| Excerpt：王爾德妙語錄 我想書名「妙語錄」一詞中的「妙」對於王爾德來說，應該是多餘的吧！王爾德語錄豈有不妙可言？絕對都是妙不可言！！ 我個人是從四年前讀完《格雷的畫像》(The Picture of Dorian Gray) 這本小說之後開始關注他的相關作品，不過劇本之類的依舊涉獵不多，像是《溫夫人的扇子》(Lady Windermere’s Fan)、《無足輕重的女人》(A Woman of No Importance)、《理想丈夫》(An Ideal Husband)...透過這本語錄可以算是稍微塡補一些自己不足之處。 本書的譯筆十分流暢，再加上裝幀及排版都讓人感到賞心悅目，我想關於這本書的推薦指數可說是不言而喻了！ http://www.books.com.tw/products/0010665310 拒絕誘惑的唯一方式，就是向它臣服：王爾德妙語錄 (中英雙語) Witty, Clever, Wisdom & Inspirational Sayings of Oscar Wilde 作者： 奧斯卡．王爾德 原文作者：Oscar Wilde 譯者：張家綺 出版社：八旗文化 出版日期：2015/02/16 語言：繁體中文 「人生太重要，重要到不該嚴肅論之。」——王爾德 他用最輕盈的姿態，面對最沉重的人生。 王爾德，英國維多利亞時期的愛爾蘭作家，作品廣受世人歡迎的跨世代文學傳奇偶像。在其短暫、從華麗到頹敗的戲劇性一生中，他以豐沛生動的文字，創作出無數勾引讀者的劇作和小說，流傳後世百年。 王爾德對社會和人性的觀察入微、筆鋒尖銳，形容生動，作品字裡行間無不流露出傲人才氣和獨特性情，也濃縮了他對這個世界的洞悉和體悟。本書擷選自王爾德多部著名劇作、小說、訪談，以及評論，二百一十六則中英雙語精妙語句，談男女情愛、人生哲學、藝術時尚、社交機智……句句聰慧幽默、犀利辛辣、痛快直指人心。 【延伸閱讀】 http://classic-blog.udn.com/le14nov/5350321 我讀王爾德的《格雷的畫像》(The Picture of Dorian Gray) http://blog.udn.com/le14nov/21588930 關於王爾德的獄中書《來自深淵的吶喊》(De Profundis) 【Excerpt】 I 男與女 On Men and Women Men become old, but they never become good. 男人會變老，但永遠不學好。 《溫夫人的扇子》(Lady Windermere’s Fan) Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood. 女人是用來疼愛， 不是用來理解的。 《沒有祕密的斯芬克斯》(The Sphinx Without a secret) One should never trust a woman who tells one her real age. A woman who would tell one that, would tell one anything. 絕不能相信透露真實年齡的女人，這樣的女人什麼事都會對別人坦言。 《無足輕重的女人》(A Woman of No Importance) Gerald: It is very difficult to understand women, is it not? Lord Illingworth: You should never try to understand them. Women are pictures. Men are problems. 傑瑞德：女人很難懂，對吧？ 伊林沃茲勳爵：你不該試著去懂女人。女人是幅畫， 男人則是問題。 《無足輕重的女人》(A Woman of No Importance) The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain us.

That is their clumsy vanity. Women have a more subtle instinct about things: What they like is to be a man’s last romance. 男人總希望白己是女人的初戀， 道是男人愚蠢的虛榮。 女人的本能比較幽微： 她們希望自己是男人的最後一段情。 《無足輕重的女人》(A Woman of No Importance) Pleasure hides love from us but pain reveals it in its essence. 歡愉遮藏了愛， 而痛苦卻在本質中掀示了愛的面目。 《獄中書信》(Letter in prison) I suppose that when a man has once a woman, he will do anything for her, except continue to love her? 我認為，男人一旦愛上女人， 什麼事情都肯為她做——除了繼續愛她以外？ 《理想丈夫》(An Ideal Husband) III. 藝術與時尚 On Art and Fashion All Art is immoral.

People are whether charming or tedious, 把人區分為好與壞，著實荒謬。 人不是迷人就是乏味。 《溫夫人的扇子》(Lady Windermere’s Fan) We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell. 我們就是自己的惡魔， 而且你我讓這個世界成了自己的地獄。 《帕都瓦公爵夫人》(The Duchess of Padua) The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. 拒絕誘惑的唯一方式，就是向它臣服。 《格雷的畫像》(The Picture of Dorian Gray) Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.
