杂谈

一位微博粉丝(代号译员A)对我说:“曹老师,我最近得了河南省政府外侨办和河南省译协组织的翻译比赛中译英一等奖”、“虽然不是大奖,但也很高兴”。我问译员A是否有奖状,他说发了荣誉证书。译员A还说,一等奖有好几个是大学的老师。

译员A给了我该活动的链接:http://www.hnsti.cn/application/fyxh/c.eiip?dataId=MTU5

获奖名单,我就不详细列出了,只公布一下各个奖项数量。

附件1:中译英获奖人员名单

一等奖(13人);二等奖(26人);三等奖(39人);优秀奖(26人)

附件2:英译中获奖人员名单

一等奖(22人);二等奖(45人);三等奖(67人);优秀奖(45人)

对于本次比赛,我的感觉是,获奖比例很高,达到了80-90%;没有列出评委名单,也没有列出评奖方法,如何扣分的,如何打分的,如何确定奖项的,等等。

译员A给我提供了比赛原文和他的译文,我感觉,他的译文还是不错的。可能本次参加比赛的选手中,水平都很不错,或者对自己比较有把握的才去参赛的,没有或很少有“不知道天高地厚”的愣头青进来捣乱,所以,整体表现不错,获奖率高,优秀译文多。

我把译员A的译文贴出来给大家看看,也可以挑错呀。呵呵。他肯定会关注本博文,虚心接受各位的赞扬或批评的,他是个好译员,是个好学生。

 

先看中文原文吧!

“悦读”的“姿势”

 

    从一定意义说,一个民族的发展史就是它的阅读史,一个人亦如此。

  在德国,孩子从出生就有婴儿书陪伴。当然这些书大都是塑料书或者是布做的,孩子可以把书带进浴缸,看小书漂浮。这是孩子阅读的第一块基石。

  犹太人将阅读置于很高的地位。他们会在书上涂一层蜂蜜,让孩子生下来就知道书是甜的;他们还喜欢将书放在枕边和过道上,可随时翻阅。有资料说,每4500个犹太人就拥有一个图书馆。以读书为乐已经深深融入犹太人的血液里,也使他们在人类历史长河中光芒四射。据统计,从1901年至今,全世界共有800多人获得诺贝尔奖,有犹太人血统的就占了近1/4,而犹太人数量不到世界人口的3‰。

  中华民族也是一个酷爱读书的民族。唐代刘禹锡的诗句“数间茅屋闲临水,一盏秋灯夜读书”,让人感受到阅读时的闲适与宁静。“青灯有味似儿时”,是南宋陆放翁追念儿时读书的情景。至于流传千古的“凿壁偷光”、“囊萤映雪”等典故,“头悬梁,锥刺股”式的苦读,那种对书的迷恋让人心生敬畏。

  将中外读书情形做一番比较,不免让人心生遗憾:有时我们过于强调“苦学”而忽略了“乐学”,过于强调“正襟危坐”而忽略了“随性阅读”,过于强调读书的“功利性”而忽略了它的“功能性”。这就使得阅读难以融入到我们的血液中,难以成为我们生活的一部分,而过于浓烈的功利色彩亦极有可能将知识庸俗化,将读书引入歧途。

  就以读书的姿势为例,其实大可不必讲究。古人“三上”(马上、枕上、厕上)读书法看似有些不雅,实则领略到了读书的真谛。而今,公园里的“晨读”、公交车上的“走读”、倚床挑灯的“夜读”,无不是一道道美丽风景。正如有人所说,“先要把读书看得很平常,才可以读书……真正意义上的读书是随性而读,是与生命相伴始终。”只有把读书当作平常之事,融入我们的生活之中,才会真正领略“读书是福”的意境。

  阅读的身体姿势也许并不重要,但心灵的姿势却不可或缺。这种“心灵的姿势”,既是对求知的渴望,对经典的敬畏,也是对读书选择性的把握。时下,信息爆炸,各种书刊铺天盖地,人们常常为选择什么样的书而苦恼。喜欢读书是一种态度,而能否善于读书则是一种能力。读理论之书,打牢“基本功”;读经典之书,占领“制高点”;读大家之书,开阔“大视野”;读哲学之书,掌握“金点子”……让心灵俯就于经典,让灵魂与灵魂对话,自能积累底蕴、提振精神、修身明理、洞悉人生,滋养自己的精神世界,领悟时代使命,并进而笃行之。

