两个月前看完了《围城》,一直想写点什么但总觉得没有灵感。今天翻到《围城》的评论页,见到那些批评和责备的文字,实在是忍不住要说些话了。这篇,是对《围城》的感想,也是对现在一种“什么都批判”现象的感想。 《围城》这本书,从我今次离开中国在火车上开始读起,到达斯...
评分钱钟书是比喻和通感的高手,也很懂得世故人情,加上学者式的幽默感,《围城》是个可以常看常新的书,这一类书的作者并不真诚,存了心要编一个好玩的故事哄骗读者,骗你的笑,你的泪,你的感叹,然后,他在丛中大笑。文革那些年,不知道为何这么聪明的一个人,非要拒绝剑桥牛津...
评分小时候看书时,就觉得方鸿渐是个倒霉的角色,被鲍小姐引诱,被苏小姐栽赃,被最爱的唐小姐抛弃,最后又要和个无甚特色的孙小姐将就一生,不禁暗生同情。我想不通钱锺书为什么要在笔下和这么个人过不去,他虽没有什么大功大德,却也没有伤天害理。他只是个活在现实种种无奈之...
评分一千个读者有一千个哈姆雷特,对于《围城》这样历经数十年洗礼的作品,我觉得可以说,一千个读者有一千五百个《围城》,伴随一代代读者的成长,每个人对《围城》看法也在发生变化,于是每个人对《围城》就有了一个,一个半,两个或是更多的理解,也有了二十岁的《围城》,四十...

The greatest Chinese novel of the twentieth century. Fortress Besieged is a classic of world literature, a masterpiece of parodic fiction that plays with Western literary traditions, philosophy, and middle-class Chinese society in the Republican era. Set on the eve of the Sino-Japanese War, our hapless hero Fang Hung-chien (à la Emma Bovary), with no particular goal in life and with a bogus degree from a fake American university in hand, returns home to Shanghai. On the French liner home, he meets two Chinese beauties, Miss Su and Miss Pao. Qian writes, "With Miss Pao it wasn't a matter of heart or soul. She hadn't any change of heart, since she didn't have a heart." In a sort of painful comedy, Fang obtains a teaching post at a newly established university where the effete pseudo-intellectuals he encounters in academia become the butt of Qian's merciless satire. Soon Fang is trapped into a marriage of Nabokovian proportions of distress and absurdity. Recalling Fielding's Tom Jones in its farcical litany of misadventures and Flaubert's "style indirect libre," Fortress Besieged is its own unique feast of delights. The translators Jeanne Kelly and Nathan K. Mao have breathed life into the English translation.
Kelly译的也是让人迷醉,把Chien那么油的半文半白的东西完全做成大白话...可惜了一部算是精品的华语小说了
评分大概是自己的水平不够,英文版总觉得读得不痛快

评分In a certain age, I did believe that marriage is like a fortress besiedged. I was the one outside, and still had enough curiosity left for marriage, I wanted to go in. Now I have none, and marriage to me, is like a war field constantly in turmoil. I decide to quit all my delusions left. BTW, the translation is as insipid as plain boiled water.
评分只是看完大半,因为看到最后一页才发现是不完整版。。。。而且兴趣已丧失,所以宣告we came to the end,
