第一次读到林语堂的文章,是一篇叫做《灵与肉》的散文。时隔近一年了,印象还极为清晰。他说看着我们亲爱的入的脸蛋,我们就无法把情感表达出来。林语堂用他深刻平实的语言让我读到了他真实的感情。正如他所希望的,他并不想留下什么至理名言,而只想供认自己的思想和生活的经验。他想把自己的感悟作为私人的供状,但又恰恰愿意提供给读者无尽的遐想。 The first time I read Lin Yutang’s article is an essay called “Ling and Meat.” After nearly a year, the impression is still very clear. He said that when we look at our dear face, we cannot express our emotions. Lin Yutang used his profound and plain language to let me read his true feelings. As he had hoped, he did not want to leave behind a famous saying, but only wanted to confess his own thoughts and life experiences. He wanted to use his sentiments as a private confession, but he was just willing to provide readers with endless reverie.
