十九世纪英国评论家马修·阿诺德(Matthew Arnold)曾写道,为了真正欣赏属于自身文化的文学,需要认识另一种文化的文学。他当时强调为理解英文而熟悉法文是如何重要。今天,有关认真观察非自身文化的理念更显得不可或缺,甚至可以说已构成一种挑战。 Nineteenth-century British commentator Matthew Arnold wrote that in order to truly appreciate literature belonging to one’s own culture, one needs to recognize another culture of literature. At that time, he stressed how important it was to become familiar with French in understanding English. Today, the idea of ​​carefully observing non-self-cultures is even more indispensable and can even be argued as a challenge.
