内容简介 《美国的智慧》讲述了：林语堂用美妙的英文向世界介绍中国人和中国历史文化，但是，囿于所处时代、社会环境和个人经历，他的思想认识不免带有历史的局限。20世纪30年代至50年代正是中国国内动荡变迁、破旧立新的时期，特定的创作背景无疑也给他的作品留下印痕。显而易见地，比如当时对朝代称谓与历史纪元的划定不统一(如称清朝为Manchu Dynasty)；且时无汉语拼音方案，专有名词均使用威妥玛拼音音译等。此外，也能发现作者在解读文化历史和社会生活现象时的不足，如反映在民族关系的表述上，称中国的一些少数民族为foreign blood、foreign race，乃至以Chinese特指Han Chinese等。
作者简介 林语堂，1895年10月10日生于福建漳州，乳名和乐，名玉堂，又改语堂。22岁获上海圣约翰大学学士学位位，27岁获美国哈佛大学比较文学硕士学位。29位获德国莱比锡大学语言学博士学位，同年回国，先后执教于北京大学，北京大学，厦门大学和上海东吴大学，1936年后居住美国，此后主要用英文写作。1966年回国，定居台湾，1967年受聘为香港中文大学研究教授，1975年荣任国际笔会国际笔会副会长。1976年3月26晶病逝于香港。葬于台北阳明山故居。林语堂用英文创作和翻译的一系列经典作品深远，奠定了他在国际文坛上的重要地位。
编辑推荐 《美国的智慧》是由外语教学与研究出版社出版的。

WADE-GILES TO PINYIN CONVERSION TABLE
ENGLISH WORKS BY LIN YUTANG
……
文摘 I see as many women lose at the roulette table as men, the sixth sense beingthe inability to tell clearly why you want to do a thing when you do it. I believewomen think and feel on the whole very much as men do, that mentally thereis much less sex difference than physically, although some women like toencourage the men to think otherwise. So if the question is asked, "Whereis woman in this book？" the answer is that she is everywhere, sharing allmen's problems of politics and religion and love. James Branch Cabell was for"domnei," or woman worship, for putting woman on a pedestal——a dangerousattitude, but then he was also for hero worship of men, for showing man inknight's armor riding on a high horse. He was speaking about romance, aboutwomen in art and literature. In real life, any woman would be grateful for beingaccepted as an ordinary human being, like any man, perhaps at most slightlyraised on a two-inch heel, not much higher, and certainly not on a pedestal. Itjust won't work. Woman shares all man's foibles, all man's pettiness and vanity,as she shares all his hopes and ambitions. Woman is venal; woman is vain;woman is realistic. What do we take her for？ An angel？ The falsehood lies inthe implication that man isn't all these things.
E. B. white, angered by the patronizing inanities of a man writing inHarper's on "Getting Along with Women," wrote a reply in which he succeededin the rare accomplishment of treating woman as man, to the point where thequestion of getting along with women does not even come up. My impressionis that he merely likes them a lot. Such a point of view, I believe, is reallycivilized. In addition, E. B. White is natural here; he just pours himself out, andthe result is delightful.
