鲁迅曾在《祝中俄文字之外交》里不无讥讽地说,“后来林琴南大译英国哈葛德的小说了,我们又看见了伦敦小姐之缠绵和非洲野蛮之古怪。”哈葛德是何许人?相信很多人已不甚了解,殊不知他在中国近代译坛曾经风光一时。一八九八年五月《时务报》第六十至六十九册上刊载了署为“[英]解佳撰、曾广铨译”的小说《长生术》,这位“解佳”后来被译为赫格德或是哈葛德,他就是英国维多利亚时期的通俗小说作家Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925),而《长生术》便是哈葛德相当有名的小说《她》(She,1886)。 Lu Xun once said in his “Diplomacy of Chinese-Russian Character Writing” that “Lin Ch’in-nan later translated the novel of Hogg to the United Kingdom and we saw the weirdness of Miss London and the savageness of Africa.” Who is Gede? I believe many people already do not quite understand, but he did not know in the modern Chinese translators had a moment. In May 1898, the 60th to the 69th volumes of the Current Affairs Journal published the novel “Longevity Technique” published by the Department as “[英] 解 解 撰, 曾 铨 ” Later translated as Hedgard or Haggard, Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925), a popular novelist in Victorian England, and “longevity” is a very famous novel by Herbert “She” (She, 1886).
