《城南旧事》的作者、台湾女作家林海音在她的散文集《剪影话文坛》里收有一篇文章,提到著名翻译家黎烈文先生(1904—1972)晚年的一些情况,想来海内关心翻译家的朋友是亟希知道的,故予以转载。所据的文本是中国友谊出版公司1987年的版本。黎先生译的《冰岛渔夫》、《伊尔的美神》等书中优美的译笔曾受到老一辈读者的赞赏。黎先生抗战胜利后去台,因病逝世,详情可参看巴金先生的《怀念烈文》一文(载《探索集》,人文版1986年)。 Lin Hai-yin, author of The Old Story in South City, and Taiwanese writer Lin Hai-yin, received an article in her essay collection “Sketchy Literary World,” mentioning some of the later years of the famous translator, Mr. Lehighing (1904-1972) Friends are anxious to know, so be reproduced. The text is the 1987 version of China Friendship Publishing Company. Mr. Li’s beautiful book “Icelandic Fisherman” and “The Beautiful God of Il” has been praised by readers of older generation. Mr. Li went to Taiwan after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and passed away due to illness. For more details, please refer to Mr. Ba Jin’s “Remembering the Martyrs” (a collection of “Exploration”, Humanistic Edition 1986).
