文化有根 創意是伴 Bridging Creativity
一九六八年秋天,我剛進臺大不久,買了一本《羅素回憶集》,讀到他對劍橋大學的回憶:「除去一點瘋狂和懶散,劍橋真是個好地方,在那兒心靈可以獲得獨立,永不受阻撓。」而他周遭的師長與同學多為才華洋溢的精英份子:「能與他們生存在同一時代,而且有機會同躋一堂,真使我高興。」我看了心有戚戚焉,因為那彷彿就是當年「初生之犢」的我對台大的感覺。
一兩年後,再讀陳之藩的《劍河倒影》,看到一個華人學者眼中的劍橋和他心中的感嘆,拿來和日漸熟悉的台大稍作對照,覺得劍橋似乎成了西天的一朵美麗雲彩,雖然讓人心嚮往之,卻已是可望而不可及。
想不到四十多年後,就在今年五月,我竟然和妻子來到了劍橋大學。當時,女兒在莫德霖學院(Magdalene College)已作了近兩年的博士後研究,我們趁她回美國任教前來探望她,順便一了當年的未償心願。
在從機場前往劍橋的計程車上,窗外的田園景觀與台灣殊異,但我卻有一種「近鄉情怯」的奇特感覺。以前從閱讀中所認識的劍橋種種在腦海中輪轉,我忽然了解那的確是一種「鄉愁」──當年想要在一所「理想大學」裡做一名「知識份子」的「鄉愁」。
雖然在劍橋逗留的時間還不到一星期,只能走馬看花,但當原本只飄浮於心中的想像成為眼前具體而鮮明的存在,特別是拿它們來和以前「屬於我的那個台大」做比較時,就讓人感慨良多……
