Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), English historian. It was on a visit to Rome that he conceived the idea of his magnificent and panoramic history The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (6 vol., 1776--88) which won immediate acclaim, despite some harsh criticism. Gibbon himself was assured of the greatness of his work, which is, indeed, one of the most-read historical works of modern times.

读席译《罗马帝国衰亡史》第一卷笔记 本书译笔尚算流畅,但是译者不是专门的历史学者,硬伤颇多,而且吉林出版集团的编辑们在修改译名的时候,又错上加错,特别是删掉了《译者说明》提到的《索引》、《参考书目》和《人名词汇》,荒谬之极。以下是本人粗读第一卷找到的一...
评分这本书的翻译坏到了不可思议的地步。不要说信达雅这些东西,基本的语法都不同,英文里的从句原封不动地变成中文,结果结构混乱不堪,一个长句子可以没有一个主语,也可以有七八个主语。从句和主句结构不分。读起来让人憋气。 我就不理解:哪怕粗略一翻,就会发现无数读不通的病...
评分读注(冯象) 一 世上的书可分两类,有注的和没注的。 有一天,我的洋教女从她的神话书上抬起头来,指着我看的书问:这是什么?Faustina,我说。那阵子她刚开始学着读故事,我的任务,是替她把不会念的神明鬼怪的名字念出来。不,这是什么?她把小手指摁在Fausti...
评分我在图书馆看了一册,的确有些译名有问题,有些地方相同名字有不同译法,不过这可能是由于编辑分工不同的缘故,并不影响阅读,至少比商务译丛里面乱七八糟的译名和繁体字要好得多。据我所知这可是大陆第一本全译本,席代岳并非是专业人士,但译作一点也不比专业的差,这...
评分《罗马帝国衰亡史》读了一半有感… 前前后后花了近一年功夫,把吉本的这部堂皇巨著读了一半,也就是到了西罗马帝国覆灭的时节。 以前不知道吉本的谋篇布局,原以为既然叫罗马帝国衰亡史,肯定是到阿拉里克和阿提拉就结束了,毕竟我向来并不认为拜占庭和神罗是罗马帝国。现在看...

Edward Gibbon's six-volume History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88) is among the most magnificent and ambitious narratives in European literature. Its subject is the fate of one of the world's greatest civilizations over thirteen centuries - its rulers, wars and society, and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. Here, in volumes one and two, Gibbon charts the vast extent and constitution of the Empire from the reign of Augustus to 395 ad. And in a controversial critique, he examines the early Church, with fascinating accounts of the first Christian and last pagan emperors, Constantine and Julian.

评分蛮族入侵和宗教兴起构成了两个核心主题。在Diocletian奠定格局之后,Constantine和Julian的对题构成了后半部作品的两个高峰
