom, by Julia Donaldson Punchier than The Gruffalo, this has children chanting along as a witch and her animal friends see off a dragon in search of "witch and chips". The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle "In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf…" so begins this classic board book, its pages drilled with holes as the caterpillar eats his way through the week. 幼儿园必备。 The Cat in the Hat, by Dr Seuss "Look at me! Look at me! Look at me now!" The cat's a big show-off, but he knows how to have fun, and his chaotic antics delight. Charlotte's Web, by EB White White's 1952 masterpiece describes the friendship between a lonely pig and a talented spider. This poignant tale teaches lessons about love, death and differing life expectancies. 这一本大概在国内流传最广,就是很多人都不陌生的《夏洛的网》。 The Story of Babar, by Jean de Brunhoff When Babar sees his mother shot he reacts as any modern child might: a few tears, then off on a shopping spree. Nice green suit, though. Winnie-the-Pooh, by AA Milne, illustrated by EH Shepard Visit Hundred Acre Wood, and meet Pooh, Piglet and Christopher Robin, based on AA Milne's son. This classic story hasn't aged, and EH Shepard's understated illustrations remain the best. 这个维尼小熊好像是铁手的最爱啊。

有点感触要及时写,要不然就忘了。 话说前两天儿子报名领新书回来,回到家里问我们,“你猜我们的新书那本最贵”? 小学的六年级课本就语、数、英、美术、音乐、综合品德、信息技术这几样,这几年价格都还可以,没有离谱的。 猜了几次没有猜中,儿子告诉了答案。神情激动的说,小学高年级新加了一本“健康食品宣传读物",这本书真黑呢,价格最贵!学生都说从网上下载的一些文章打印装订起来,根本不值8块5毛钱。 后来了解到,老师发书的时候全班同学都叫了起来,然后叽叽喳喳的议论了一番。 到了晚上,LD给儿子的书包书皮,我看了一下这本”最贵“的书,是地方出版集团出版的,无论从书的内容、纸张的厚度、印刷的质量上来说,都比儿子其他几本书差了一大截。依据老农的判断,这本书的成本不会超过2元。 什么书最贵?孩子们的心中有杆秤。

