论王思任的谑

On the Cunning Way of Wang Si-ren

王思任作为一个文人的一大特色就是他的谑,虽晚年他自号“谑庵”有悔谑之意,但终其一生仍不免为谑言、作谑事,其谑浪不仅是一个言行问题,同时也是一种生存之道、斗争手段、处事方式,更是一种人生的选择、循世的方式。

To be a poet man, WangWensi＇ s biggest character is his ＂cunning＂. Though when he became an old man, he called himself ＂Nie an＂, this word has a meaning of regret. But all through his llfe, he was always living in a cunning state, his words were as cunning as his deeds. It＇ s not only a kidding habit, but also way of living and fighting. It＇ s his way to deal with problems, it＇s his way to make big decision, and it＇s the way he hides from the noisy world.
