记得前不久在一本刊物上看到一篇谈翻译的文章,讲到学术著作的翻译中“信”比“达”、“雅”更为重要,看后颇有同感。的确,唯有信,才能谈得上达与雅;若“信”(准确)都做不到,便很难兼及其它。这里并不打算评价这几年文艺理论书籍翻译的功过是非,只想把案头这几部书中所存在的一些问题提出来与同仁商榷。 I remember reading a translation article shortly before in a journal, saying that “letter” is more important than “up” and “elegant” in the translation of academic works. Indeed, only letters can be spoken of as well as elegant; if “faith” (accurate) can not be achieved, it is very difficult to combine them with others. Here is not intended to evaluate the merits and demerits of literary and art theory books translation in recent years, just want to put forward some of the problems in the desk these books put forward to discuss with my colleagues.
