一种文化,总是扎根在自己的土地上的。换言之,如果谁打算把自己民族的文化向别的民族输出,在别人的土地上长出与自己的文明一样的花朵,他难免失败;反过来,如果谁想把别国的文明原封不动地移植到自己的土地上来,也总会劳而无功。读过法国作家亨利·特罗亚的长篇历史小说《异国之恋》之后,给我印象最深的,就是这一点,尤其是后一点。 A culture that is always rooted in its own land. In other words, if one wants to export his own ethnic culture to other peoples and grow the flowers of his own civilization on other people’s land, he will inevitably fail; on the other hand, if one wants to keep the civilization of another country intact Transplanted to their own land, it will always work without power. This is the point that has most often impressed me, especially the latter, after having read the long history novel “The Love of a Foreign Country” by the French writer Henri Troia.
