和其他艺术一样,翻译的艺术也是没有止境的。一段多年来在翻译界备受称道的故事很能说明这一点。三十多年前,著名美学专家朱光潜教授在《文艺心理学》一书中将美学中一个范畴sublime译为“雄伟”,致使学者梁宗岱写了一篇洋洋数万言的论文,从字源、文学、音乐、美术等各个方面说明“雄伟”这个词译得不妥,并进一步提出一个更贴切的名词“崇高”。这篇论文的题目就叫《论崇高》。这种为一词之涵义的斟酌而不惜工本的精神真令人肃然起敬。
As with other arts, there is no limit to the art of translation. This is a story that has been highly commended in the translation industry for many years. More than thirty years ago, Professor Zhu Guangqian, a famous aesthetics expert, translated sublime, a category of aesthetics, into “majesty” in his book “Literary Psychology”, which led the scholar Liang Zongdai to write an essay of tens of thousands of words from etymology and literature , Music, art and other aspects of the “majestic” wrong translation of the word, and further put forward a more appropriate noun “sublime.” The title of this paper is called “On Sublime.” This kind of meaning for the sake of considering the spirit of the working capital is indeed awe-inspiring.
