GEORGE STEINER(1929- ):美國學者、翻譯理論傢。精通英、德、法三種語言,在英美多所大學執教,主要講授語言學和翻譯理論。日內瓦大學(University of Geneva)英語和比較文學名譽教授
'Translation has long needed a champion, and at last in George Steiner it has found a scholar who is a match for the task.' Sunday Times First published in 1975, After Babel constituted the first systematic investigation of the theory and processes of translation since the eighteenth century. In mapping out its own field, it quickly established itself as both controversial and seminal, and gave rise to a considerable, and still-growing, body of secondary literature. Even today, with its status as a modern classic beyond question, many of the books insights remain provocative and challenging. For the second edition of After Babel, George Steiner entirely revised the text, added new and expanded notes, provided a substantially updated bibliography (including much Russian and Eastern European material), and wrote a new preface setting the book in the present context of hermeneutics, poetics, and translation studies. 'Steiner's subject is extravagantly rich and he ponders it on the most generous scale...his language and his ideas display even-handedness, seriousness without heaviness, learning without pedantry, and sober charm.' New Yorker.

Translators are men groping towards each other in a common mist.//The two primary realities of language: the creative and the masking.//We read little that is ancient or demanding; we know less by heart.
評分終於,又讀不下去瞭。。。
評分YO:莎士比亞戲劇沒什麼完整性,每次搬上舞颱都是刪減版。他活在今天就是寫颱詞的.語言與智商並沒有多大聯係,喬姆斯基隻懂英語,有的餐廳領班能熟練遊走於十幾種語言之間。最後,和隻插竹葉的賣花姑娘一樣,精通數國語言的大師認為,真正的理解隻有在靜默中纔能達到。狐狸不是對小王子說過,語言是誤解的根源?
評分用到的literature和theory都太dense瞭,每一頁讀完我都要思考好久,導緻無法一次性讀完,隻得把戰綫拖得這麼長,前前後後讀瞭半個多月...但其實Steiner很多arguments的齣發點都並非理論,而是常識。所以某些方麵這本高深的書又顯得非常接地氣。
評分翻譯課恰好做他The Hermeneutic Motion節選的presentation,短短五頁內容緊實又有條理,讀瞭我好久卻又不得不服,於是把整本書藉來看(75首版的,據說重發第二本時他刪改瞭很多,還加進去瞭些新的內容,比如Derrida,第三版最當下)。作者本人在英法德三語傢庭中長大(也是贏在瞭起跑綫上),可以說是個Kabbalist,書裏的援引無所不有又天衣無縫,現在還在震撼的餘波中。有些人很煩他愛用"big words",但覺得其實用得並不賣弄,真的隻是最便捷實際的概念打包方式。
