邵洵美的经济生活与文学选择

Shao Xunmei's Economic Life and His Choice of Literature As His Career

出身世家的邵洵美被世人视为文学纨绔子弟,与鲁迅当年的批评不无关系。基于此,从经济视角切入,探讨经济生活、经济观念对邵洵美的文学创作和出版业的影响别有意味。邵洵美从不讳言钱,在一些随笔里记录了他对金钱的真实看法;他开创了别具一格的"赌博小说"系列;他一生投入时间、精力、金钱最多的是出版业,倾尽家财也在所不惜;建国后为解决生计问题,邵洵美转以翻译为业,译著颇丰。拨开文学史的层层迷雾,逐渐浮出历史地表的邵洵美是一个以理想为生活的真文人。

Coming of an aristocratic family, Shao Xunmei was considered as a literary dude owing to the few sharp - tongued essays by Lu Xun concerning him. It is of particular import to investigate the impacts exerted on his literary and publishing career by his economic life and concept from the economic perspective. He has never hesitated in speaking of money, for he expresses what he truly thinks of money in some of his essays. He initiated the unique series of the gambling novel ; and, all his life, he invested time, energy and money in the publishing industry more than in any other undertakings, yet with no regrets at all even at the expense of ex- hausting all his possessions. After the founding of the People＇ s Republic of China, he turned to literary trans- lation in order to solve his livelihood problem, putting out quite a number of translated works. In a word, Shao Xunmei, outcropping through layers of dense fog of literary history, is a true scholar who lives by his own ideal.
