* 他相信善良、怜悯、快乐， 他穿露脚趾的鞋子上学，靠妻子的嫁妆留洋， 他至死怀念心爱的女子，却和妻子活出了半个世纪的金玉良缘； 幼时他穷得吃不起一碗素面，后来成了上海滩数一数二的富翁作家，住上了花园别墅，却为了发明一台没有投产的打字机，把十几万的家产打了水漂； 他因为幽默名动中国，又因为幽默而日夜被骂，却号称要钻牛角尖坚持到底； 长女如斯自缢而亡，他歇斯底里流泪说要笑着面对。 他是一个不可救药的乐天派，烟鬼，带孩子看脱衣舞的清教徒， 一个好儿子、好父亲、好丈夫、反教育的语言学博士，体育运动爱好者，无所顾忌的文人， 崇拜金钱，不爱面子，喜欢流泪，安静而好客，待人真诚，骂人不遗余力， 他是一个杂文家、小说家、散文集、翻译家， 他“坦率、诚恳、乐观、风趣；怀着一颗未泯的童心、保持一份我行我素的矜式，是现实主义的理想家，也是满腔热血的达观者”。 “纵令这尘世是一个黑暗的地牢，但我们总得尽力使生活美满。” 他如是说。 就是 他， 林语堂 Brief Introduction Lin Yutang (October 10, 1895 – March 26, 1976) was a Chinese writer and inventor. His informal but polished style in both Chinese and English made him one of the most influential writers of his generation, and his compilations and translations of classic Chinese texts into English were bestsellers in the West. After 1928 he lived mainly in the United States, where his translations of Chinese texts remained popular for many years. At the behest of Pearl Buck(赛珍珠）, he wrote My Country and My People (吾国与吾民) (1935) and The Importance of Living (生活的艺术) (1937), written in English in a charming and witty style, which became bestsellers. Others include Between Tears and Laughter (啼笑皆非) (1943), The Importance of Understanding (1960, a book of translated Chinese literary passages and short pieces), The Chinese Theory of Art (1967), and the novels Moment in Peking (京华烟云) (1939) and The Vermillion Gate (朱门) (1953). His many works represent an attempt to bridge the cultural gap between the East and the West. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature several times in the 1970s. With his unique facility for both Chinese and English idiom, Lin presided over the compilation of an outstanding Chinese-English dictionary, Lin Yutangs Chinese-English Dictionary of Modern Usage (林语堂当代汉英词典) (1972), which contains a massive English index to definitions of Chinese terms. The work was undertaken in Hong Kong, where Lin served for a time at the newly founded Chinese University. 林语堂与翻译 林语堂对中西方文化的了解以及其对中英两种语言炉火纯青的掌握为他在翻译方面的造诣奠定了重
