One story about Jack, an Irishman, who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan), so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.
Well, Irish children made Jack's lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip, hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o'-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

羅伯特·布里奇 Robert Bridges - A School Portrait/r/n
我已有多年未訪問伊頓公學(xué);當(dāng)有一天從Fellow’s Library [1] 經(jīng)過進(jìn)入陳列室時,我看到我的校友Digby Dolben [2] 的肖像與我們這個時代最卓越的人的肖像掛在了一起。我完全被吸引住了,而當(dāng)我駐足凝視它時,我的同伴問我是否知道他是誰。我想,除了幾個我記得起名字的人之外,我?guī)缀跻欢ㄊ俏ㄒ恢赖娜肆。少年時代的遙遠(yuǎn)記憶就像才發(fā)生一樣向我簇?fù)矶鴣恚核忠淮握驹谖疑砼,年輕、躊躇滿志;我仿佛能聽到他的聲音,他一點(diǎn)也沒變;然而,當(dāng)我被關(guān)于他的時間之霧包圍時,我好奇他會怎么想,他是否知道在他去世30年后的這一刻,他的記憶會因此得以保存并受人敬仰,就在這所名校中,在他微妙的靈魂一度被奇怪地困擾的地方。/r/n
這個老伊頓學(xué)生肖像的陳列館中掛出的肖像是經(jīng)過精挑細(xì)選的:出身顯赫、品格高貴可以為你在那贏得一個席位,或者在畢業(yè)后與學(xué)校有官方上的聯(lián)系——他們熱衷于維持師生之間不變的全景畫,熱衷于讓那些與繼承學(xué)校傳統(tǒng)的面貌形象有關(guān)的校史記錄保持鮮活。但,Dolben的肖像為什么會在那呢?因?yàn)樗且粋詩人?——這我知道,但他的詩歌鮮為人知,都被家人和少數(shù)幾個朋友小心翼翼地保存了起來。即使這些數(shù)量稀少的作品能入得了負(fù)責(zé)挑選肖像的權(quán)威人士的法眼,也并不足以讓他名列其中。還有另外一個原因,肖像就是一種證明的效力,或許你無法看出他是詩人,但你卻可以看到圣人的特質(zhì):靈魂沉浸于深思、純潔無暇、對崇高理想滿懷熱情與獻(xiàn)身精神。這樣的特征一定使他在同齡人中出類拔萃;他的生活經(jīng)歷足以讓我們相信他是一位天賦秉異的才人。而當(dāng)他的英年早逝洗凈了記憶的塵埃并喚醒了世人的愛慕之時,吝愛的悲憫將會慷慨的賦予他未曾擁有的桂冠。/r/n

[1] Fellow’s Library位于劍橋大學(xué)耶穌學(xué)院,建于1676-77 年。/r/n
[2] Digby Dolben,羅伯特·布里奇的堂兄弟,英國詩人,于1867年6月28日溺水而卒。 Robert Bridges 譯文賞析:/r/n
1、原文:“Far memories of my boyhood were crowding freshly upon me: he was standing again/r/n
beside me in the eager promise of his youth!/r/n
譯文:“少年時代的遙遠(yuǎn)記憶就像才發(fā)生一樣向我簇?fù)矶鴣恚核忠淮握驹谖疑砼,年輕、躊躇滿志!/r/n
這句翻譯的很好。首先,作者把 ”freshly“ 譯為”像才發(fā)生一樣“,而我認(rèn)為這一點(diǎn)比劉士聰先生譯為”鮮活地涌進(jìn)“更為合理。在漢語里用“鮮活地”顯得很奇怪,因?yàn)椤磅r活地”修飾后面的動作“涌進(jìn)”,涌進(jìn)不能說是“鮮活”,只能說是“迅速地”或者“大量地”。其次,”in the eager promise of his youth”譯為“年輕、躊躇滿志”也很巧妙。譯者并沒有死板得按照英文的語法順序,而事實(shí)上這樣做也根本行不通。把 ”youth” 譯為漢語中的“年輕”,名詞轉(zhuǎn)化為形容詞,而“eager promise”在理解意義的基礎(chǔ)上找出對應(yīng)的漢語四字結(jié)構(gòu),既語義準(zhǔn)確,又沒有丟掉英文的文筆。劉士聰先生譯為“煥發(fā)著青春的風(fēng)采”,顯得有些平淡無味。/r/n
2、原文:while I, wrap from him in a confused mist of time, was wondering what he would think, could he know that at this actual moment he would have been dead thirty years, and that his memory would be thus preserved and honored in the beloved school, where his delicate spirit had been so strangely troubled./r/n
譯文:然而,當(dāng)我被關(guān)于他的時間之霧包圍時,我好奇他會怎么想,他是否知道在他去世30年后的這一刻,他的記憶會因此得以保存并受人敬仰,就在這所名校中,在他微妙的靈魂一度被奇怪地困擾的地方。/r/n
我認(rèn)為這部分翻譯的有失妥當(dāng),可以參照劉士聰先生譯文:“同時我在尋思著,因?yàn)榕c他之間相隔一段宛若迷霧的年月,假如他知道在這一時刻他已經(jīng)死了三十年,他可愛的母校在以這樣的方式紀(jì)念他,給他這樣高的榮譽(yù),而他上學(xué)時,他脆弱的心靈曾經(jīng)莫名其妙地?zé)⿶肋^,他會作怎樣的感想呢?”/r/n
試譯:而我與他相隔迷霧般縈繞的時間,尋思如果他知道此時他已逝世三十年,并被他所深愛的母!拇嗳蹯`魂曾感受無端困惑的地方——緬懷和敬仰,他會怎么想。/r/n
3、原文:which right loves to keep up an unbroken panorama of its teachers, and to vivify its annals with the faces and figures of the personalities who carried on its traditions./r/n
譯文:他們熱衷于維持師生之間不變的全景畫,熱衷于讓那些與繼承學(xué)校傳統(tǒng)的面貌形象有關(guān)的校史記錄保持鮮活。/r/n
這一句話譯者自己也沒有理解原文意思,所以翻譯出來就更加抽象難懂?梢詤⒄談⑹柯斪g文:“而校方也希望完整地再現(xiàn)教師隊(duì)伍的全貌,使那些保持了學(xué)校傳統(tǒng)的名人形象構(gòu)成的校史有生氣!/r/n
