我非常喜欢读林语堂先生的《苏东坡传》,前后读过多少遍都记不清了,但每次总觉得语堂先生把苏东坡在黄州的境遇和心态写得太理想了。语堂先生酷爱苏东坡的黄州诗文,因此由诗文渲染开去,由酷爱渲染开去,渲染得通体风雅、圣洁。其实,就我所知,苏东坡在黄州还是很凄苦的,优美的诗文,是对凄苦的挣扎和超越。……苏东坡的这种自省,不是一种走向乖巧的心理调整,而是一种极其诚 I very much like to read Mr. Lin Yutang’s “Su Dongpo Biography.” I can’t remember how many times I read it before and after, but every time I always feel that Mr. Yu Tang has made Su Dongpo’s situation and mentality in Huangzhou too satisfactory. Mr. Yu Tang loves Su Dongpo’s poetry in Huangzhou. Therefore, he renders his poetry and rendition of the poetry. In fact, as far as I know, Su Dongpo is still very bitter in Huangzhou. The beautiful poetry is the struggle and transcendence of bitterness. ... This kind of self-reflection of Su Dongpo is not a kind of psychological adjustment that leads to well-behaved but an extremely honest one.
