在这几年兴起的外国文学名著重译潮中,苏联作家奥斯特洛夫斯基的长篇小说《钢铁是怎样炼成的》(以下简称《钢铁》)也有了几个译本。对这股重译潮,人们褒贬不一。愚以为以中国之大,读者之多,一部文学名著出几个译本,印他几十万册,并不算多。只要不是粗倒滥造、抄袭剽窃和歪曲原著,都应该欢迎。如果出版家们不把名著重译变为纯粹的商业行为,那就更好 In the wake of the re-interpretation of the famous foreign literature that emerged in recent years, there are several versions of the novel by Soviet writer Ostrovsky, “How Is Steel Made?” (Hereinafter referred to as “Steel”). The re-interpretation of this wave, people mixed reviews. Foolishly think of China as large, readers and more, a literary masterpiece translated several times, hundreds of thousands of copies of him printed, not too much. As long as it is not abusive, plagiarism and distortion of the original, should be welcomed. It would be better if publishers did not translate masterpiece reprints into purely commercial ones
