在近代学人中,钱锺书先生堪称是真正了解中学与西学、以其独特方式探讨中西学问的大学问家。钱先生的主要著作《谈艺录》和《管锥编》采取中国传统著述方式,分列条目评点古代经典和前人著述,每则评论往往只有数页,简短如笔记随感,在形式上与现代学术著作的写法很不相同。这些评论文字完全随思想的路径自然发展,行于所当行,止于不可不止,举凡文学、历史、哲学、心理学、语言学及其他领域,无所不包,无所分 Among modern scholars, Mr. Qian Zhongshu is a university student who truly understands middle school and western learning and explores Chinese and western learning with his unique style. Mr. Qian’s main works, “Tale of Yi Tan” and “Tuan Cone,” take the traditional Chinese way of writing, sorting out the ancient classical articles and the predecessors’ writings by commentaries. Each comment is usually only a few pages in length, as short as a note, Modern scholarly writing is very different. These commentary texts are fully developed with the path of thought. They are guided by the line of thought and must be endured as far as possible, taking all aspects of literature, history, philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and other fields into account.