The Telegraph has listed the top 100 books every child should read. Here are the top five choices: The Twits – Roald Dahl Burglar Bill – Janet and Allan Ahlberg The Tiger Who Came to Tea – Judith Kerr Where the Wild Things Are – Maurice Sendak The Tale of Samuel Whiskers – Beatrix Potter 今天在网上看到: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/3670595/100-books-every-child-should-read-Pt-1.html 这个书单有很多我们从幼儿园里就开始看了。象什么 The Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle ,The Cat in the Hat, by Dr Seuss 等等等等,还有很多改编成电影的。我觉得这个书单还是很可以借鉴一下,尤其是身居海外,家里有小朋友的人。即使是成人,读一些这些小朋友们的书,也是了解欧美文化的基础。因为这些小朋友们就是看着这些书,读着这些故事长大的。 这会没空。回头我再仔细把书单列出来。 已经在亲亲宝贝贴出来了。 http://www.aswetalk.org/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthreadtid=9897page=1#pid170078

作者是武汉大学的哲学教授吴根友。 我大致读了通钱穆之后,算是对宋明理学的传承有了点基本概念。读这本书就好入手多了。 这本书的序言写得不错,其中提到的问题也正是08年以来西河一直在讨论,或者说我自己和朋友一直在思考的: 1. 中国的现代化难题。即我们究竟需要一种什么样的现代化生活模式? 2. 在经济全球化,文化多元化,信息泛化的新时代,中国人如何参与到世界秩序的重建之中,并在新的世界秩序中保持中华民族政治、文化的独特地位? 3. 多元的文化格局是否能达成一个低度的文化共识? 4. 如果全球化时代的各民族国家之间缺乏基本的低度文化共识,我他之间的交往是否可能? 5. 如果有一个基本的低度文化共识,那么其理念或内核该是什么? “生活在现代化过程之中的中国人,一方面眷恋自己民族的优秀文化传统,另一方面又感叹现代化过程中文化的肤浅化与人的平面化。”作者认为“现代精神的核心价值观念是承认个人自由......而儒家思想中最具有生命力的精神是其”仁学“思想,该思想中的核心是”把人当人看“。正因为这一核心,儒家思想与现代精神才拥有了可以沟通的精神通道。 与西方哲学始于惊异、终于”求智“(或曰爱智)的精神风貌略有不同,中国传统哲学的神韵还在于此世生活中理想人格的养成。” “夫知古不知今,谓之陆沉”,“夫知今不知古,谓之盲瞽”。自19世纪末以来,“古今”、“中西”之争成为中国人不得不面对的两大问题“,这本书就是作者针对这一问题给出的个人回答。 本书分为四个部分,也可以说是作者之个人回答的四个方面,甲编是对明清哲学研究方法论的一个总结和反思,这里头比较重要的一点就是明确在做文化的比较研究时,是将”他者“的文明做”价值中立“的参照系,还是做评判标准。说实话,我自己觉得“价值中立”是很难做到的,一方面,作为本文化体系下的个体,对本文明做观察的时候,很难不带上感情的烙印;另一方面,让人看到两件事物,却不予一个高下的判定,太难了。在一定的历史阶段,在不同的文明体系之间,还是能依据一些不以人的主观意愿而改变的标准排出个1、2、3、4的,那么“落后”的向“先进”的学习,也就是应有之义。我们现在能够不像百年前那么自卑,能够在心理上站直了,是因为我们站在了好几代人的反省、学习、建设和积累上。 乙编说的是戴震、郑板桥与明清哲学研究。主要是想说明清之际的中国哲学出现了“自由”、“仁爱”、“求真”、“贵我”等现代性因素。我虽然很喜欢作者对戴震的书写(我太喜欢戴震了!),但是就其明清哲学中的现代性因素分析,略觉牵强。 丙编讨论“儒家思想和政治哲学”,这个部分我看得比较粗略,因为谈政治哲学,若没有对应的制度设计和执行性分析,就很容易流入空谈。 丁编讨论“理想人格与现代性反思”,这是我看得最为仔细的部分。作者在这个部分介绍了冯契提出的“平民化自由人格”和殷海光的个人自由思想,并对儒家的”君子人格“从现代化的角度予以解释。作者问道,”当我们真的拷问了自己的灵魂,在我们真的获得了自由的时候,我们的内在德性能否承担得起自由所带给我们的一片虚无?或者自由带给我们的沉重的负担“?