这个序言,本该由林建法先生来写,但他委约于我;而我则却之不恭,受之有愧。正为难时,忽想它何尝不是一种陌生化呢?一个专事外国文学研究的人,偶尔涉足中国文学,非特无妨,且或应该。想我前辈钱锺书和杨绛,以及冯至、傅雷、卞之琳、李健吾或者稍远一点的鲁郭茅、巴老曹诸公等,也曾一脚向外,一脚在内。他们的翻译、写作和批评也都中西合璧、古今融通。于是,我决定试试,何况我曾对周遭文友,如莫言、贾平凹、格非、劳马等多少有过评骘。 This preface was supposed to be written by Mr. Lin Jianfa, but he was appointed to me; but I was disrespectful and deserved. Is hard, suddenly think it is not a defamiliar it? A specialist in foreign literature, occasionally involved in Chinese literature, non-special, and or should. My predecessors Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang, as well as Feng Zhi, Fu Lei, Bian Zhilin, Li Jianwu or slightly farther Lu Guo Mao, Pakistan old Cao Zhu Gong, also kicked outward, kicked. Their translations, writing and criticism are also Chinese and Western, ancient and modern. So, I decided to try, not to mention I have on the surrounding texts, such as Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa, Ge Fei, Rauma and so on how many have had criticism.
