《幽梦影》——林语堂译 （房屋与家庭辑） 1 《幽梦影》——林语堂译 房屋与家庭——之一 抄写之笔墨不必过求其佳，若施之缣素则不可不求其佳。诵读之书籍不必过求其备，若以供 稽考则不可不求其备。游历之山水不必过求其妙，若因之卜居则不可不求其妙。 辟疆曰：外遇之女色不必过求其美，若以作姬妾则不可不求其美。 永清曰：观其区处条理，所在经济可知。 One need not be too particular about pen and ink when doing copy work, but should be particular when writing things to be framed. Also one can have a random collection of books for reading, but should insist on good, adequate reference works. Likewise, what landscape one sees in passing in travel is not too important, but that of the place where one is going to build a house and settle down is of prime importance. Pichiang: Women with whom one has casual affairs need not be especially beautiful, but the mistress one is going to live with at home must be. Yungching: There is a sense of relative importance shown in Pichiang’s statement. 房屋与家庭——之二 忙人园亭宜与住宅相连，闲人园亭不妨与住宅相远。 竹坡曰：真闲人必以园亭为住宅。 A busy man must plan to have his garden next to his house, but a man of leisure can afford to have it some distance away. Chupo: A real man of leisure would make the garden his home. 房屋与家庭——之三 1 《幽梦影》——林语堂译 （房屋与家庭辑） 园亭之妙在丘壑布置，不在雕绘琐屑。往往见人家园亭屋脊墙头雕砖镂瓦，非不穷极工巧， 然未久即坏，坏后极难修葺，是何如朴素之为佳乎。 弟木山曰：予尝悟作园亭与作光棍二法，园亭之善在多回廊，光棍之恶在能结讼。 The essential thing in a garden with terraces is plan and composition, and not ornamental details. I have often seen homes which expended a great deal of effort on such carvings and ornamentations. These are difficult to keep in good condition and costly in repairs. Better have a simpler taste. [Younger brother] Mushan: It occurred to me that house gardens and crooks have something in common; garden homes achieve their effect by deceptive curving corridors, and crooks and cheats play the same game of hide-and-seek with the law. 房屋与家庭——之四 艺花可以邀蝶，累石可以邀云，栽松可以邀风，贮水可以邀萍，筑台可以邀月，种蕉可以邀 雨，植柳可以邀蝉。 （曹）秋岳曰：藏书可以邀友。
