Call it Britain / 稱它為英國

 

Call it Britain By Simon Schama	稱它為英國 賽門·沙瑪
… In his dream, ‘It was an old, rabbit-bitten pasture, with a foot-track wandering across it and a molehill here and there. In the ragged hedge on the opposite side the boughs of the elm trees were swaying very faintly in the breeze, their leaves stirring in dense masses like women’s hair. Somewhere near at hand, though out of sight, there was a clear, slow-moving stream where dace were swimming in the pools under the willow trees.’ And of course there is, because in Orwell’s fugitive Golden Country nature, love, freedom and history are all ravelled up together. Some before him called such a place of hopes and blessings ‘Jerusalem’. And some of us, obstinately, think we can still call it Britain. (From A History of Britain, Vol. 3, Ch. 8; Random House, 2009)	……在他夢中，“那是一處舊日的牧場，野兔覓食之地，一條足跡小徑蜿蜒貫穿全境，鼴鼠拱出的土丘隨處可見。對面那邊破舊粗糙的籬牆上，榆樹的枝條正依稀隨着微風搖擺，顫動的叢叢密葉宛如女人的秀髮。近在身旁某處，雖在目光之外，一道清溪在慢慢流淌着，柳樹蔭下水流靜緩處有鯪魚成群悠游其中。”當然那確是存在的，因為在奧威爾隨興暢想的“黃金鄉村”中，大自然、愛情、自由、歷史全是纏繞在一起的。在他之前，有人把如此一片希望與祝福之地稱為“耶路撒冷”；而我們有人固執己見，覺得可依舊稱它為英國。 (Tr. Allen Zhuang)

老師一句話 譯姐	One saying of my teachers’ By Sister Translator
我始終記得老師們的一句話：翻譯不僅僅是詞句的對應，更是文化與思想的橋梁。這句話，AI還遠遠做不到。 (摘自 AI翻譯筆記)	One saying of my teachers’ lives ever with me—“Translation does more than matching words and sentences; it bridges cultures and ideas.” That’s still far beyond the reach of AI. (Tr. Allen Zhuang)
