“Introduciton”からちょっと引用;
This book is the story of what I learned about the Chinese language, and what the language taught me about China. (p.15)
また、多和田葉子『言葉と歩く日記』*2も同じ日に読了。
(…) The language also unexpectedly became my way of making sense of China, my telescope into the country. Foreigners I met and know in China used their different passions to help them interpret China: artists used China's art world, as others used Chinese cooking, or traditional medicine, or business, or music, or any number of things they know about. I used the language, or more precidely, the study of the language. (p.14)
