　　大概每一个外国文学爱好者都遇到过译本不好的尴尬事———如果只是随便看来消遣的书，看不下去也就罢了，如果是自己喜欢的作家，则是件折磨人的事———一部分英文足够好的人会选择去找原文来看，而像我这样英文不够好的大多数，则只好一边打心眼里咒骂这破烂的翻译，一边硬着头皮看下去。
　　当计算机上出现“全文翻译”软件时，我也曾认为是救星降临了，但使用过一次才发现，所谓的“全文翻译”软件，不过是一个自动的英汉词典，将单词一个挨一个地翻译成中文，然后再按照顺序排在一起———机器翻译的东西，根本就没法看。

　　在那之后，机器自动翻译沉寂了很久，以至于它是何时又回到我们的屏幕上的，我完全没有注意到———最近一次接触到机器自动翻译，只不过是因为一次偶然，误点了Google搜索页面上“翻译此页”的链接———然后发现，虽然文法依然一塌糊涂，但我竟然能够读懂其中的一些段落了。总之是比“东方快车”之类的大号英汉词典有了长足的进步。

　　之后我才了解到，机器自动翻译的复兴，始于2005年的一次NIST（美国国家标准与技术局）举办的机器自动翻译大赛———结果是意料之内的，Google拿下了那次比赛的

随着点对点（P2P）传播技术的快速推广，不少网友迷上了网络影视下载。

    “只要点点鼠标，就能看最热门的电视剧，多时尚！”有网友告诉记者。

    电视剧的下载离不开后期翻译工作。据了解，网络上现在活跃着这样一群网友，他们通过影视论坛主动要求加入到制作队伍中来，免费承担起翻译、字幕、调校时间轴等后期制作工作。

    出于兴趣无偿工作

    网友小兔兜是一位日本动漫字幕翻译者。她说：“以我的经验和周围朋友的情况来看，平均翻译一部20分钟的动画片需要3～4个小时，这还不包括先前的熟悉剧本等准备工作。”

    小兔兜大叹苦水说：“就动漫和日剧而言，由于没法拿到剧本台词，所以我们的翻译全靠自己听。很多意思都要自己去揣测，翻译过程真的很辛苦”。

    这些热衷于字幕翻译的网友完全是无偿工作的，没有任何现金报酬，而且翻译组成员大都有自己的工作和学习，所以这项工作也会占用他们很多业余时间。

    在网络上，像小兔兜这样的人还有很多，有专门提供影片，有负责字幕翻译，还有负责后期制作。既然没有报酬，为什么还有那么多的人愿意为字幕组

懂外文和写好中
——读译著有感

　　前不久写一篇文章，其中有一个意思，左思右想得不到好的表达，于是就偷懒用了一个西式的句子，叫做“用××终结了×××的光荣”。文章是写出版界的旧事，写好后给商务印书馆的一位前辈同事看，文章一共４０００多字，他居然一眼把这句话挑了出来。“这是一句西式句子，不太好，不如删去。”

　　前不久一家杂志发了一篇由阎克文撰写的批评马克斯·韦伯《经济与社会》一书的文章，主要是讲此书在翻译上存在的问题。举其一例，“ｏｎｅ　ｎｅｅｄ　ｎｏｔ　ｈａｖｅ　ｂｅｅｎ　Ｃａｅｓａｒ　ｉｎ　ｏｒｄｅｒ　ｔｏ　ｕｎｄｅｒｓｔａｎｄ　Ｃａｅｓａｒ”被译为“不需要当恺撒，才能理解恺撒”。当然不通！作者指出，这段应译为“理解恺撒无须先成为恺撒”。

　　当今社会，人们每天都要接收大量从其他语言翻译过来的信息。相对于图书，见诸报端和网络的翻译文字，虽然错漏百出，有时候倒是能够流利地阅读。许多引进版图书，尤其是社会科学类书籍，本身即有许多艰涩难懂之处，再加上糟糕的译文，读起来简直是一种折磨。待你充满幻想去阅读之时，便是幻想破灭之时。虽然你读到的是熟悉的汉字与词汇，文法逻