想起梅丽尔·斯特里普的电影《法国中尉的女人》,在电影中,身处现代社会的安娜终究选择了离开,而承受世俗责难的萨拉却能勇敢坚持对自由灵魂的追求。作者认为,要成为一个真正的人,一个立体的人,而不是”单向度的人“,需要长时间的精神修炼。我们只有通过内在精神深度的不断开掘,才能更好地把握外在世界,使复杂多元的外部世界向我们呈现出前所未有的人生意义。而传统儒家思想中的君子人格就在于它能为现代社会丰富人性的养成,提供一种精神的向导作用。我对这个问题的思考现在还在一种比较矛盾的阶段,一方面,从我自己对儒家典籍的阅读体会,我也曾有过和作者一样的观点,但近来又略有变化,人格教育和社会现实是很难分割的,我们不可能做一个”绝对“独立于社会条件之外的人,其实就儒家本身,其君子人格和养成方式在不同历史时期也有所变化。另一方面,正如和葡萄讨论时提到的我们现在没有时间等新儒家重新构建我们自身精神家园的内核,只能边做边建立。 总的说来,这本书较好地介绍概括了一些前人的哲学观点和思考,但在作者自己思想的展开上,还是比较粗略。算是一本比较好的索骥之图。

热度 6 南方有嘉木 2012-2-2 11:00
哈佛教授阿列克斯曾在《从传统人到现代人----六个发展中国家中的个人变化》一书中,对“现代人”的内涵描述如下: 1. 乐于接受新的经验; 2. 准备接受社会变化; 3. 对发生在他环境之中与环境之外的事情,具有形成意见并持有意见的倾向; 4. 对能够形成意见的事实与信息采取一种积极的态度; 5. 在时间性问题上,更面向现实与未来,而不是以过去为取向,守时; 6. 有较强的效能观念,对自己能力有自信,不愿意向权威或自然的力量屈服; 7. 讲究计划性; 8. 可依赖性或信任感; 9. 重视专门技术,并承认以此作为分配报酬的正当基础; 10. 重视教育特别是职业教育的价值; 11. 了解并尊重他人的尊严; 12.重视对事件出现与展开过程的了解。 -----看上去很美的描述,精确而理性,我完全相信一个人若能做到以上12条,则一定能够在世俗世界取得成功。但我仍是摆脱不了一种虚伪的感觉,在这份看似价值中立的“现代人”特征描述中缺乏了一些在我看来更根本的东西。直到今天读到马克思·舍勒的批判: 伴随着商人和工业家掌握了国家政权,他们的爱好与价值取向变成了社会道德的样板。首先,商人和企业家的职业价值,该类人赖以成功并发展事业的内禀价值,被抬高为普遍有效的道德价值,甚至被抬高为这些价值中的”最高价值“。机敏、快速适应能力、计算型智力,对保障生命”稳妥“和八面玲珑的意识----确切地说,能够创造这些条件的特有能力,对各种情况的可预测性、对连续工作和勤奋、对签订和遵守合约等的意识,现在都成为基本品德。其次,人的涵养变成一种纯粹手段:人靠“明智”、“踏实”、“有分寸"成功地搞业务,尽可能击败对手:如果没有这一目的,涵养就得不到肯定评价。忠诚不再是爱与信任伦理的自然延伸,而纯粹变成恪守诺言和契约的素质;再次,生命不再是本原现象,而只是机理过程与心理过程的综合。因此,生命也就失去了独立的价值,只有当其”有用“时,才会有价值。 不过,在人类社会发展的一定历史阶段,就只能做那个阶段所需要并所能tolerate的人。人,生而自由,但无往不在枷锁之中。

吴与弼,明朝理学家。19岁便把功名放下,立志做圣贤,从此居家劳作,贫寒育人,淡泊名利,坚守本心。读他的《日录》,其实生活多有不易之处,比如他说: 因事知贫难处,思之不得,付之无奈。孔子曰“志士不忘在沟壑”,未易能也。又曰“贫而乐”,未易及也 。其实为生计家累发愁之时不少。但那些到底是浮面的悲哀,其内心深处时时警惕,还是为学求理上的进益。他担心的是, 岁月如流,而学行难进。府仰今昔,为之怅然 。他的文字在求道上有很深的急迫感,总是怕来不及,怕蹉跎,怕耽误。但其心却本真,混然质朴,有平和恬淡之趣。引一些自己喜欢的和朋友共享: ---------------------------------------- 5. 食后坐东窗,四体舒泰,神气清朗,读书愈有进益。数日趣同此,必又透一关矣。(所谓学而时习之,不亦乐乎。) 12. 南轩读《孟子》甚乐,湛然虚明,平旦之气略无所挠,绿阴清昼,熏风徐来,而 山林阒寂,天地自阔,日月自长 。邵子所谓“ 心静方能知白日,眼明始会识青天 ”,于斯可验。 14. 南轩柱贴云: 幽静无非安分处,清闲便是读书时 。 16. 澹如秋水贫中味,和似春风静后功。