写作本身是一件比写作的技巧更重要、更深刻和更广泛的事情。这几乎也算得上是老生常谈,古今中外有不少文人学者都对此发出过自己的声音;但这也是一个容易被遗忘、被忽略的观点,尤其是当今中小学语文教育和高考作文中,对技巧和华丽辞藻的追求已经超过对“表露他的灵魂的深处”的渴望,学生作文常常堆满名言警句却看不到他自己的思想和性情,虚情假意泛滥,真情实感缺乏……因此,重申“文章不过是一人个性之表现和精神之活动”是十分有必要的。林语堂先生从其推崇的“性灵派”精神出发,从创作和欣赏两个角度对这个问题发表了自己的见解,加之他机智、幽默的行文笔调,给人以思想上和审美上的双重享受。 Writing itself is more important, more profound, and more extensive than writing skills. This can hardly be a cliché. Many literati and scholars in ancient and modern times have issued their own voices; but this is also an easily forgotten and neglected point of view, especially in today’s primary and secondary school language education and college entrance examination composition. The pursuit of skills and rhetoric has exceeded the desire to “express the depths of his soul.” Student writing is often full of famous aphorisms, but he does not see his own thoughts and dispositions, and his false feelings are overflowing with false feelings.... ... Therefore, it is necessary to reiterate that “the article is merely an expression of one’s personality and spiritual activity.” Mr. Lin Yutang starts from his spirit of “spiritualism” and expresses his opinions on this issue from both creative and appreciation perspectives. In addition, his witty and humorous writing styles give people an ideological and aesthetic double. enjoy.
