奇文共赏
译海一粟

除去正文中提到的屈原,李贺,干宝,苏轼,几尊在中国文学史俱有一席之地的“上古大神”,这个一生未仕,自认“冷淡萧条”“落溷之花”的大户人家私塾先生,也曾致意八百年前几十里外的一位段姓老前辈。

段成式的出生地,今天有近80万人口,而知之者多不逾千。他离世一两百年后,苏州人范仲淹随母改嫁,到此处一户朱姓人家。过后近1000年,这位诗文政绩俱佳的文正公,被身不由己稀里糊涂安排成了当地名人,此地也自号“范公故里”——不仅俗套,显然也违背当事人意愿。

看过英文版『出师表』,『浮生六记』,『阿Q正传』,也尝试去欣赏英译的唐诗宋词。和苏曼殊之于拜伦作品,那种升华一般的琅琅雅致相比,中文作品被翻译为英语后,大多数直白,缺韵,张力和想象力不足,如龙失目 少了魂魄。

孔子少孤,不知父亲葬在哪儿。母亲去世,无法合葬。于是把母亲的灵柩殡(停放)于五父衢头,也就是街上。果然有知道的人告诉孔子,他父亲的墓的位置。孔子才能使父母合葬。 蒲自序是说自己故事的来源是道听途说