(不如直接说”澹如秋水,和似春风“) 24. 昼寝起,四体甚畅,中心洒然。安贫乐道,何所求哉。 25. 当念岁月晚而学无成,可惧也。 26. 静时涵养,动时省察,不可须臾忽也。 37. 看田,至青石桥,游观甚适。归,焚香读书外南轩,风日和煦,揽景乐甚。读书,理亦明着,心神清爽。 43. 适蔬园中,虽暂废书,亦贫贱所当然。往亲农途中,读《孟子》, 与野花相值,幽草自生,而水声琅然,延停久之,意思潇洒 。 109. 坐门外,图书满案,子弟环待。乘绿阴,纳清风,群物生意满前,而好山相宾主。览兹胜趣,胸次悠然。(人生至此,夫复何求?想我坐此窗下,书满硬盘,网上好友相待。一盏清茶,树木各有佳处,天地自阔,我亦悠然。) 118. 途中看《言行录》。归及, 隔溪藉草,临流观书,甚乐 。杏然尘外之趣。 119. 中堂读倦,游后园归,丝桐三弄,心地悠然,日明风静,天壤之间,不知复有何乐?(下午读书读到四点左右,亦在院中随意漫走,宁静的愉悦。) 131. 人之遇患难,须平心易气以处之,厌心一生,必至于怨天尤人。此乃见学力不可不勉。(女性此生,难勘破处在一”怨“字。我独居多年,平日亦觉平心易气,但亦难免有怨尤的时候,于是对阿壳无故发火。每又自省,怎可如此怨妇情态?又笑自己一时迷障。) 148. 月下咏诗, 独步绿阴,时倚修竹,好风徐来,人境寂然 ,心甚平澹,无康节所谓攻心之事。 157. 早观,生意可乐。残月尚在,露华满眼,个中妙趣,非言语所能形容。东斋柱贴云:窗前花草宜人意,几上诗书悦道心。 158. 寄身于从容无竞之境,游心于恬澹不挠之乡,日以圣贤嘉言善行沃润之,则庶几其有进乎! 171. 处大事者,须深沉详察。 177. 五月初一早看韩文。 晴色满帘,清风透户 ,花草盈栏,幽景可爱。 235. 看沤田,晚归,大雨,中途雨止,月白,衣服皆湿。 贫贱之分当然也,静坐独处不难,居广居、应天下为难 。 238. 不学,则老而衰。 252. 人生须自重 。 253. 不怨天,不尤人。下学上达。当佩以终余齿。 265. 彼以悭吝狡伪之心待我,吾以正大光明之体待之。 295. 雨后生意可爱。 将这身来放在万物中 ,一例看大小,大快活。 316 早憩自得亭。亲笔砚。水气连村,游鱼满沼,畦蔬生意,皆足乐也。 328. 虽万变之纷纭,而应之各有定理。

热度 20 南方有嘉木 2012-1-5 05:34
鲁迅啊,鲁迅,把奴性,把国人对“官”的依附性说得这么透,犀利地让人背脊发冷,想起以前河里厚积薄发和郢客讨论时,问道,永不受招安,问君能待否?我曾回复,苟利国家生死以,岂因招安避趋之。 大义所在,用舍行藏。但现在觉得当日自己是说得痛快,要说为人一世,坚持思想之自由,精神之独立,在我们的文化之中,到底还是需要承担代价。 但另一面也很无奈,我们的政治体系其实很早熟,一个人学成文武艺,不卖给帝王家,那是无处可去,甚至无地可谋生的。不卖,就是当砍头的罪,战国时有位太后就说得很明白。隋唐之后,这个体系完全成熟,为官做事的实惠,加上”治国平天下“的理念宣传,让读书人既有理想的名声,也有生活的实惠,于是其他出路既然没有,也不必有,思想的创新亦如此,大抵都局限在政治哲学,或为统治的便利。需方只是帝王家,所以儒也罢,侠也罢,生杀予夺,都只能按帝王家的标准来,于是越来越驯化,最后这体系便沦为《官场现形纪》或《儒林外史》。所以太祖要完全推倒重来,我看清末小说,看得心里发凉,一个体系竟然可以坏到这种地步,于是稍稍理解太祖的激烈。 现在以儒侠为名的流氓也不少,或曰文痞,所以对那些对普通民众喊得响,自己却锦衣玉食,拿着各种资助的,实在得抱一颗怀疑的心。 ----------------------------------------   孔墨都不满于现状,要加以改革,但那第一步,是在说动人主,而那用以压服人主的家伙,则都是“天”。孔子之徒为儒,墨子之徒为侠。“儒 者,柔也”,当然不会危险的。惟侠老实,所以墨者的末流,至于以“死”为终极的目的。到后来,真老实的逐渐死完,止留下取巧的侠,汉的大侠, 就已和公侯权贵相馈赠,以备危急时来作护符之用了。   司马迁说:“儒以文乱法,而侠以武犯禁”,“乱”之和“犯”,决不是“叛”,不过闹点小乱子而已,而况有权贵如“五侯”者在。   “侠”字渐消,强盗起了,但也是侠之流,他们的旗帜是“替天行道”。