1995簡(jiǎn).奧斯丁的小說都是三五戶人家居家度日，婚戀嫁娶的小事。因此不少中國(guó)讀者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的聲譽(yù)。但一部小說開掘得深不深，藝術(shù)和思想是否有過人之處，的確不在題材大小。有人把奧斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄欖。這不僅因?yàn)樗恼Z言精彩，并曾對(duì)小說藝術(shù)的發(fā)展有創(chuàng)造性的貢獻(xiàn)，也因?yàn)樗妮p快活潑的敘述實(shí)際上并不那么淺白，那么透明。史密斯夫人說過，女作家常常試圖修正現(xiàn)存的價(jià)值秩序，改變?nèi)藗儗?duì)“重要”和“不重要”的看法。也許奧斯丁的小說能教我們學(xué)會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)換眼光和角度，明察到“小事”的敘述所涉及的那些不小的問題。參考譯文：However,subjectmatterisindeednotthedecisivefactorbywhichwejudgeanovelofitsdepthaswellas(of)itsartisticappealandideologicalcontent(or:astowhetheranoveldigsdeepornotorwhetheritexcelsinartisticappealandideologicalcontent).SomepeoplecompareAusten’sworkstoolives:themoreyouchewthem,themoretasty(thetastier)theybecome.Thiscomparisonisbasednotonlyon(Thisisnotonlybecauseof)herexpressivelanguageandhercreativecontributiontothedevelopmentofnovelwritingasanart,butalsoon(becauseof)thefactthatwhathidesbehindherlightandlivelynarrativeissomethingimplicitandopaque(notsoexplicitandtransparent).Mrs.Smithonceobserved,womenwritersoftensought(madeattempts)torectifytheexistingvalueconcepts(orders)bychangingpeople’sopinionsonwhatis“important”andwhatisnot.1996近讀報(bào)紙，對(duì)國(guó)內(nèi)名片和請(qǐng)柬的議論頗多，于是想起客居巴黎時(shí)經(jīng)常見到的法國(guó)人手中的名片和請(qǐng)柬，隨筆記下來，似乎不無借鑒之處。在巴黎，名目繁多的酒會(huì)，冷餐會(huì)是廣交朋友的好機(jī)會(huì)。在這種場(chǎng)合陌生人相識(shí)，如果是亞洲人，他們往往開口之前先畢恭畢敬地用雙手把自己的名片呈遞給對(duì)方，這好像是不可缺少的禮節(jié)。然而，法國(guó)人一般卻都不大主動(dòng)遞送名片，雙方見面寒暄幾句，甚至海闊天空地聊一番也就各自走開，只有當(dāng)雙方談話投機(jī)，希望繼續(xù)交往時(shí)，才會(huì)主動(dòng)掏出名片。二話不說先遞名片反倒顯得有些勉強(qiáng)。參考譯文：InParis,cocktailpartiesandbuffetreceptionsofdifferentkindsoffergreatopportunitiesformakingfriends.Onsuchoccasions,strangersmaygettoknoweachother.IftheyareAsians,theywill,veryrespectfullyandwithbothhands,presenttheircallingcardstotheirinterlocutorsbeforeanyconversationstarts.Thisseemstobetherequiredcourtesyontheirpart.TheFrench,however,usuallyarenotsoreadywithsuchaformality.Bothsideswillgreeteachother,andevenchatcasuallyaboutanytopicandthenexcusethemselves.Onlywhentheyfindtheylikeeachotherandhopetofurthertherelationshipwilltheyexchangecards.Itwillseemveryunnaturaltodosobeforeanyrealconversationgetsunderway.1997C-E原文：來美國(guó)求學(xué)的中國(guó)學(xué)生與其他亞裔學(xué)生一樣，大多非?？炭嗲趭^，周末也往往會(huì)抽出一天甚至兩天的時(shí)間去實(shí)驗(yàn)室加班，因而比起美國(guó)學(xué)生來，成果出得較多。我的導(dǎo)師是亞裔人，嗜煙好酒，脾氣暴躁。但他十分欣賞亞裔學(xué)生勤奮與扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，也特別了解亞裔學(xué)生的心理。因此，在他實(shí)驗(yàn)室所招的學(xué)生中，除有一名來自德國(guó)外，其余5位均是亞裔學(xué)生。他干脆在實(shí)驗(yàn)室的門上貼一醒目招牌：“本室助研必須每周工作7天，早10時(shí)至晚12時(shí)，工作時(shí)間必須全力以赴。”