　　昆虫生态实验课上，年轻的昆虫老师正在向同学们教授如何通过昆虫的脚来辩认昆虫的种类，忽然老师发现一个学生总是在同旁边的同学说话，不肯认真听讲。于是老师走过去，很严肃地问道”你是哪个班的同学，叫什么名字？”这个同学愣了一下，然后把自己的脚伸出来很认真地回答说“你看看我的脚，我是谁呀！”

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE - THE THIRD TASK

Dumbledore reckons You-Know-Who´s getting stronger again as well?"  Ron whispered.
Everything Harry had seen in the Pensieve, nearly everything Dumbledore had told and shown him afterward, he had now shared with Ron and Hermione - and, of course, with Sirius, to whom Harry had sent an owl the moment he had left Dumbledore´s office.  Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat up late in the common room once again that night, talking it all over until Harry´s mind was ree

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN - PADFOOT RETURNS

One of the best things about the aftermath of the second task was that everybody was very keen to hear details of what had happened down in the lake, which meant that Ron was getting to share Harry´s limelight for once.  Harry noticed that Ron´s version of events changed subtly with every retelling.  At first, he gave what seemed to be the truth; it tallied with Hermione´s story, anyway - Dumbledore had put all the hostages into a bewitched sleep in Prof

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN - THE FOUR CHAMPIONS

Harry sat there, aware that every head in the Great Hall had turned to look at him.  He was stunned.  He felt numb.  He was surely dreaming.  He had not heard correctly.
There was no applause.  A buzzing, as though of angry bees, was starting to fill the Hall; some students were standing up to get a better look at Harry as he sat, frozen, in his seat.
Up at the top table, Professor McGonagall had got to her feet and swept past Ludo Bagman and Pro

Don´t tell your mother you´ve been gambling," Mr. Weasley implored Fred and George as they all made their way slowly down the purple-carpeted stairs.
"Don´t worry, Dad," said Fred gleefully, "we´ve got big plans for this money. We don´t want it confiscated."
Mr. Weasley looked for a moment as though he was going to ask what these big plans were, but seemed to decide, upon reflection, that he didn´t want to know.
They were soon caught up in the crowds no

He sent me this," Hermione said, holding out the letter.

Harry took it. The parchment was damp, and enormous teardrops had
smudged the ink so badly in places that it was very difficult to read.

Dear Hermione, We lost. I´m allowed to bring him back to Hogwarts.

In no time at all, Defense Against the Dark Arts had become most

Professor Lupin passed. "He dresses like our old houseelf "

But no one else cared that Professor Lupin´s robes were patched and
frayed. His next few lessons were just as interesting as the firs

OWL POST

Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways. For one thing, he
hated the summer holidays more than any other time of year. For another,
he really wanted to do his homework but was forced to do it in secret,
in the dead of night. And he also happened to be a wizard.

It was nearly midnight, and he was lying on his stomach in bed, the
blankets drawn right over his head like a tent, a flashlight i

爆笑：
某天傍晚，Cindy下了班回到家，如同往常一样下厨准备晚餐。但是她却发现厨房的水 槽排水管好像堵住了，于是她打电话给水电工William，希望他能来帮忙修理。William一口就答应了，他说他会在明天下午过去Cindy家看看。由于是在Cindy的上班时间内，因此Cindy告诉他：“我会把钥匙放在门口的踏脚垫下，你自己进来。我有养一只秋田犬，它很乖，你不用担心。另外，我还养了一只鹦鹉，它是个麻烦的家伙。你进来的时候，不管它跟你说些什。记得！绝对不要和鹦鹉说话。”William听了虽然满腹疑惑，但还是说好。

　　第二天下午，William按时到了Cindy的家中，进了门开始修理厨房的水槽。狗儿很乖，没有叫也没有凶他。鹦鹉则不断聒噪地对他话、大叫。刚开始William记得Cindy的嘱咐而没有理它，但鹦鹉还是不断的大叫。过一会儿William终于忍受不住了，他对着鹦鹉大 吼：“Shutup！你这只大笨鸟！”鹦鹉愣了一下，William还以为自己的大吼有了一些效果。接着，只听见鹦鹉模仿Cindy的声音说：“Doggy！去咬他！”然后就只听到厨房传来一阵的惨叫声～~~~^_^

