《译林》创刊五年多了,我也算是《译林》的一名老读者。记得《译林》创刊时提出以“打开窗口,了解世界”作为办刊的宗旨。现在看来,这样做很有必要也很有好处。几年来,《译林》一直拥有为数众多的读者,这就说明这个窗口是起了好作用的,是受到广大读者欢迎的。我觉得,为了适应对外开放的需要,应该把《译林》以及类似的文学窗口开得更富有朝气,更具有借鉴的作用。 “Yilin” was founded more than five years ago, I can be considered “Yilin” an old reader. I remember “translation forest” was launched when the “open the window to understand the world” as the purpose of running a journal. Now it seems that it is necessary and beneficial to do so. Over the past few years, “translated forest” has always had a large number of readers, which shows that the window is playing a good role, is welcomed by the majority of readers. In my opinion, in order to meet the need of opening to the outside world, we should make the “translated forest” and similar literary windows more energetic and more useful.
