自几年前《中国文学》的编辑第一次让我给黄新渠的译本《鲁迅的诗》(1 979)写书评以来,又有几次将鲁迅(1 881 - 1 936 )的古体诗译成英语的尝试,都以书的形式出版,并且有大量这方面的中文著作问世。从那时到现在,我在吸引其他学者去就其中的一些成果写评论方面的努力是徒劳无功 Since the first edition of “Chinese Literature” several years ago when I wrote a book review of Huang Xinqu’s translation of the poem “Lu Xun’s Poems” (1979), I translated it several times into Luxun (1891-1366) Attempts were published in the form of books, and a large number of Chinese writings in this field came out. From then till now I have been futile in my efforts to attract other scholars to write comments on some of these achievements
