大陸版翻譯：「精神錯亂的一群」；

台灣版：「瘋狂邊緣」

翻譯者解釋--"羅斯福是"因為"政治上或藝術上或任何"前進"運動中那些相對於"中庸"核心多數的邊緣次要份子行為思想激進瘋狂, "所以"形容他們為lunatic fringe, 而非倒過來因為lunatic fringe本身是政治上專有名詞, 再引用來形容這些立體派. 不過台灣版的確可以改進, 也許可以譯成"瘋狂的邊緣分子"

"......而且, fringe的marginal, lunatic無理性癲味最好也表示出來, 不然原文直接用radical就可以了 若也概化推衍成中文的激進狂熱極端而隱其"原形" 似不能盡現文本意蘊的nuance, 文字表現的subtlety 因為T.R.之所以用此二字, 就是在說這些人是瘋瘋癲癲的邊緣人 那種捍衛中道, 自許正常核心的"大欺小"context心理昭然若揭"

"Nuance"的本意為何呢？

李明宗

翻閱洪雯倩所著《歐洲人文行板 音樂與文學間的時空絮語》一書，在〈美感，來自孤寂的凝視——蕭邦〉一文中，以下數句話特別引起我關注：

【蕭邦要的是Nuance：精細入微之處。一種孤寂凝視的美感。……事實上，一個潛心功課的藝術家，過的日子，就和僧侶是沒什麼兩樣的。靜心諦聽，見性生慧。孤獨中，一再的自我要求，為的，就是精緻靈性化的生活。】

到底 "Nuance"的本意為何呢？經查大略有以下的意義：

★ a subtle distinction or variation (某種細緻的差異或變化)

★ a subtle quality (某種精微的品質)

★ sensibility to, awareness of, or ability to express delicate shadings (as of meaning, feeling, or value) (具有感性、知覺、或能力去表達意義、感覺、或價值的精妙光影)

我立即聯想到這一年多來，我小孩修練烘焙咖啡豆的心路歷程，與沖泡咖啡手法的獨特細膩，我以往喝咖啡從未如此講究感官精微的差異。

nuance
n.〔色・音・調子・意味・感情などの〕微妙な差違，ニュアンス，陰影; 微妙な色合い〔of〕.

1. A subtle or slight degree of difference, as in meaning, feeling, or tone; a gradation.
2. Expression or appreciation of subtle shades of meaning, feeling, or tone: a rich artistic performance, full of nuance.

[French, from Old French, from nuer, to shade, cloud, from nue, cloud, from Vulgar Latin *nūba, from Latin nūbēs.]

nuanced nu'anced adj.

SYNONYMS nuance, gradation, shade. These nouns denote a slight variation or differentiation between nearly identical entities: sensitive to delicate nuances of style; gradations of feeling from infatuation to deep affection; subtle shades of meaning.