這位導(dǎo)師的嚴(yán)格及苛刻是全校有名的，在我所呆的3年半中，共有14位學(xué)生被招進(jìn)他的實(shí)驗(yàn)室，最后博士畢業(yè)的只剩下5人。1990年夏天，我不顧別人勸阻，硬著頭皮接受了導(dǎo)師的資助，從此開始了艱難的求學(xué)旅程。參考譯文：Mytutor/supervisorwasofAsiandescentwhodrankandsmokedalot(hadahabitofdrinkingandsmoking)andwasquitehot/short/quick-tempered.However,hehighlyappreciatedAsianstudentsfortheirdiligenceandsolidcommandoffundamentalknowledge(headmiredthediligenceofAsianstudentsandtheirfirmgroundinginscience),andheknewwellaboutwhattheythoughtandhowtheyfelt.Thatwaswhyofthe6studentsadmittedtohislabthatyear5wereofAsiandescentwithonlyonefromGermany.Onthedoorofhislabtherewasaneye-catchingnoticewhichread,”Labassistantsmustworkwithdevotionfrom10a.m.to12p.m.,7daysaweek.’Harshanddemanding,thetutorhadearnedacampus-widereputationforhisstrictnesswithstudents.Duringthe3andahalfyearswhenIstayedwithhim,atotalof14studentswereadmittedtohislabbutonly5succeededintakingtheirdoctoraldegrees/managedtocompletetheirPh.D.studies.19981997年2月24日我們代表團(tuán)下榻日月潭中信大飯店，送走了最后一批客人，已是次日凌晨3點(diǎn)了。我躺在床上久久不能入睡，披衣走到窗前，往外看去，只見四周峰巒疊翠，湖面波光粼粼。望著臺(tái)灣這僅有的景色如畫的天然湖泊，我想了許多，許多……這次到臺(tái)灣訪問交流，雖然行程匆匆，但是，看了不少地方，訪了舊友，交了新知，大家走到一起，談?wù)摰囊粋€(gè)重要話題就是中華民族在21世紀(jì)的強(qiáng)盛。雖然祖國(guó)大陸、臺(tái)灣的青年生活在不同的社會(huì)環(huán)境中，有著各自不同的生活經(jīng)歷，但大家的內(nèi)心都深深銘刻著中華文化優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)的印記，都擁有著振興中華民族的共同理想。在世紀(jì)之交的偉大時(shí)代，我們的祖國(guó)正在走向繁榮富強(qiáng)，海峽兩岸人民也將加強(qiáng)交流，共同推進(jìn)祖國(guó)統(tǒng)一大業(yè)的早日完成。世紀(jì)之交的寶貴機(jī)遇和巨大挑戰(zhàn)將青年推到了歷史前臺(tái)?？缡兰o(jì)青年一代應(yīng)該用什么樣的姿態(tài)迎接充滿希望的新世紀(jì)，這是我們必須回答的問題。日月潭水波不興，仿佛與我一同在思索……參考譯文：ThevisittoTaiwanwasbusybutfruitful.Wewenttomanyplacesandmademanynewfriendsaswellasmeetingwitholdones.Whenweweretogether,thetopicforcommonconcernwasabouthowtobuildastrongerandmoreprosperousChinainthecoming21stcentury.Althoughwe(youngpeoplefromthemainlandandthosefromTaiwanlivein)arefromdifferentsocialenvironmentwithdifferentlifeexperiences,weallhavethefinetraditionoftheChineseculturedeeplyengraveduponourheartandweallsharethecommondreamofrevitalizingourChinesenation.Inthisgreattrans-centurytimeswhenourmotherlandismarchingtowardsprosperity,thereshouldbemorefrequentcontactsbetweenpeoplefromthetwosidesoftheTaiwanStraitssothatthey/wecanworktogetherforanearlierreunificationofthemotherland.Opportunitiesaswellaschallengesprovidedbytheturnofthecenturyhavepushedustothestageofthehistory.Whatshouldweyouth,across-centurygeneration,dotowelcome/embracethenewcenturyofhope?Thisisaquestionwe(allhavetoanswer)cannotshun.1999C-E原文：加拿大的溫哥華1986年剛剛度過百歲生日，但城市的發(fā)展令世界矚目。以港立市，以港興市，是許多港口城市生存發(fā)展的道路。經(jīng)過百年開發(fā)建設(shè)，有著天然不凍良港的溫哥華，成為舉世聞名的港口