连载之四：个人的成长需要找到自己的比较优势

人与人虽然没有优劣之分，但却有很大不同。一次参加一个论坛，有位教授说了一个观点：一个人不需要每件事都做的好。其实只要一件事做的好，你就有下一次机会。我觉得很有道理。象我遇到很多做记者的同行，他们说：杨澜你多幸运，能采访那么多国家元首和政府首脑，我们都没有这个机会。而我其实是从采访一个区长开始的。所以要是区长没采访好，就不要去采访市长；市长没采访好，就不要采访部长；等部长采访好了，再想副总理、总理、总统。

对于医学，我不是很懂，但我也了解到，也有这种比较优势存在。有的医学生，在学校理论学的很好，但手比较笨，所以在临床上就不适合做外科医生。有的理论学的不是很精专，但手很灵巧，就可以成为外科的“一把刀“。这就是每个人有不同的比较优势。

一般来讲，一个人刚刚大学毕业，走上工作岗位的时候，容易产生这种思想：我一定要做一项很有意义的工作，或者我很有兴趣的工作。其实根本不用着急。可以先做一些看上去“大材小用”，或者完全事务性的工作。但如果你能在这件工作上做得比别人好一点点，不需要很多，你就有下一次机会去做更大的事。但如果你什么都不做

杨澜曾经在她的博客上分六天连载了她在北京大学医学部所做的演讲：《成长：你唯一的把握》，和大家分享对于成长和成功的感悟。很受益，也很感动.

连载之一：个人的成长需要寻找三个坐标
在我来之前，曾委托院方向同学们征集问题。我注意到大家都希望我来谈谈“如何成功？”这个问题。说实在的，这个题目，让我感觉很惶恐。首先现代社会的多元化，对于什么是成功，没有一个统一的说法。我不敢肯定自己是不是成功。因为一个人的成功与否更多的是你周围的人对你的评价和判断。正如古人所说：是非审之于己，毁誉听之于人。的确，毁誉就不是自己能说了算的。再者我认为所谓的成功，在很大程度上取决于机遇，外界的环境等等的影响，很难在人与人之间进行一种简单的复制。甚至可以说，成功是难以把握的。成功是一种结果，而今天，我更想谈一谈这个过程，也就是成长。对于我来说，我有一个很深的体会就是：人生在世，你唯一能够有把握的也就是成长。因此，我把“成长：你唯一的把握”作为今天与大家交流的题目。

什么是个人的成长？我觉得我做了母亲以后，我对成长有了一个更新的认识。有一次，我女儿幼儿园的老师给孩子们出了一道题：“如果世界上只有一种颜色……

1、我一个人要乘出租车，司机问我：

2、一人从车祸的现场走开，迎面有人拦住他：

3、车开得飞快，一个老太婆趴在窗外看著我。    

4、开摩托车接女朋友下班，后半夜有点凉，女友温柔的张开双手搂住我。    
   忽然她摸我脸：“冷吗？”刚想接口    
   忽然发现腰际女友的双手一直没离开，啊！    

5、昨夜上网，朋友突然来敲我家窗户叫我出去玩~！正准备开窗说不去，    
   才突然想起自己搬家了，从1楼搬到10楼~~  那是谁啊？？    

6、午夜里，由噩梦中惊醒的我，看到哥哥坐在床边，轻轻地问我：“怎么了？”    
   我说：梦见一群抱着自己脑袋的鬼追我！    
   是不是这样的？说着，哥哥把他的头摘下来了。    

7、办公室的高层电梯只停15-30楼，在30楼工作的小F，一天加班到深夜后独自坐电梯下楼

"I never thought Id see the day when you´d be persuading us to

"How long will it take to make, anyway?" said Harry as Hermione,
looking happier, opened the book again.

"Well, since the fluxweed has got to be picked at the full moon and
the lacewings have got to be stewed for twenty-one days ... I´d say
it´d be ready in about a month, if we can get all the ingredi

Malfoy couldn´t believe his eyes when he saw that Harry and Ron were
still at Hogwarts the next day, looking tired but perfectly cheerful.
Indeed, by the next morning Harry and Ron thought that meeting the
three-headed dog had been an excellent adventure, and they were quite
keen to have another one. In the meantime, Harry filled Ron in about the
package that seemed to have been moved from Gringotts to Hogwarts, and
they spent a lot of time wondering what could

CHAPTER ONE

THE BOY WHO LIVED

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say
that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last
people you´d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious,
because they just didn´t hold with such nonsense.

Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made
drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did
have a very