《朗读手册》中有一句话:“阅读是消灭无知、贫穷和绝望的终极武器。”世界上很难有东西永恒,作为精神财富的文字却是特例。“俯而读,仰而思”,走进书香世界,扑下身子亲近文字,本身就是一种姿势,一种世界上最美的姿势,一种能给民族和我们每个人带来希望的姿势。

The “Posture” of “Enjoying Reading”

 

The history of a nation’s development, in a sense, is that of her reading. It is so true for a person, too.

 

In Germany, kids, since they were born, are accompanied by baby books, most of which, of course, are made of plastic or cloth; they can bring the books into bath tube and see small books floating. This is the first foundation stone of kids’ reading.

 

Jewish people think highly of reading. They lay a coat of honey on books to let kids know since they came into the world that books are sweet; they also like to put books at bedside and in the corridor so that they can read them at any time. As the data shows, there is one library for each 4500 Jewish people. Reading for enjoyment has deeply integrated into their blood and enabled them to shine in the long history of human beings. According to the statistics, since 1901 to the present there have been around the world 800 odd Nobel Prize winners, almost one quarter of whom are of Jewish descent; Jewish people, however, account for less than three thousandths of the world population.

 

Chinese nation is also keen on reading. The couplet from a poem written by Liu Yuxi, poet of Tang dynasty, goes, “Surrounded by water are several tranquil cottages, in which I read by the dim lamp at night”, which gives us a leisurely and peaceful impression of reading. “The oil lamp seems as interesting as that in my childhood”, as Lu Fangweng, (also known as Lu You, poet of South Song dynasty) recollected reading in his childhood. As for literary quotations that had been passed down through the ages like “bore a hole on the wall to make use of the neighbor’s light to study”, read by the light of bagged fireflies or the reflected light of snow and assiduous study by “tying hair on the house beam and jabbing side with a needle to keep awake”, the love of books is much revered. It would naturally make us feel woeful to compare reading in China with that in foreign countries: we occasionally overemphasize “assiduous learning” while neglect “enjoy learning”; overemphasize “straighten clothes and sit properly” while neglect “read in the way as wished”; overemphasize “material gains” of reading while neglect its “purposes”, which makes it difficult to integrate reading into our blood and render it a part in our daily life; moreover, preoccupation with material gains is very much likely to banalize knowledge and mislead reading.

 

For posture of reading, it is really not necessary in the least to be particular about. The “Three Ons” (on horseback, on bed and on closestool) way of reading of the ancients seems somewhat inelegant, it, in fact, had grasped the essence of reading. Nowadays, “morning reading” in the park, “reading in motion” on the bus and “night reading” on bed by light all without exception are beautiful sceneries. Just as someone put it, “Only being regarded as something regular can there be reading… reading, in its true sense, is easy and it goes with our lives.” Only by taking reading as something regular and our lifelong partner can we really and truly understand that “reading is bliss”.

 

Physical posture of reading may be of little matter, while spiritual posture can never be absent. The “spiritual posture” is thirst for learning, awe to classics and book selection. Nowadays, in the era of information explosion, there is overwhelming number of books and periodicals, selection of which often confuses people a lot. It is an attitude to be fond of reading; however, whether you can be good at reading depends on your ability. By reading books of theory, solid “foundation” can be laid; by reading classics, the “commanding height” can be conquered; by reading books of great masters, “horizon” can be greatly broadened; by reading books of philosophy, “golden ideas” can be acquired. Let the heart bend over the classics to have soul-to-soul dialogue, and then it can naturally be possible to accumulate wisdom, gather nerves, cultivate morality and become reasonable, thoroughly understand life, nourish our own mental world, comprehend the time mission and then sincerely carry it out.

 

As a line from The Read-aloud Handbook has it: “reading is the ultimate weapon, destroying ignorance, poverty and despair.” Few in the world can be eternal, yet word, the intellectual treasure, is an exception. “Bow our heads to read and raise to think”; enter the world of books and bend over words, this is per se a posture, the most graceful posture in the world, one bringing hope to the nation and each of us.
