钱钟书《谈艺录》第373页有一段关于翻译的文字,义蕴颇深远:“译者驱使本国文字,其功夫或非作者驱使原文所能及,故译笔正无防出原著头也。克洛岱尔之译丁敦龄诗是矣。”这里透露钱先生的翻译观,并昭示文学翻译的变异性。对此,译界学者们似乎还没有理解或认识。有人还对这段话提出批评。 Qian Zhongshu, “On Art Record,” p. 373 There is a paragraph about the translation of the text, the meaning is quite far-reaching: “Translator drive their own words, their effort or non-author driven by the original text, The translation of Chloe Dingling’s poems by Claudett is true. ”Here, Qian’s translation concept is revealed and the variability of literary translation is revealed. In this regard, translation scholars seem to have not understood or recognized. Some people also criticized this passage.