他们所反对的是奸臣,不是天子,他们所打劫的是平民,不是将相。李逵劫法场 时,抡起板斧来排头砍去,而所砍的是看客。一部《水浒》,说得很分明:因为不反对天子,所以大军一到,便受招安,替国家打别的强盗——不“替天行道” 的强盗去了。终于是奴才。   满洲入关,中国渐被压服了,连有“侠气”的人,也不敢再起盗心,不敢指斥奸臣,不敢直接为天子效力,于是跟一个好官员或钦差大臣,给他保镳,替他捕 盗,一部《施公案》,也说得很分明,还有《彭公案》,《七侠五义》之流,至今没有穷尽。他们出身清白,连先前也并无坏处,虽在钦差之下,究居平民之上,对一方面固然必须听命,对别方面还是大可逞雄,安全之度增多了,奴性也跟着加足。   然而为盗要被官兵所打,捕盗也要被强盗所打,要十分安全的侠客,是觉得都不妥当的,于是有流氓。和尚喝酒他来打,男女通奸他来捉,私娼私贩他来凌辱, 为的是维持风化;乡下人不懂租界章程他来欺侮,为的是看不起无知;剪发女人他来嘲骂,社会改革者他来憎恶,为的是宝爱秩序。但后面是传统的靠山,对手又都非浩荡的强敌,他就在其间横行过去。现在的小说,还没有写出这一种典型的书,惟《九尾龟》中的章秋谷,以为他给妓女吃苦,是因为她要敲人们竹杠, 所以给以惩罚之类的叙述,约略近之。 -------------------------------------

分享 由镇江带来的读书回忆
热度 12 zealangel 2011-11-20 22:04
看到河蚌在镇江写的日志,勾起一些杂乱的思绪。 镇江,这个名字想起还是在小学看到过的一本书,由镇江民间传说故事组成,现在还有印象的是镇江3大怪——香醋摆不坏、肴肉不当菜、面锅里面煮锅盖——好吧,其实我只记得中间这句,其它的是百度来的,吃货回忆起来的都是最馋的。其它的还有蟹黄汤包,梁红玉击鼓退金兵,水漫金山寺等等。那时的我看的津津有味,除了馋,故事写的好也是一方面。比起现在旅游景点和所谓经典小吃的传说模板,好看多了。 由镇江的传说故事可以连带回忆起另一本小时候看的地方民间故事,我家乡的民间故事集《黄粱梦的传说》,应该是这个名字,卢生上京赶考路过黄粱梦,一枕黄粱给这个靠近邯郸城的村子命了名,其实黄粱梦不光只有这个故事,还有一个吕仙祠,八仙过海之一的吕洞宾的庙。每年春天黄粱梦赶集,吕洞宾都会亲自参加,惩恶扬善(有个故事还调戏了妇女。。。),写的也很好。在故事书里,好像卢生那个黄粱一梦也是吕洞宾扮作店家来点悟卢生的。 好像还看过其他地方地方传说,比如北京的民间传说,后来在veryCD上下载了一个有声读物《老北京的传说》,也许是我不习惯听电子书,要么就是我欣赏口味变化了,咋觉得听不下去呢?

昨天,我有幸为全班同学推荐了《震动》一书,并且得到了广大同学的支持和拥护,在此表示感谢! 这是一本需要带手绢阅读的书,因为100%你会读哭。但哭过之后,你从此会选择坚强;男生黄春荣和钟雷都对宋佳玲有好感,两人因此结仇。宋佳玲请另外一位叫元帅的男孩去调解。元帅想出的办法是:让黄春荣和钟雷到郊外去决斗,而他和俞前进当裁判!宋佳玲为了阻止两人决斗,和同学顾芳芳赶到郊外制止。这时候,大地震发生了。六名少男少女被困郊外,回不了镇上。在缺水缺食,又有人受伤的情形之下,人与人之间的关系变得更加微妙和复杂。这几个少年,性格和人生经历都完全不同,其中有好几个人还是别人眼中的“坏男孩”,他们能同舟共济,共度难关吗? 重要提示:如果你不打算读此书,最好翻都不要翻开!因为一旦试读,无法放下!此书对心灵的震撼,不亚于一次地震,它会影响你的一生! 这本书是暑假时,爸爸从网上书店买的,至今我已读过数遍,每每把自己融入故事情节,都难免热泪盈眶。《三字经》开篇即述,人之初,性本善。在一定的背景下,人们善良的天性便会占主导地位。正是这样,大家才能团结一致,共同战胜大地震带来的种种挑战和考验。 同学们,让我一起来读吧!

