889 Posted March 12, 2011 at 02:36 PM Report Posted March 12, 2011 at 02:36 PM That doesn't seem to be the way it appears in the original: 1936年，林语堂英译此书时，即在序中满怀期望地揣测道："我在猜想，在苏州家藏或旧书铺一定还有一本全本，倘然有这福分，或可给我们发现." 就因为林语堂的这一句话，苏州的藏书之家、旧书冷摊、跳蚤市场都已经被人翻寻殆尽了. 郑逸梅写过不少关于寻觅《浮生六记》卷五与卷六的文章，为此事，林语堂还曾亲自走访过郑氏. http://blog.tianya.cn/blogger/post_read.asp?BlogID=206985&PostID=18946242 Quote
skylee Posted March 12, 2011 at 02:43 PM Report Posted March 12, 2011 at 02:43 PM I guess it is not 殆書 but 殆盡 (note the similar shape of the second character). Actually there are not many words that contain the character 殆. (I) think/Probably because of what he said, all the places holding good/large quantity of books, stalls selling old books, and flea markets etc in Suzhou have probably already been thoroughly and completely searched.
