换一种语言读金庸（三）
<p>英美文学作品和电影中也有武侠题材， 像《罗宾汉》，《亚瑟王和圆桌骑士》，甚至史泰龙主演的《第一滴血》和一些西部牛仔片，均可划入武侠的范畴。金庸先生在《神雕侠侣》第二十回借郭靖之口说出了他对侠的认识：“侠之大者，为国为民”。正义善良、刚毅勇敢……在这些理想的人格品质方面，古今中外的大侠相差不多，都符合中国儒家所提倡的仁、智、勇的标准。</p><p>中国的侠与外国的侠最大的差别恐怕就在武功上了。外国的侠，如史泰龙或施瓦辛格饰演的角色，不论武功多么高强，基本上还是在人类的体能局限之内，而中国的武侠功夫已经不是人的功夫，而是不折不扣的“神功”了。概括起来，就是两个字，一个是“玄”，一个是“炫”。前者靠的是想象，后者靠的是夸张，在这两个方面，金庸先生算是做到了极致。</p><p>武当派的“纵云梯”，一跃就是几丈高，这样的人去打篮球，还有姚明什么事儿吗？东海桃花岛主黄药师坐在小船之上吹奏玉箫，箫尾喷出的气流就能推动小船飞速前行。黄药师一张嘴，简直就是一台喷气式发动机！要是真能如此，赛龙舟也就不用划桨了，每个选手发一个笛子，直接吹不就行了吗？</p><p>这类玄幻的武功，在外国读者眼中就是“神话”。香港中文大学助教<span word="Lokman">Lokman</span> <span word="Tsui">Tsui</span>从小在欧洲长大，也是个金庸迷。他在接受<span word="NPR">NPR</span>釆访时说，他至今仍清晰地记得当年在比利时电影院看《卧虎藏龙》的场面：<span word="Tsui">Tsui</span> <span word="says">says</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="afraid">afraid</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="concepts">concepts</span> <span word="won">won</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="sense">sense</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="foreign">foreign</span> <span word="audience">audience</span>. <span word="He">He</span> <span word="remembered">remembered</span> <span word="watching">watching</span> <span word="Crouching">Crouching</span> <span word="Tiger">Tiger</span>, <span word="Hidden">Hidden</span> <span word="Dragon">Dragon</span> -- <span word="which">which</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="adapted">adapted</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="martial">martial</span> <span word="art">art</span> <span word="novel">novel</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="Jin">Jin</span> <span word="Yong">Yong</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="work">work</span> -- <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Belgium">Belgium</span>. <span word="When">When</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="characters">characters</span> <span word="started">started</span> <span word="flying">flying</span>, "<span word="people">people</span> <span word="started">started</span> <span word="laughing">laughing</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="like">like</span>, <span word="dude">dude</span>, <span word="you">you</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="supposed">supposed</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="laugh">laugh</span> <span word="here">here</span>, <span word="guys">guys</span>".</p>