昨天编辑发来前序的定稿。我再做次广告。 我没有什么翻译经验,也因为人在国外,整个改定过程并非完全顺达。所有不足,都是我的错误,如有机会,一定一一改正。谢谢读者。 《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》(1938年初版)是《灰姑娘辛德瑞拉》的一个迷人的变体,它由佩塞芬妮出版社重新印刷出版,这件事本身也类似于一则童话。      我记得我最早读这本小说时才十来岁,因为那是我母亲最喜欢的书,她常捧读在手,如今回想起来,那不单纯是为了寻个发笑与做美梦的去处,而更在 于就许多方面而言,身为中年穷家教的派蒂格鲁小姐,活脱脱映衬着我母亲本人。她是个单身母亲,在那个年代做单身母亲会遭遇到不少困难(我生于1942 年)。她做过家庭教师,做过厨子,还做过一间小型私立学校的校长;她薪资菲薄,又没有多少亲戚朋友,前途渺茫。      可我母亲却是个无可救药的乐观主义者,她最喜欢的书也表明了她的这种坚定信念: 一切终究会好起来,事实上也确是如此。所以,我是伴着《派蒂格鲁小姐》这本书一同长大的,后来它还跟随我去牛津念书,在我作为一名大学讲师在伦敦扎下根来 的岁月中,一直陪伴着我,直到我在剑桥退休。在那儿,有天我不经意地把“妈妈最喜欢的书”借给另一位学者,她读得兴味盎然,还在教学时提到它,甚至在某个 阴雨天跑进大学图书馆里把它重读一遍,让自己快活起来。      由此可见,《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》值得推荐的,显然不单单是它宣扬要爱国爱家的那一点;大约两周以后,恰逢另一个阴天,《佩塞芬妮季刊》躺 进了我的邮箱,我读到该社正在寻找一些选题方面的建议,便欣然发了一封电子邮件,之后,便揣着我那宝贝的家藏本,亲往大萨顿街。这本小说再次受到热忱礼 遇,我也受邀作序。“多有趣啊,”我想着,信心十足地折回大学图书馆: 温妮弗瑞德·沃森写过六部小说,成书时间均在1930年和40年代初期,我毫不怀疑我能轻易找到我感兴趣的有关她的一切。      可是不妙得很,我出师未捷,与她的作品相关的评论世面上很少见,梅休恩出版社的档案文件二战时都遗失了,正统资料里也未详列她的生平,简言 之,我一无所获。后来,我从图书馆翻出她的小说初版本的外封套,有个封套上记录着沃森小姐在成为小说家之前,曾供职于纽卡斯尔市,是名打字员。我们赶紧致 电纽卡斯尔中央图书馆,可是,尽管管理员很殷勤,他们除了抄出一条记录,告诉我们一个夫姓和一处1974年登记的住址,仍旧提供不了任何细节。我们于是求 助于英国电信,拨了一连串与之相关的号码,询问温妮弗瑞德·沃森小姐的下落。令我们大喜过望的是,响起一个沉稳的带纽卡斯尔口音的声音,“我就是她”。      于是,我们约好了进行一次面谈。我前往纽卡斯尔,与温妮弗瑞德·沃森聊了两个小时。她虽已93岁高龄,却仍一个人在杰斯蒙德生活,她差不多一 辈子都是这么过的;她活跃、风趣、富于洞察力,也正如她的书留给人的印象。她声称自己过着一种相当普通恬淡的生活。不过六部小说中,她最喜欢的始终是《派 蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》。      温妮弗瑞德·沃森生于1906年,家境殷实,她父亲在盖兹海德拥有一家商店,在纽卡斯尔拥有三家商店,服务的顾客皆为劳动者;沃森向我解释 说,在那个年代工人们觉得进城区中心的“大商厦”很不自在,因此在各个分区都有属于工人们的商店。我想这或许能帮着解释反映在她小说里的,比如紧跟着《派 蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》面世的《三级跳》(1939年初版)里面,那种对城镇工人阶层的贫苦的深刻同情。然而对温妮弗瑞德这样一位待在战前的杰斯蒙德的年轻 女子来说,生活是无忧无虑的: 她有两个姐姐,一对双胞胎弟弟。温妮弗瑞德与姐姐就读于坐落在贝尔维克沿特威德河方向的圣若楠寄宿学校,此后,她升学至商贸学院,毕业后成为文秘。温妮弗 瑞德的第一份工作很轻闲,几乎无所事事,腾出大把时间来读小说。一天,她的一个姐姐问她在读什么,她说全是些糟透的无稽之谈,换她自己写会好些,她的姐夫 便劝她照这条路子走下去……她于是真的这样做了,花费早晨的工时,写成了她的第一部小说《四脚朝天》(初版于1935年)。      她的第二份工作能匀给写作的时间就少了,《四脚朝天》的稿本也被晾在一边,直到她的姐姐很偶然地读到一位文学代理人征募新锐小说家的启事。温 妮弗瑞德听从家人劝告,对代理人说她手头已有两部小说的定稿,并一口气又签下写四部新书的合约。这子虚乌有的第二部小说随后也被她写完了,温妮弗瑞德原定 于1935年6月的婚礼,也提前到1月举行,即为了让她投入整整一个夏天来专攻新作: 《不成双的鞋》(1936年初版)。