第一章 姓名的意义
“姓名本来是没有意义的;我们叫做玫瑰的这一种花,要是换个名字,它的香味还是同样的芬芳。”
尽管有此说法,但我仍 认为,选名择字十分重要。取名字从来都应细心。因为,姓名有其含义,会影响到友情,或招致偏见。我们中国人对此很是在意。男孩一出生,父亲或祖父就按其属 相取名字,保其长大后功成名就,或实现家人的心愿。所以,“福”、“荣”、“寿”、“成”在中国很是普遍,还有其他吉祥的用字。女孩的名字大多取自花果或 树木。人们十分小心,不取含贬义的名字。但在华盛顿,我曾在电梯里遇见一个人,叫“棺材”。我要是担心这电梯变成棺材,这不大为过吧?另有一次,我碰到一 人,叫“死亡”。我一听到他的名字,就想逃之天天。我可不想去死。我并不迷信,我常同十三个人在一张饭桌上进餐,周五出门旅行也毫不犹豫。我经常做些中国 迷信人士不会做的事情。但是,遇见叫“棺材”或叫“死亡”的人,我却难以承受。我虽不迷信,但对这类名字却有些反感。
同样重要,或许更重要的是,给国家取名字。当美利坚一些州独立时,他们自称“美利坚合众国”,这是个喜庆的想法。
Preface
世 界诸国,中国人最感兴趣的,是美国。初时,一千人离别英国,探索这块土地.后来,人数渐多,来自其他国度的人也漂移到此,人口扩增。而统治他们的,则是来 自那一千人家乡的官吏。当他们觉得待遇不公时,便奋而反抗,对统治者、世上最强大的国家发起了战事。七年血战,艰苦卓绝,双方死伤贏千赢万;但年轻一族, 挣脱了老朽一族的桎梏,英国被迫承认美利坚各州独立。此后,在相对较短的一百三十年间,这些革命者及其后人,不仅建立了世界上最富有的合众国,还成为所有 强国都尊听其言的一族。
起初的国土,不过中国一两个省份大小,但通过购买和其他方法,逐渐扩大,至今已经从大西洋,延伸至太平洋沿岸,北至长年冰 雪不化的冻土,南达如赤道新加坡一样炎热的阳光地带。这个年轻共和国已经在文学、科学、艺术和发明等领域,造就众多杰出男女人士。那里,不少人年轻时一文 不名,但以其坚韧不拔,以其经营才干,成为巨富。那里,世上最富有的人可能过着简朴节俭的生活,毫无奢华炫耀,每曰走在街上,身边无仆人伺候左右。他们许 多人极为富有,竟不知如何花用。外国很多伯爵、公爵甚至王子,拜倒在其富有、漂亮的女儿裙下;其中一些育有子嗣,作了外国高级官员。那里,有富人腾出时 间,捐出财富,用于慈善事业;有时不仅捐赠本国图书馆,更捐赠世界各地的图书馆。那里,私刑受到包涵,无法阻止;杀人者,借助奇异的法律过程,可逃脱极刑 惩罚。那里,有人最适于维护和平,几乎每年为此召集会议。
