Book excerpt: 《維克斐牧師傳》，漢譯名又作《威克菲德的牧師》，愛爾蘭 作家歌士米（1730-1774）所著，為英國維多利亞時期最流行的小說之一，被譽為「諷刺感性小說」,行文美不勝收, 影響深遠，大文 豪葛特(歌德)、司各脫皆推崇備至。小說描寫一家庭遭逢大變，仍存心愷悌，對於人事得失、公平寬恕、受禍不減其駟良、遇變不失 其常度, 終於渡過厄運的考驗及獲得應有的回報。 譯註者伍光建（1867-1943）為中國近代三大翻譯家之一、白話文翻譯英文文學之父。本譯註前後歷時二十年完成，為伍氏傾心力最多、最用功之代 表作，堪稱近代英漢譯著的經典及模範。譯筆典雅、優美、簡潔，形神俱備。文學翻譯每每涉及文化差異，比一般翻譯困難，伍氏加 入譯註及按語以教化、開示後學，不失教育家本色。伍氏指出原著「語淺意深」，其譯註皆有畫龍點晴之功，讀者宜再三玩味！ “The Vicar of Wakefield” by Irish author Oliver Goldsmith, was one of the most popular novels during British Victorian Era. It was well-received as both a satire and a sentimental novel, and greatly influenced later Man of Letters such as von Goethe and Sir Walter Scott. This Chinese version was translated and annotated by Woo Kwang-Kien, one of the three greatest translators of modern China, over a time-span of two decades. This work was a classic and quintessence of early modern translation from English to Chinese that had demonstrated Woo´s concise, classically elegant and beautiful writing style. Literature translation always encounters problems arising from cultural differences and thus much more demanding. We cordially encourage readers to ruminate thoroughly Woo´s annotations and notes in this one of his representative work.
