?差不多是一口氣讀完the moon and sixpence的，雖然讀的是英文版，但很久沒這種不讀完就放不下的感覺了。經(jīng)典就是經(jīng)典，天才就是天才。作者以第一人稱的身份進(jìn)行陳述，像是小說，又像是給讀者講了一個(gè)故事。一個(gè)四十歲的成功證券經(jīng)紀(jì)人拋棄美麗的妻子和兩個(gè)孩子追求藝術(shù)的故事，我感覺他是一個(gè)只醉心于藝術(shù)的cynicism（犬儒主義者），不關(guān)心身外的一切事物。在巴黎，他窮困潦倒，但是另一個(gè)畫家的妻子還愛上了他，結(jié)果他在給她畫完畫以后就對(duì)她沒感覺了，她只能自殺。后面他又為了藝術(shù)逃到南太平洋的一個(gè)島上，在那直至為藝術(shù)獻(xiàn)身。
? ? ?月亮代表高高在上的理想，六便士則是現(xiàn)實(shí)的代表。作品表現(xiàn)了天才、個(gè)性與物質(zhì)文明以及現(xiàn)代婚姻、家庭生活之間的矛盾，有著廣闊的生命視角，用散發(fā)著消毒水味道的手術(shù)刀對(duì)皮囊包裹下的人性進(jìn)行了犀利地解剖，混合著看客訕笑的幽默和殘忍的目光。我在想如果這個(gè)故事不是毛姆寫的，如果換成渡邊淳一，那那種場(chǎng)面和心理描寫肯定占著大部分篇幅，如果換成希區(qū)柯克，我估計(jì)我都不會(huì)吃飯都要把它看完。但是，兩者給人的震撼都沒有毛姆來的深刻，我覺得這書給男人看好點(diǎn)，里面對(duì)愛情，生活的態(tài)度因?yàn)槭菑乃囆g(shù)家的角度來分析的，不免有些偏激，但我還是很喜歡，抄幾句。
? ? ?常人對(duì)生活的態(tài)度:The great majority are perfectly content to do the ordinary thing.It is not true that suffering ennobles the character,happiness does that sometimes ,but suffering,for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.
? 那位出軌的女人是這樣的：Perhaps Stroeve's passion excited without satisfying that part of her nature,and she hated Strickland because she felt in him the power to give her what she needed.
? ? ? ?對(duì)于愛情：Love is absorbing,it takes the lover out of himself.it gives body to what he knows is illusion,and ,knowing it is nothing else,he loves it better than reality.
? ? 大家玩牌下棋的時(shí)候要注意了：Those who think that a man betrays his character nowhere more clearly than when he is playing a game might on this draw subtle inferences.
?關(guān)于女人為愛自殺：Women are constantly trying to commit suicide for love,but generally they take care not to succed. It's generally a gesture to arause pity or terror in their lover.
? ? ?還有好多，語言很美很有哲理，太難打字就不打啦。超級(jí)喜歡結(jié)尾那句“He remembered the days when you could get thirteen Royal Natives for a shilling”,壓縮了多少信息和無奈。最后，翻譯里面一句也很經(jīng)典的句子。
? ?“為什么討人喜歡的女人總是嫁給蠢物啊？” “因?yàn)橛心X子的男人是不娶討人喜歡的女人的?！惫?！
