About the Book

作者董永良教授在此書中所收集的三十多篇短文,皆為他的近作;前部份是一般性的散文,後面則與他從事的教研工作歷程有關,稱為「我闖蕩學術界的那些人和事兒」。


目前這世界正處於動盪不安之時期,做為海外的華裔讀書人,要有一點我國古人處亂世的智慧,方能在異地求生存。此外,想到在這一生中所碰到的機遇與機緣,就覺得自己一定要懂得惜福呀!珍惜幸運的讀書與工作機會,珍惜可貴的師恩、友情與親情,珍惜己之所有,不要去貪戀己之所無;對人要寬厚、誠懇,少一份苛求,多一層包容,這就是本書中所想要表達的一種意境。

◎自序


一九八三年春季學期,我在我教書的學校獲得學術休假,去史丹福大學統計系與數學系訪問,從事研究工作四個月。史大是位於加州灣區的 Palo Alto,被幾位華裔學者音譯為「跑了丫頭」,十分逗趣。跑了丫頭大街上有一家中餐館「喜福居」,名字很有古意,它是由一位周姓大廚主理廚政,所以飯館的英文名字是Chef Chu,這英文名字唸起來不就是喜福居嗎!原來在名校旁邊開餐館取名都有學問,要帶一點書卷氣。

一九八四年秋天,我來到喬治亞理工學院數學系,我們全家遷來亞特蘭大,開始找房子,尋尋覓覓,終於在年底以前遷入這幢新居,一住就是三十多年。剛住進來時孩子們還小,除了兒子在德州上大學,兩個女兒都是在這裡長大的,房子跟人一樣,時間久了就有感情。現在我與我內人皆是退休之身,三個孩子都受到很好的教育,有滿意的工作與幸福的家庭生活。我曾經讀過幾本佛書,開始了解惜福之深意,就把那家餐館的名字改了一個字,稱我們的居所為「惜福居」。每天告訴自己做人要寬厚,講話與為文要謹慎,不可傷害別人。上蒼對我們這一家竟是如此眷顧,我們一定要懂得惜福呀!

我在二○一三年以前寫過的一些東西,絕大部分都已經選錄在《回首學算路:一個旅美學算者的故事》與《文章千古事:董永良自選集》那兩本書中。在最近這幾年,我又陸陸續續寫了一些短文,其中有兩、三篇是根據以前的材料改寫而成;有幾篇曾經在報刊上刊登過,其他的則於寫後歸檔,並未示人。我這是想到那裡寫到那裡,稱之為隨筆,並無不可。我最近把這些文稿合併成一個檔案,取名為《惜福居隨筆》。前面一部分稿件是一般性的散文;第二部分涉及我在讀書與從事教研工作時所遇到的人和事,便取名為「我闖蕩學術界的那些人和事兒」。

現在這本書即將付梓,我很感激 EHG Books 出版公司諸位小姐先生們的密切合作。最後,還要謝謝我內人愛娟以及三位子女成華、蓓蒂與莉莉,他們多年來對我的支持、寬容與愛護,是我唸佛時修來的福份吧!這就更當善加珍惜。
