释“吏护还之乡”柳宗元《童区寄传》“吏护还之乡”一句,初中课本第三册注为:“送回他(到)乡里。之,指区寄”。这条注释十分别扭,实在使人难以接受。毛病在于强把“之”字作代词解。为了把“之”字当作代词,又不得不在译句时加进一个介词“到”。殊不知把这个“之”解作代词是讲不通的。“之”前有两个动词:“护”和“还”。“之”可以指代“护”的对象,作“护”的宾语,但不能同时指代“还”的对象,作“还”的宾语。显然,把“之”当作“护”和“还”的共同宾语,译为“护回他”,此路不通! Interpretation of “Hometown of Protecting and Returning” Liu Zongyuan’s “Children’s District Posting Biography” “Hometown of Protecting and Returning”, in the third volume of the junior high school textbook, “Return him (to) the village. Here, refer to the area to send.” It is hard to accept that this note is asymmetric. The fault lies in the strong use of the word “zhi” as a pronoun solution. In order to use the word “Zhi” as a pronoun, one must add a preposition “to.” As everyone knows, it does not make sense to interpret this “zhi” as a pronoun. There are two verbs before “Zi”: “protect” and “return.” “Zhi” can refer to the object of “protection” and serve as the object of “protection”, but it cannot refer to the object of “returning” at the same time as the object of “returning”. Obviously, translating the “objection” as a common object of “protection” and “returning” to “protecting him back” is not possible!