婚后,温妮弗瑞德继续以本名写作,她的丈夫似乎引以为豪,很支持妻子的文学事业。      《四脚朝天》作为一部时髦的乡村小说——丝黛拉·吉本斯1932年写就的《寒凉舒适的农庄》模仿过此书的风格——立即为年轻的小说家奠定了声 誉: 所有的书评都被这则围绕着两性间的嫉妒、情杀的阴寒故事所郁结的幽怨力道触动了,人们更惊叹它的作者如此年轻,翻一翻报纸上的宣传照,那上面是一位名不见 经传的端丽女子。梅休恩出版社在当时纽卡斯尔最豪华的蒂里饭店,专门给《四脚朝天》举办了一场首发午餐会,这也是有史以来伦敦的出版商第一次来这座小城主 持如此盛大的宴会。当地报纸争相刊登这位新锐作家的玉照,达官显要云集一堂,而当时梅休恩的执行总编、古典主义学者E·V·里尔,甚至亲自北上,为温妮弗 瑞德·沃森致辞。之后电台改编连播了这部小说,第二轮《不成双的鞋》的专场午餐会又于1936年在蒂里大饭店举行,该部小说的故事背景就是19世纪中叶的 纽卡斯尔,同样好评如潮,被视作前途无量的青年作家的佳作。      在发表了一部乡村小说和一部历史小说以后,温妮弗瑞德·沃森的下一部小说很戏剧性地改变了方向。拿到《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》手稿的梅休恩出 版社的编辑多少吃了一惊: 他们原来期待的系老瓶装新酒的“女性小说”,在怀旧的田园风光里如火如荼地铺展情节,而绝不是发生在伦敦西区,混合着家庭教师、夜总会歌手、可卡因、鸡尾 酒及轻喜剧等诸多元素的幻想小说。温妮弗瑞德显然为自己抗辩过,并忠告梅休恩他们错了,可她不得不再写另一部乡村风情浓郁的小说《遥远的北方》(1938 年初版),当地的一位书评家对此书并不买账,抱怨某些对话与情节读起来既不通情理,又凸显色情意味,以至弱化了精巧布局本身的价值。两本小说同在1938 年出版,《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》受到了肯定,这证明了作者是对的。此书出过美国版,还被翻译成法语。1939年,温妮弗瑞德·沃森甚至还答应了出德文版 的要求,她回忆说,她刚复了信,就意识到等信到达时,恐怕英格兰与德意志已经开战。她的预见再次应验了。      致使那位书评人谴责《遥远的北方》一书串了色情味的原因,本来也能令读者害怕去读《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》。温妮弗瑞德·沃森之前的作品中不 存在任何铺垫,能帮助梅休恩出版社审读她稿子的编辑来适应她骤变的风格,让人叹服的,是伴随滴答走时框架的纯粹妙趣、轻盈喜味以及瑰奇遐想,我以为,再没 有别的脚本比它更接近弗雷德·阿斯泰尔主演的影视剧了。情节上的起伏巧妙而自然,《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》也堪称迷人的甜姐儿了: 派蒂格鲁小姐本人的道德观无懈可击,然而她学会了弃守立场,转而欣赏她的两位导师,亦即与几个情人纠缠的拉福斯小姐(或许她还生了不止一个、也许两个私生 子)和伦敦城最佳美容院的店主杜伯里小姐,她曾经说,“如果你拿出‘要么结婚要么拉倒’的架势,男人们通常会给你婚姻。我很幸运,我给他灌了迷魂汤,可惜 他撵不上我。他得到一块不错的墓碑,我则得到了美容院。”如此游走下去,鲜活的对话、不把玩方言,也不讲究夸张的内心轨迹: 一位小说家由此摸准了属于她的文风。光怪陆离的30年代夜总会、熠熠生光的晚礼服、打理得叫人目眩神迷的男人们,都被这本书刻画得惟妙惟肖,也被玛丽·汤 姆森的细腻铅笔插画描绘得活灵活现。然而,其实温妮弗瑞德·沃森一生都不曾踏足夜总会,“你写作的时候,如果事物感觉起来不离谱,那么读者就会信以为真 了。”她对我如此说。      大战爆发之际,温妮弗瑞德·沃森已经完成了第五部小说《三级跳》(1939年初版),作为辛德瑞拉题材的另一变化,它糅合了以同时代城镇惨状 为基调的环境和《派蒂格鲁小姐的大日子》派生出的达观幽默,并一如后者,成为历久不衰的佳作。她的最后一部小说,兼顾谋杀、悬疑及心理分析,定位在当时的 上流社交圈与邻近乡村,发表于1943年。      这最后的作品《离别遗赠》,温妮弗瑞德·沃森把它献给婆婆,借以“感戴她的诸多仁慈”。