很少听到有人在读林琴南的翻译小说。缘由很简单,有现代白话文的直译本当然就不看他老先生古文兮兮的意译本喽。所以偶而翻阅商务印书馆重印的《林译小说丛书》,怎么也想象不出这批小说在当年的风光,它们曾是怎样地走红、怎样地威风,怎样地“纸贵洛阳”、“不胫走万本”。 Rarely heard anyone reading Lin Qinnan’s translation fiction. The reason is very simple, with a straightforward text in modern vernacular, of course, do not look at his old man’s cursive translation of this article myself. So occasionally read the reprint of the Commercial Press, “Lin translated novels,” how can not imagine how these novels in the scenery that year, how they were popular, how prestige, how “paper Luoyang”, “ Go Wan Ben ”.
