内容概要
《菊与刀(英文)》内容简介:“菊”是日本皇室家徽,“刀”是武家文化的象征。《菊与刀(英文)》揭示了日本人的本质性格,亦即日本文化的双重性。作者用了一串矛盾的文字来形容他们,“黩武而又爱美;倨傲自尊而又彬彬有礼;顽梗不化而又柔弱善变;驯服而又不愿受人摆布;忠贞而又易于叛变;勇敢而又懦弱;保守而又十分欢迎新的生活方式”,足以说明日本人性格和日本文化的双重性。《菊与刀(英文)》一书名被定为“菊与刀”,乃尔。菊、刀,两种充满强烈对比的符号组合在一起,成为日本独特的文化气质。

章节摘录
THE JAPANESE were the most alien enemy the United Stateshad ever fought in an all-out struggle. In no other war witha major foe had it been necessary to take into account suchexceedingly different habits of acting and thinking. LikeCzarist Russia before us in 1905, we were fighting a nationfully armedand trained which did not belong to the Westerncultural tradition. Conventions of war which Western na-tions had come to accept as facts of human nature obvi-ously did not exist for the Japanese. It made the war in thePacific more than a series of landings on island beaches,more than an unsurpassed problem of logistics. It made it amajor problem in the nature of the enemy. We had to under-stand their behavior in order to cope with it. The difficulties were great. During the past seventy-fiveyears since Japans closed doors were opened, the Japanesohave been described in the most fantastic series of butalsos ever used for any nation of the world. When a seri-ous observer is writing about peoples other than the/apa-nese and says they are unprecedentedly polite, he is notlikely to add.