可是,献词的背后,却暗示着她对写作的离弃: 1943年以后,温妮弗瑞德·沃森再也没有出版新书或重拾隽笔,除了一卷120页的现已遗失的未完成小说稿。导致这一切的原因主要是环境,而非存心而为: 战时的一个夜晚,温妮弗瑞德独自在家,小婴儿凯斯不愿待在楼上的游戏室里,于是她把他抱下客厅。她记得她看着他歪进长沙发椅哈哈大笑,随后听到轰炸声: 凯斯的房间里,壁炉被掀入他的小床,比邻的几户,好几个人都被炸死了。改在楼下玩的小凯斯却幸存下来,长大成人,结了婚,并有了两个孩子。那个时候,轰炸 即意味着无家可归,不过温妮弗瑞德却回顾道,“那种岁月,我母亲辈的女人根本不会独立生活,她们不知道该如何是好。”她的婆婆领着一个出嫁的女儿搬进温妮 弗瑞德的家,沃森太太又跟着搬来随女儿住。那就是写作生涯的句点了: 温妮弗瑞德娓娓道来,一点也不悲伤,倒是非常就事论事的口吻,“如果你不能独处,你是写不出来的。”六年之后,当她重新拥有自己的房子时,时机已逝,而她 也似乎没怎么抗拒就放弃了,她视写作为生命的另一段光阴里的往事了。      虽然她的六部小说可以归为两类,三部设定在19世纪的北国乡间,另三部则属当代,依次阅读它们时,你会发现很显著的一个特点,也就是它们彼此 大异其趣: 乡村型、历史小说、喜感的幻想、“穷丫头攀高枝”,以及剪不断家庭纠葛的战时谋杀案。不过它们都共享了一定的主题,同为当时典型的“女性小说”,因为它们 都关注女性的生活、她们如何渡过难关、历经考验直至无一例外获得幸福的结局。      今年早些时候,当我们见面时,温妮弗瑞德·沃森很肯定地认为,女人读女性小说,男人则读男性小说,这种情形在她写作的年代比如今也许更具有普 遍性。她的作品是以剧情来推动的: 落笔之前,她已明了将会发生什么。本质上讲,它们是好读的故事,自图书馆借阅复还的那种书,正像当温妮弗瑞德第一次说她可以写得比那种书更出色时、她自己 正沉湎其中的那种阅读一样,家人劝她尝试,便开启了之后的道路。在许多方面,温妮弗瑞德·沃森的乡村小说为凯瑟琳·库克森开了先河,后者的小说描述女性成 长奋斗,以及家庭冲突,意欲凌驾传统与律令,同时拨给女性生存乃至赢得幸福的空间。我未曾搜集到任何证据证明年轻的库克森读过温妮弗瑞德·沃森的小说,然 而仅就1930年代温妮弗瑞德·沃森的作品在纽卡斯尔红极一时,广为流传的程度而言,如若库克森未曾品读,倒是奇怪了。      这些小说共同的主题在于让女性拥有第二次机会,让她们适应变局,走向新生,正好像温妮弗瑞德·沃森对不同类型写作的尝试: 调舵扬帆是作为作家的她的一大特质。最后,她转变至不再当作家了,我对此很遗憾,但在她看来却不。她对我坦承“我度过了非常快乐的一生”。而透过《派蒂格 鲁小姐的大日子》,她写了一部非常快乐的小说。      亨莉艾塔·特维克罗斯·马汀      2000年于剑桥

一旦完成初次阅读,再到第二次第三次,回望这个自然过程追索意味,似乎有点无谓且书呆。不过我喜欢唐诺的各种引述,显见他温暖的个人偏好。比如《寒冬夜行 人》的读书段落,马尔克斯评海明威,还有海明威的诺奖致辞,老人与海式完败,疲惫,谨慎谦逊,真叫人落泪。这书一开始吸引我,在他说“作为一个读者”,典型的西化句--说实在非常多,措辞有待商榷,这一分句,却一开始就感动我。 唐诺谈李白:“即便在诗里头,我们知道李白也仍是个写友谊远远多于爱情的人,他是个浪漫而且很热情的人,但甚少关涉情爱,对女性不狎昵,偶尔写闺情,亦只 是个兴味盎然的旁观者,他的情感干干净净,时间的单位总是很大很大,没有那种动物性的只知当下欲念,连暗示都没有,他焦虑的是生途悠悠的时间,但从不质疑情感,像博尔赫斯所说的那样,友谊对他有种符咒般的魔力。” 唐诺的语文组织很漂亮,富于个人偏爱,散文充满灵气,这就是一例。但也不乏败例:“来看卡尔维诺所为我们引述..."不知为什么多一个“所”,位置也怪, “这不仅仅是因为书籍的制造是苦役,而阅读者是舒适大爷的好逸恶劳建议”,为什么要多出那么赘重的“的好逸恶劳云云”,完全可以停在“舒适大爷”,对比已经明显,唐诺喜欢很长的前缀,时不时插入语,中文功力硬朗,但句式非常西 化,该用的句读往往省略,我不时回头重新看。承认他写得很好,但不是没问题。我希望看到短劲,舒徐在后的中文,如果常常做英式调整,总是哪里不舒服他的好,在联想,在比喻,在感情,在隔开看的词,在尽力精准捕捉幽微思想,连着顺下来,我有时觉得语言隔。
