留言裡有一個連結,有興趣的讀者可以點進去看看 Xin Xiang Liu 找到的翻譯問題及解釋/改譯,值得參考。記得要點進去每一張圖片才會看見文字分析。她還手繪圖解,解釋一個錯誤(如圖)XD 甚至有足夠的生物學知識,發現作者英文寫錯的地方(關於染色體)。
整理一下這些翻譯問題:
1 As a neuroscientist well into the fourth decade of my career
(我是一個從業將近四十年的神經學家 )
亂翻成「作爲一個年過而立的神經學家」(三十多歲),其實作者六十多了。
2 被老師罰坐垃圾桶,butt down:一屁股坐在垃圾桶裡。翻譯變成「以頭朝下關進垃圾桶」,這樣還能作鬼臉給同學看到?垃圾桶是透明的嗎?根本不用心的翻譯!
3 收縮壓和舒張壓,翻譯成高血壓和低血壓!缺乏基礎常識。
4 twenty 二十,寫成「十二」;1930s 三〇年代,寫成「九十年代」。這都不感意外了!
除此以外,我在序文中發現額外的問題,補充如下:
5 這本譯作應該是中國大陸先出版同一位譯者的《天生變態狂》再「簡轉繁」,但轉得也許不乾淨,從project一字翻譯成「項目」可知。
6 序文第一句話其實就有翻譯問題:
One October day in 2005, as the last vestiges of an Indian summer moved across Southern California, ...
//二〇〇五年十月的某天,當初秋最後一絲悶熱從南加州漸漸褪去,……
Indian summer 是秋老虎,發生在晚秋(大多的英英字典定義是 late autumn,晚秋、深秋,少數字典或資料會寫初秋),不過重點在於,Indian summer必須理解成入秋轉涼以後天氣的突然回熱。
翻譯寫「最後一絲悶熱從南加州漸漸褪去」,但原文是moved across Southern California 橫掃南加州,天氣正熱,怎會變成「褪去」?顯然是受到英文last vestiges(最後的殘餘)的影響,導致翻譯不顧文意胡亂造句。
7 // 他們的腦部掃描圖都呈現出一種罕有而令人擔憂的共同特徵,即額葉(frontal lobe)和顳葉(temporal lobe)(通常來說,這兩部分與自我控制密切相關)腦功能低下。
……
我的實驗室還在進行一項基因方面的獨立研究,想要找出與阿茲海默症有關的特定基因。//
這裡漏掉三個細節:
certain parts of:額葉和顳葉【的某些部位】。
and empathy:這兩部分與自我控制【和同理心】密切相關。
if any:想要找出與阿茲海默症有關的特定基因【,如果真有關聯】。
8 //為了將所有的掃描圖做匿名處理,我們將所有圖片【隨機】編碼。//
coded them 翻成「編碼」就好,作者沒說「隨機」(randomized),編碼不一定隨機。
改:我們將所有圖片編碼。
9 // 看到了圖像主人的名字之後,我【覺得】這當中出了錯
「我覺得這當中出了錯」,原文是 I had to believe there was a mistake. 語氣強多了。
改:我認定這當中出了錯。
10 這本書有一位出名的審訂者,陳永儀。我看過她的TED talk,很欣賞她直截了當的美式說話風格,但從這些翻譯錯誤,我對陳的好印象打了折扣,這似乎說明我不久前才說的,翻譯審訂者審閱的仔細度可大可小,是否對照原文來審也很難說,可以是一句一句的精審,可以是蜻蜓點水的隨便翻翻看看,我不知道陳女士從原譯中審訂出多少問題、修改了多少大錯,但如果審訂的結果,還有那麼多隨便看就能發現的低級翻譯錯誤,感覺大概是隨便審一下掛名的那種。

In part one of the interview on my blog I posted yesterday, I mentioned how my mother supported me to pursue my interest in art in my early years. I'm forever grateful to her. This is a portrait that I did for her in Hong Kong and below is an introduction of the painting and my mother in an oil painting collection to be published in China in the near future.
***
Mother 75x47cm 1982 Hong Kong
母親 75X47CM 1982 香港
In 1960, during my second year at the Affiliated High School of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts while I was home for the winter break, I made an oil painting of my mother. That painting was unfortunately lost during the Cultural Revolution. After my graduation, I was assigned to Zhaoqing City in Guangdong Province, which was very far away from my hometown in Hunan. I only received 12 days a year for family leave including the travel time, so my trips home to Hunan were always rushed affairs with little time for painting. It was not until the 1980s that my mother, siblings, and I were all finally reunited one by one in Hong Kong. By that time, my mother was 72 years old. Two years later, we moved to slightly larger rental accommodations and I found time to paint this portrait of my mother.
1960年冬,我正在廣州美術學院附中二年級的寒假吧,趁假回家時為母親畫過一幅油畫像,可惜文革中丟失了。畢業後工作分配在廣東省的肇慶市,離湖南老家太遠,每年探親假連路程也才12天,因而,回湖南探親都是行色匆匆,少有時間作畫。直到1980年,母親與我們兄弟姊妹先後抵港,重新團聚。此時母親已高齡72歲了。再過兩年,我們搬租到稍大的房子,我才抽空為母親作了這幅畫像。
After I came to Taiwan, I happened to mention the tragedy of my parents caused by the cross-strait standoff to Mr. Liu Shaotang, the president of Bibliographies Publishing. Liu expressed his sympathies as well as his admiration for my mother because she managed to raise us all by herself despite everything that she went through.
我到台灣後,有一次與「傳記文學」社長劉紹唐先生談起父母在這海峽兩岸對峙中的悲慘遭遇時他深表同情與感嘆。並直說你母親真是了不起,經歷那麼多苦難,獨力將你們撫養大,真是很偉大。
My mother was born in Taoyuan County, Hunan. She attended the Zhounan Women's School in Changsha and, to escape from an arranged marriage, fled to Shanghai where she enrolled in the Daxia University. After that, she married, had children, and suffered through China's modern history. It was not until the mid-1980s that she was finally able to travel to Taiwan to sweep my father's tomb. When she passed away in 1994, we fulfilled her final wish by laying her to rest alongside my father.
母親,湖南桃源縣人,早年去長沙念「周南女校」,之後為逃婚獨赴上海唸「大夏大學」,結婚、生子,經歷中國現代史中一切苦厄。直到八十年代中才得以到台灣為父親掃墓。1994年,她老仙逝,我們將她與父親合葬,完成她老最後的願望。
My mother was a good and honest woman filled with compassion. She often taught her children that "integrity is the foundation of personal character." She was well-versed in ancient literature and wrote with a neat, beautiful hand. She frequently reminded me of the need to re-read my letters to ensure that they were "fluent and made sense", and to use well-accepted phrases rather than making up unfamiliar terms. How I miss her!
母親善良、誠實,富于同情心,經常教育子女:忠厚為人之本。她古文好,字端正、秀麗。常告誡我寫信要複讀一遍,要『文從字順』。遣詞造句不要自己生造,要約定從俗……啊,我的母親。

Hi everyone, I'm Elvi. This is the first episode of Connecting with the World (I might change the name later lol).
