[妙語試譯] 2011.06.13 高行健

[spacedunce5 (CJ)]

作家無節制自戀是一種幼稚病，誠然，初學寫作時，人人難免。

                                        ——高行健



The unqualified narcissism of an author is a symptom of puerility; of course,
when in the infancy of writerhood, it happens to everybody.

                                        ----Gao Xingjian

推 callcallpp:作家極端自戀就是幼稚。新手既然「稚」嫩，難免如此。
→ callcallpp:這樣玩文字不知道會不會太偏XD
→ spacedunce5:感覺會變成 tautology；話說這是中翻英喔
→ callcallpp:挖嗚~真的耶~拍謝沒看清楚XDDD
→ callcallpp:這代表S大英文太好了，讓我分不出來！
推 kenneth1018:我想到在Marvel版看過的某個簽名檔
→ kenneth1018:"作家就像曝露狂,無法忍受沒有人看!" :P
→ spacedunce5:一樓，只代表我中文太差寫不出這句
推 qi3qi3:原文中的"誠然"的意思應該不是"應該"而是"雖然如此"吧?
→ qi3qi3:用however是否比較符合原意?
→ spacedunce5:in this usage, of course = however
→ spacedunce5:my wife doesn't like pie; of course, neither do i.
→ spacedunce5:...ambiguous example= =
→ spacedunce5:i hate this professor; of course, that doesn't
→ spacedunce5:mean i hate his class.
推 qi3qi3: 原來如此，感謝指教^^
