我平生受苦了文学的纠缠,我想丢掉它也不知道有过多少次了。小的时候便喜欢读《楚辞》、《庄子》、《史记》、《唐诗》,但在一九一三年出省的时候,我便全盘把它们丢了。一九一四年正月我初到日本来的时候,只带着一部《文选》。这是一三年的年底在北京琉璃厂的旧书店里买的。走的时候本来也想丢掉它,是我大哥劝我,没有把它丢掉。但我在日本的起初一两年,它被丢在我的箱里,没有取出来过。 I’ve been suffering literature all my life, I do not want to lose it and I do not know how many times. When I was young, I like to read “Chu Ci”, “Zhuangzi”, “Historical Records” and “Tang Poetry.” When I went to the province in 1913, I totally lost them. When I first arrived in Japan in the first month of 1914, I brought only one “essay.” It was bought by the end of a three-year old bookstore in Beijing’s Liulichang. When I was going to also want to lose it, my brother advised me not to throw it away. But I was in Japan in the first year or two, it was thrown in my case, did not take out before.
