Foreigners, understanding of Chinese gardens.
外国人,中国园林的认识。
In 1989, I was readjusting to life, beyond
Somerset Maugham's Fiji [i]
Meanwhile, the late Maggie Keswick, had
written the foreword to Alison Hardie’s
translation of Yuan Ye [ The Craft of gardens ]
 the first surviving [ if not the first ever
written ] manual, on Chinese landscape
gardening;
by Ji Cheng [ Ji Wupi ] pen-name “ The
Negative Daoist,” and originally written
between1631-1634.
1989年,我被调整到生命,超越W.Somerset毛姆
的斐济[I]
与此同时,麦琪后期凯瑟克,写了前言;
袁野,园林工艺,翻译由艾莉森哈迪,作家。
第一个幸存[如果不是第一,有史以来]手册,
对中国园林景观;
由吉承[姬屋辟]笔名,道教阴性,最初写,
1631年至1634年之间。
[i]
apart from imagining Pacific scenes, from the time of W. Somerset
Maugham, back in 1922, when he published the book -
On a Chinese Screen: Sketches of Life in China;
it focused on Westerner’s struggles to accept, adapt or understand, the
enormity of cultural differences, they encountered in China.
[I]
除了太平洋想象的场景,从威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆的时间,早在1922年,当他
出版的书,
在一个中国屏风 - 在中国的生活素描;
它着眼于西方人的斗争,以接受,适应和理解,文化差异的艰巨性,他们在
中国的遭遇。
In her closing paragraphs back in 1989, the late
Maggie Keswick [ Western authority on Chinese
gardens ] leaves readers, with poignant reminders and
foresight:
# Foreigners / Tourists – understanding of Chinese
gardens and
# Preservation – the balance, between man and
nature.
在她的结尾段落,张曼玉晚凯瑟克[对中国园林的西方
权威]叶读者而言,用凄美的提醒和先见之明,早在
1989年:
#外国人/游客 - 中国园林的理解和
#保存 - 平衡,人与自然之间。
# To see Chinese gardens, through
Chinese eyes?
要了解中国园林,透过中国的眼睛?
# Foreigners / Tourists, suffering from
visual indigestion?
外国人/游客从视觉消化不良的痛苦?
# Swamped with visitors / swarmed over
rocks.
与游客淹没/涌上了岩石。
# Earth stamped dry and lifeless.
地球加盖干,毫无生气。
To quote the late Maggie Keswick:
“the world of men has breached the lime-washed walls”
要引用已故张曼玉凯瑟克的话:
“男人的世界已违反石灰洗的墙壁”
Finding a balance, between tourism number
commercialization & shattered tranquility.
找到一个平衡点,旅游人数和商品化破碎宁静之间。
……..seeking retreat, from the world's dust.
………寻求撤退,从世界的灰尘。
