林语堂《生活的艺术》英文版 Lin Yutang The Importance Of Living (1937) |
艺术应该是一种讽刺文学,对我们麻木了的情感、死气沉沉的思想和不自然的生活下的一种警告。它教我们在矫饰的世界里保持着朴实真挚。享受悠闲生活当然比享受奢侈生活便宜得多。要享受悠闲的生活,只要一种艺术家的性情,一种全然悠闲的情绪中,去消遣一个闲暇无事的下午。 全世界大多数的外国人只知道中国有两大文人:一位是德天地的孔夫子,一位是学贯中西的林语堂。而《生活的艺术》正是林语堂在华人世界最重要的代表作。 ——《联合报》书评 读完这本书后,我真想跑到唐人街,一遇见中国人,便向他行个鞠躬礼。 ——书评家 Peter Precott
林语堂两脚踏东西文化,一心评宇宙文章。有史以来,中国人直接用英文写中国,最成功的有两位,一个是辜鸿铭,一位是林语堂。 ——《纽约时报》书评 The Importance of Living is a wry, witty antidote to the dizzying pace of the modern world. Lin Yutang's prescription is the classic Chinese philosophy of life: Revere inaction as much as action, invoke humor to maintain a healthy attitude, and never forget that there will always be plenty of fools around who are willing-indeed, eager-to be busy, to make themselves useful, and to exercise power while you bask in the simple joy of existence.At a time when we're overwhelmed with wake-up calls, here is a refreshing, playful reminder to savor life's simple pleasures.
