近几年来英美畅销书汉译本重复出版的问题日趋严重,并有禁而不绝之势,已经引起社会各界的广泛关注,报刊上屡见披露,读者们也深表不满,例如西德尼·谢尔顿的《假若明天来临》国内先后出版了8个不同的译本(见《新闻出版报》1988年1月30日),这类问题颇值得我们深思和重视。 In recent years, the issue of repeated publication of English-Chinese bestseller Chinese versions has become more and more serious and has been banned endlessly. It has aroused widespread concern in the community. Readers are also deeply dissatisfied with the revelations in newspapers and periodicals, such as Sidney Shelton’s “If Tomorrow Comes For” has successively published eight different versions (see Press and Press, January 30, 1988). Such issues deserve our consideration and attention.
