Re: [心得] 刀光錢影的翻譯負評
※ 引述《icechocolate (怕冷也怕熱)》之銘言：
: 不舉太後面的章節，挑P.31後段的其中一句話
以我讀中文書的習慣，我其實不會覺得前後兩個例句不順說。
英文翻中文不是非把倒裝弄回來
ex:
我很有錢, 雖然我很醜
雖然我很醜, 我很有錢
這兩句因為強調點不一樣，用意也會不一樣
語句放前放後是有關係的，否則原作者一開始就直述就好。
不過如果是這句，我比較會覺得問題在於意思不到位
接前後文可以看出作者要表達這城市的古老造成的矛盾
"既宗教又反宗教"
但中文裏這意思淡了不少
: 不舉太後面的章節，挑P.31後段的其中一句話
: 「雖然最後的議員已死去幾百年，古老的城門依然靜椅，保護議會的廳堂，而身披法袍
: 法冠的主教青銅像依然莊嚴尊貴，即使上面帶著斑駁的銅鏽和鴿糞。」
原文
Here, ancient gates still hung at rest,
prepared to protect the halls of the Common Council
though the last councilmen were all generations dead.
There, a noble bronze statue showed the wise and solemn countenance
of a robed and mitred bishop streaked with verdigris and pigeon shit.
The streets had signs in wood and stone from a thousand years of history,
so that a single alley might be called by a dozen names.
Iron gates marked the twenty, tiny political districts,
allowing the Prince to remake the pathways through the city at his whim,
protection against riots and conspiracy
我不是作翻譯的, 僅原封不動直譯，勿戰我(放大絕:P)
(依推文指正第一句)
在這兒，古老的柵門仍然靜懸，以待保護議會的廳堂，
雖然最後的議員世世代代都已經死光；
而那兒，雄偉的青銅像展現著主教披袍正冠的睿智莊嚴，
上頭斑駁的銅鏽與鴿糞肉眼可見。
