摘要
"绿龙的造访"是卡夫卡被忽视的一篇寓言,"绿色的龙"这个形象应是借用自卫礼贤对中国文化中"青龙"的翻译,因此这篇寓言可被视为一个中国文本.该寓言的内涵可以理解为卡夫卡对自己与道家思想遭遇的想象,其中呈现出与庄子"尸居而龙见"的"无为"观十分相似的人生境界.卡夫卡曾深入研究卫礼贤以德文翻译的《道德经》《庄子》等道家著作,这或许让他在1917年前后走出了早期思想单纯的消极被动,将道家"无为"思想中更加开阔和宁静的人生姿态融入思考和写作之中,也让他在情感与身体的双重困境中得到了精神上的抚慰与支持.揭示卡夫卡与道家思想的这种深度关联,或许对当代中西文化交流有所启发.
Abstract
"Der Besuch des Grünen Drachen"(The Green Dragon's Visit)is an ignored fable of Kafka."Der grüne Drache"(the green dragon)is an image probably learned from Richard Wilhelm's translation of"Qinglong"in Chinese culture.Therefore,this fable might be regarded as a Chinese text,the connotation of which can be understood as Kafka's imagination of his encounter with Taoist thought presenting a state of life very similar to Zhuang Zi's explanation of"inaction"as"one living like a corpse and his dragon power will emerge".Kafka had delved deeply into Taoist works such as Tao Te Ching and Zhuang Zi translated by Richard Wilhelm,which might have helped him breaking free from the passive nature of his early thoughts around 1917,as well as absorbing the broader and more peaceful life state of"inaction"into his thinking and writing.It also provided him with spiritual support in the plight of life.Revealing this deep connection between Kafka and Taoism may shed light on today's inter-cultural exchanges between East and West.
