前言

　　我喜欢王正元、王燕两位教授主编的这套“中英双语典藏之走进文学世界”丛书，这套书包括英国文学、美国文学、加拿大文学、法国文学、德国文学各一本，每本选材都独具匠心，翻译精心，足以称得上色彩纷呈、琳琅满目、质纯形美、品味高雅，译者给读者献上了一道具有西方特色和品味的经典文学。文字是宝贵的精神食粮，好的文学作品如同好的食品--细品其味，会发现其醇厚的营养和不失光辉的品味，并从中得到新的启迪。　　首先从选文来看，从欧洲到北美，跨越几个世纪，选出不同时代、不同国度、不同流派、不同风格的作家及其作品，而且还要适合今天人们的阅读追求，实在不是一件轻而易举的事情。其次是译注，这个问题忽视不得。任何一个民族的文学不仅是它经历的时代的产物，也是它悠久文化积淀最厚重的部分。如果对异国的宗教传统、文化意识、美学观念、价值取向都陌生，而仅通过语言来认识显然不够，所以翻译中的文化元素是不可忽视的。姑且不谈近年来我们在译注外国作品中出现多少错误，就拿本国人在译注本民族的文化遗产时所出现的错误也是触目惊心的！把“贵阳”译成Expensive Sun（昂贵的太阳）固然荒唐，但硬将“四喜丸子”译成Meat Balls（肉丸）也欠缺考虑（因为西方人不理解超大的Meat Ball为什么叫I，ion's Head（狮子头），于是就把菜单上的“狮子”的头割掉了）。语言文字中没有文化、歪曲文化、甚至回避文化一直是有些译注的痼疾。由此看来，真正得到一套像样的双语文学丛书确是一件值得庆幸的事情。　　这套“中英双语典藏之走进文学世界”丛书的译者都是辽宁各大学的教授、副教授，是我们辽宁翻译学会的会员，他们是一批很有才气、朝气蓬勃的中年人。他们译笔不止，屡有新的译著问世。他们的翻译实践和成果，如同棕榈树，向上而挺拔。我祝愿这套丛书在译者、编辑的辛勤耕耘下，像棕榈树一样长得茁壮、挺拔，总是飘逸着令人神怡的芳香。

章节摘录

　　When he felt sure that he had perfectly subdued the ferocity of hiscapricious companion, whose hunger had been satisfied so cruelly thenight before, he got up to leave the grotto. The panther let him go, butwhen he had climbed the hill, she came bounding after him with thelightness of a sparrow hopping from branch to branch, and rubbedherself against the soldier's leg, arching her back after the fashion of acat. Then looking at her guest with eyes whose brightness had grownless inflexible, she uttered that savage cry which naturalists havecompared to the sound of a saw.　　"What an exacting beauty！" cried the Frenchman, smiling. He sethimself to play with her ears, to caress her body, and to scratch herhead hard with his nails. Then, growing bolder with success, hetickled her skull with the point of his dagger, watching for the spot tostrike her. But the hardness of the bones made him afraid of failing.　　The sultana of the desert approved the action of her slave byraising her head, stretching her neck, and showing her delight by thequietness of her attitude. The Frenchman suddenly reflected that inorder to assassinate this fierce princess with one blow he need onlystab her in the neck. He had just raised his knife for the attempt, whenthe panther, with a graceful action, threw herself upon the groundbefore his feet, casting him from time to time a look in which, in spiteof its ferocity of nature, there was a gleam of tenderness.　　The poor Provencal, with his back against a palm tree, ate hisdates, while he cast inquiring glances, now towards the desert fordeliverers, now upon his terrible companion, to keep an eye upon herdubious clemency. Every time he threw away a date-stone, the pantherfixed her eyes upon the spot with inconceivable mistrust. Shescrutinized the Frenchman with a business-like attention; but theexamination seemed favorable, for when he finished his poor meal, shelicked his boots, and with her rough, strong tongue removed the dustincrusted in their creases.　　……
