星期天的期待
今天在蘋果看了劉紹銘的《讀翻譯?學英文》，引了一段《紅樓夢》的翻譯，很精采。
第六回周瑞家的引進劉姥姥拜見鳳姐，這位伶牙利齒的「大內」女管家笑著對村婦說：「親戚們不大走動，都疏遠了。知道的呢，說你們棄厭我們，不肯常來；不知道的那起小人，還只當我們眼?沒人似的。」
譯文是牛津大學漢學榮休教授David Hawkes手筆：
"Relations don't come to see us much nowadays," said Xi-feng affably. "We are getting to be quite strangers with everybody. People who know us realize that it is because you are tired of us that you don't visit us oftener, but some spiteful people who don't know us so well think it's our fault, because we have grown too proud."
現在，我最期待的是葛浩文（Howard Goldblatt）翻譯蕭紅的六篇短篇小說。
