葉嘉瑩先生一生從事中國(guó)古典詩詞的教研,擅長(zhǎng)以深入淺出的文字,把當(dāng)代西方文學(xué)概念融匯、應(yīng)用于中國(guó)古典詩詞的探討和詮釋,以直悟配合精析,見解獨(dú)到,卓然成家。除了研究詩詞,葉先生也自己創(chuàng)作詩詞!丢(dú)陪明月看荷花葉嘉瑩詩詞選譯》即是從葉先生歷年所作詩詞中選取六十余首,由陶永強(qiáng)譯成英文,謝琰配以詩詞相應(yīng)的書法作品,結(jié)集出版。
細(xì)讀《獨(dú)陪明月看荷花葉嘉瑩詩詞選譯》中的作品,可以體會(huì)葉先生堅(jiān)毅不拔的精神,從中可見其頓悟人生種種的困苦,終能升華自我,予人的啟迪無窮。
葉先生生日的時(shí)候談到自己的一生時(shí)說:以無生的覺悟做有生的事業(yè),以悲觀的心情過樂觀的生活。在近一個(gè)世紀(jì)的歲月中,雖然歷經(jīng)種種苦難,但先生對(duì)理想的追求,對(duì)未來生活的想往,對(duì)中國(guó)古典詩歌和傳統(tǒng)文化的至愛,始終如一,從未有半點(diǎn)改變。誦讀先生的詩作,我們不僅領(lǐng)略到作品的柔婉與至情至性,而且深切感受到先生內(nèi)心的堅(jiān)定、光明與大愛。
本書由譯者陶永強(qiáng)先生選篇,選取了葉嘉瑩先生從少年時(shí)期到耄耋之年的詩詞曲作品六十余首,譯成英文,并由書法家謝琰先生以行書抄錄詩作,為本書增色。
隨書附贈(zèng)三鼠同心藏書票,作為同為鼠年出生的作者、譯者和書者的友誼見證。
