& gt& gt Even if Guan Ju, the first article in the Book of Songs, is taken as an example, the English level of the people translated into cooing and courtship (making love and courtship) is not lower than that of Harvard people. Smart words are far above British and American translators.
& gt& gt If we want to compare the Book of Songs with Homer's contemporary epics, Zhu Ziqing thinks that the Book of Songs uses the method of "comparing prosperity" to praise peaceful life, which is different from Homer's method of "comparing prosperity without prosperity" to praise war violence and heroism.
& gt& gt But he thinks literature is higher than life, because literature is a condensed life, philosophy is an evaporated life, poetry is a liquefied life, fiction is a solid life, and drama is an explosion of life.
& gt& gt He studied history and put forward the method of proving history with poetry. In his poem, he said, "Jade face has been abandoned since ancient times." It shows that the emperor's favor is often related to the rise and fall of the dynasty, so the study of Yang Guifei is the key to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Zhuan, written by him, also analyzes the cultural spirit between Ming and Qing Dynasties from the perspective of Yu Yan.
& gt& gt It can be seen that "jade is prosperous and useless" is not only in China, but also in the West.
& gt& gt However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as a Roman general, loved Li Furen, but he sacrificed his beauty for his country. He wrote a poem "Leaves Mourning for Cicada", but it was just a poem to prove history.
& gt& gt Liang Qichao said when talking about Du Fu's Shi Qu Guan: The more true the poem is, the more beautiful it is, so the truth is the truth of beauty. Truth or reality is ordinary, but beauty is not. If it really equals beauty, then one plus one is greater than two.
Flowing water at the source-the driving force of development
& gt& gt First-year boys from senior high schools in Jiangxi Province concentrated in Wanshou Palace in Xishan for a three-month military training. They get up before dawn every day and practice in the scorching sun with all their weapons. They have no freedom and have to stand guard at night. They are suffering from lack of sleep.
& gt& gt 1938 to 1939, Yang Zhenning and I are in the freshman English class in The National SouthWest Associated University. When Professor Ye Gongchao talked about Buck's Desolate Spring, there was a past participle of a verb that didn't mean passive meaning. The whole class didn't find it. Only Yang Zhenning asked questions. At that time, everyone thought that Yang Zhenning was eager to ask questions, which was actually a piece of cake. It was not until 1957 that he won the Nobel Prize in Physics that I realized that this was the result of his good at discovering abnormal phenomena. Before 1957, the physicist thought parity was conservative, but he could notice the phenomenon of non-conservation and won the grand prize. Eighteen years ago, he found that the past participle had no passive meaning, but it has shown his ability to find abnormal phenomena. This is an example where memory can act as a magnifying glass.
& gt& gt Translation is the unification of two languages.
& gt& gt How to unify? Converting the language of one country into the language of another country is unification. Between western countries, this is not difficult to do, because according to computer statistics, about 90% of the languages of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain can find equivalents, so it is easier to translate. But the situation between China and western languages is completely different.
& gt& gt Translation between western countries can basically be based on the theory of equivalence, while translation between China and the West, especially literary translation, is based on the theory of optimization and even creation.
& gt& gt By the second edition, I felt that the beauty of meaning was more important, and the beauty of sound was not as popular as the beauty of shape, so I resumed the original translation.
& gt& gt According to Feng Youlan, in ancient China, "the rule of rites and music" was to imitate the external order of nature, while "music" was to imitate the internal harmony of nature. If "ceremony" is the externalization of "goodness", then "music" is the externalization of "beauty".
> > Guan Ju, the first article in The Book of Songs, shows the education of "rites and music". The first paragraph of Guanju begins: "Guanju dove is in Hezhou." "Guan Guan" means "Gu Gu", which is the cry of pigeons or turtledoves. Because "goo goo" is a closed tone, it doesn't sound loud enough in poetry, so adding the vowel "an" means "goo goo", which sounds loud and pleasant.
Eve of college
& gt& gt! What is more interesting than reading for free? Willing to read, unwilling to read and play, reading and playing, people are happy. I remember reading before, but I was greedy for it. As a result, how many books have really received interest in this decade? Speaking of it, the past was really a waste of time, especially in the six-year middle school.
& gt& gt I remember reading one or two articles in bed after lunch, before class, or half an hour before I turned off my phone, and then I fell asleep in a daze, which was particularly delicious.
& gt& gt Mr. Feng Youlan is right. There are three factors in the process of success in life: 1 Genius, 2. Work hard and 3. Opportunity.
& gt& gt After reading a good English version, I came up with the idea of comparing the Chinese version with the English version.
Shi Ming Cai Feng
Wordsworth saw novelty in nature, Coleridge saw nature in novelty, Byron was a poet who expressed himself, Shelley was a poet who pursued ideals, and Keats was a poet who was intoxicated with beauty.
& gt& gt Teacher Wu not only recited poems by himself, but also asked us to recite more poems. There is a compulsory question in the entrance examination of Foreign Literature Institute of Tsinghua Research Institute, that is, memorizing one's favorite English poems.
& gt& gt He is best at sketching and thinks that the most important words in Plato's thought are "one" and "many": "one" refers to abstract concepts, such as square, circle, length and short; "Duo" refers to concrete things, such as square tables and round stools.
& gt& gt Plato believes that there are thoughts before things. If there is no concept of square table, how to make a square table? He also thinks that ideas are more real than things, because square things and round things are not as good as square ideas and round concepts anyway. Therefore, if a person loves the truth, in fact, the concept of love exceeds the love of things, and spiritual love exceeds the love of material, resulting in a Platonic view of spiritual love, which has a great influence on me later.
& gt& gt But once the idealized object becomes the real object, the ideal is shattered. Therefore, only unrealized ideals are perfect. Dante's lifelong love for Beat Liqi is precisely because she didn't become Mrs. Dante!
Mr. Qian Zhongshu and I
& gt& gt Qian Zhongshu's "This quality, embodied in words, is an endless stream of epigrams, because he is a genius epigram".
& gt& gt Feng Youlan commented on Jin Linyue like this: "His strength is that he can make very simple things complicated; My advantage is that I can make very complicated things very simple.
& gt& gt He summarized Confucius' political philosophy as "rites and music", briefly as "imitating the external order of nature" and "music" as "imitating the internal harmony of nature".
& gt& gt Wu Mi has always been an autobiographical writer, who likes to spare no effort to write and spit. He constantly lashed himself, confided to readers and showed his bloody heart. But the audience may not appreciate his feelings, mostly ridicule. "
& gt& gt I remember Mr. Qian's quip when he spoke English in his freshman year: To understand everything is to forgive everything. )
