艾兹拉·庞德的《诗章》把美国诗歌现代主义进程与孔子的持久的重要性结合了起来。我写这篇文章,不是作为儒家思想的权威,而是作为一个西方读者,庞德对孔丘及其作品满怀激情,对中国及其文化传统非常关注。儒家思想可以为人类进步提供制衡、矫正,甚或计划,绝大多数地区的政治文化问题都已相当严重,足以产生如庞德在1937年的一篇文章标题所说的“对孔子的迫切需要”。 Ezra Pound’s Poetry combines the ongoing process of American poetry modernism with the lasting importance of Confucius. I wrote this article not as an authority on Confucianism, but as a Western reader, Pound is passionate about Confucius and his work and is very concerned about China and its cultural tradition. Confucianism can provide checks, corrections, or even plans for the progress of mankind. The political and cultural problems in most regions have become quite serious enough to produce the urgent need for Confucius, as one of Pound’s essay title in 1937 said ".
