论文部分内容阅读
12岁那年,我读了《艾凡赫》的节略本,决定要象瓦尔特·司各特那样当个小说家。可是我并没有立刻着手,而是把《艾凡赫》抄录在练习本上。母亲发现后,奚落我是在浪费时间。她的话使我很难过。 12年以后,在伦敦,我再次产生了强烈的创作欲望。这一次,我不再打算抄录别人的作品了。当时,实录这个概念一直在我的头脑里萦绕着,我十分幼稚地认为某些杰出的作品,譬如詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《一个青年艺术家的画象》就是作者生活的实录。因此,当我着手写自己的传记的时候,决定摒弃一切虚构的东西。当然,这种干巴巴的材料是不会拥有很多读者的——不久我就发现了这个问题,甚至连我自己看了几页以后也懒得再往下看了。
At the age of 12, I read the abridged version of Epan, deciding to be a novelist like Walter Scott. But I did not immediately start, but the “Ai Van He” copied in the exercise book. After the mother was found, I was wasting time ridiculing. Her words made me sad. Twelve years later, in London, I once again had a strong desire to create. This time, I no longer intend to copy others’ works. At that time, the concept of Record had been lingering in my mind. I was naive to think that some outstanding works, such as James Joyce’s “Portrait of a Young Artist,” is a memoir of the author’s life. So when I started writing my own biography, I decided to abandon everything imaginary. Of course, this dry material does not have a lot of readers - I soon discovered this problem, even after I read a few pages too lazy to look down.
