Amazon Deforestation, Once Tamed, Comes Roaring Back
『更有感於當年 美國雷根總統的名言 Leaving Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history 被國內報刊倉促間誤譯為「將馬列主義棄置於歷史的灰燼之上」。 認為 ash 固然是「灰燼」,但「歷史」無論好壞,都不能燒除得了;而 ash 一 字之後,如再加一個名詞,其意義就變了。例如 ash bin/ ash can 都是「垃圾箱」, ash cart 是 「垃圾車」,ash heap 則是「垃圾堆」;因此,將 ashheap 譯為「灰燼」,也是極大的錯誤,個人早有釐清的意願。如今,錫蕃兄的《咬文嚼字話翻譯》一書,業已打開一條通路,相信此書之問世,必然為國人研究或使用中西文 字,注入一股活力與清流,帶動中國文學走向更璀燦的時代。』 ──以上錄自倪搏九推薦序《咬文嚼字話翻譯》∼(台北:天下出版)
