前 言
书里藏着两双手
毕淑敏
本书英文译者朱虹老师的手，温热而柔软。真是难以相信，这样一双看似普通的手，写过大量极有创见的英美文学评论。尤其是用准确简练又不乏幽默的笔触，将大量中国文学翻译成英文，并得到英语世界主流文学界的赞赏与认同，她的翻译还不止一次成为博士论文的课题。
朱红老师由衷热爱翻译事业，一直兢兢业业，她以英语的思维，追求“神似而非形似”的翻译风格，不是亦步亦趋地简单直译，而是在力求准确的同时，不失灵性和变通，严谨中饱含风趣，让读者领会更加原汁原味的英文，体会纯正的英语之美。这样一位声震海内外的翻译大家，怎么会在84 周岁的耄耋之年，翻译我的这本小书呢？
她的初心，是为了留给自己的孙女们一件精致隽远的礼物，便倾注了满腔心血来做这件事。译文反复推敲修改，精益求精，达到感人至深的地步。
她老人家原想只把此书作为自家的珍宝，亲人相传。不想此译稿被天地出版社得到，将它出版，于是更多的读者也有了珍藏它的机缘。
文字之中，也藏着我的一双手。我这双手，没什么特殊，只是指掌比较大。当年我做外科医生的时候，如果第二天有我出台做手术，护士长会特别叮嘱准备手术器械的新护士说，一般女医生的手套6 号半到7 号即可，毕医生要用7 号半的大手套。
现在上了点年纪，因长年写作，多个手指发炎变粗，估计再要去做手术，没准要用8号的手套了。
说完了手，说说我的心意吧。我向你保证，书中文字，都是我秉着当年执手术时的责任感，以治病救人为无尚光荣的医生之德郑重写下，力求它们传达暖意和富有力量。
感谢天地出版社编辑们的辛勤劳动。
亲爱的读者，这样流畅美好伏贴而生动幽默的英文译本，真是难得的宝贝。赶紧把它收
藏起来吧。
我和朱虹老师的手，藏在书中，等着和你打招呼呢！
Two Pairs of Hands Hidden in a Book
Bi Shumin
The hands of Zhu Hong, the translator of this volume of stories, aresoft and warm.
It is hard to imagine that this pair of hands had written articleson English and American literature with sharp critical acumen.
More amazing is the fact that Zhu Hong had translated outstandingworks of Chinese literature into English. Her translations, precise, succinct,sometimes with a dash of humor thrown in, have been approved of and accepted inthe Englishspeaking world of academia, while at home they have more than onceserved as topics for Ph.D theses.
Zhu Hong works hard and is deeply devoted to her chosen field. Trueto her ideal of translation not as a mere formation of words but as a means ofimparting the spirit of the original, Zhu Hong’s works of translation havemanaged to offer her readers a taste of the English language in all its beautyand flexibility.
Now why did this famed master of translation, at the venerable ageof eighty-four, bother to translate these short stories of mine? It turned outthat Zhu Hong had planned to translate this collection of my stories as a giftto all her granddaughters, a gift to be handed down as an heirloom within thefamily. Thus she threw herself into the job of translation, sweating over everyword in pursuit of perfection. However, the project was discovered by Tiandi Press,and thus destined to be released for a larger readership.
My own two hands are also hidden in the text of this book. There isnothing special about my hands, except that it is larger than the usual forwomen of my age. Back in those days when I was a surgeon and whenever there wasa surgery planned for the next day, the nurse in charge of surgical instrumentswould always order gloves of size 7.5, explaining to her staff that size 6—7was the usual for women doctors, but that Doctor Bi Shumin needed
7.5!
By now, I have added some years to my age, not to mention havingspent those years writing nonstop, and most of my fingers are swollen withinflammation. If I am to perform surgery now, I guess I will need size 8gloves.
Now that we have dealt with hands, let us move on to the heart.
Let me assure you, readers: every word here in the book is sprungfrom my sense of responsibility as a practicing surgeon. All of them werewritten down conscientiously, word by word, out of a sense of pride in being adoctor dedicated to saving lives, and were all written in the hope that thosewords, imbued with strength, would send out warmth!
Many thanks to the editorial staff of Tiandi Press for their hardwork!
Dear readers, with such smooth flowing English, faithful to theoriginal, bubbling with humor, such a book is a rare acquisition. Snatch it!
My hands and Zhu Hong’s hands—are hidden inside the book, waiting togreet you!
