About the Book

◎圖書簡介

作者於五十幾年以前來到美國,讀完書就在海外學術界走過一段長遠的路。「路漫漫其修遠兮,吾將上下而求索。」這本書涉及他久居異鄉的經歷、思維與感受,包括他對中國文化之依戀、對世事之牽掛與無奈、以及對故土的懷想與期待之情。其中的二十九篇散文及一封英文信,都是他自二○一六年以來的近作。

◎自序


我於一九六二年二月裡右手提一個大皮箱,左手拿著護照及X光片,在奧立岡州波特蘭的碼頭上岸,開始過留學生勤工儉學的日子;從那個時候起,已經在美國這片土地上居住了五十幾年了。海外居大不易,最先讀學位,日夜苦讀;後來在學界工作,求得一席之地。現在與我內人皆是退休之身,我不禁要問:做為一個深受中國文化薰陶的華裔讀書人,那裡才是我的家鄉呢?山東省青島市嗎?台灣嗎?還是這僑居多年的美國?


青島是我幼年成長之地,台灣大學校園裡的四年中,有我美好的回憶,美國讓我在學界求發展。余光中教授說過:「大陸是母親、台灣是妻子」,我們可以再加一項「美國是養母」。我在這養母家中住了這麼久,「夢裡不知身是客」、海外他鄉做家鄉。


可是,雖然已經有半個多世紀了,我的思維、談吐、甚至於生活習慣,以及為人處世的方式與態度,還是很中國化的。我特別喜歡讀中國古典文學作品,有空寫寫中文文稿。這本書中所收集的二十九篇文章與一封英文信,都是我自二○一六年以來的近作。


美國的社會結構比較複雜,「政治正確」大行其道,〈我讀〈傲慢與偏見〉〉一文就在討論這個問題。書中也有好幾篇散文說到讀書的樂趣,例如〈書海逍遙遊記趣〉等等。我在學界工作了多年,對於一些文友們至今仍念念不忘,〈我與方開泰教授的文字緣〉與〈從二○一七年諾貝爾醫學獎說起〉,就是有關這一方面。也有文章提到大陸及台灣的現狀,這兩個地方是我朝思暮想之處,非常不幸的,最近都出了一點事,例如在〈從蘇東坡到黃春明〉一文中,我說:「今日之台大己非昨日之台大了」。其他的一些短文涉及我個人及家庭之近況,諸如〈信用卡防盜記〉、〈家有六千金〉與〈就醫記〉等。並有文章是我讀過幾本書的隨想,就像書中最後那兩篇讀書報告。


我寫這本散記,是想藉陳述一部分個人的經驗與感受,來描繪出一個華裔讀書人久居異鄉之孤寂,其對世事之牽掛與無奈,以及對故土的懷想與期待之情。已經這麼多年了,還是身在海外心在漢,就以此書做為我旅居美國五十六個年頭的紀念品吧!


董永良/二○一八年六月於美國喬治亞州亞特蘭大市
