凡尔纳《海底两万里》(Vingt mille lieues sous les mers,1870),书中那艘神秘的潜艇名叫 “Nautilus”,除了1961年曾觉之老先生的译本音译作『诺第留斯号』,其它汉译本一般译作 『鹦鹉螺号』。 这是一个不太容易被察觉的误译:此处的 Nautilus,并非是动物分类学意义上的...
评分《海底两万里》这部书是凡尔纳三部曲中最具科幻魔力的,小时候我也读过此书,但是通过假期对这本书的重读,我对这个作品有了更加深刻的认识。 我认为这本书是一本好书,它主要讲述的是这样一个故事:一位教授阿隆纳斯先生,一为鱼叉手尼德师傅和仆人康塞尔三人为了捕捉所谓...
评分犹记得曾经有次面试,对方突然问我看科幻小说吗?我说看啊,然后就没有然后了。 但还是很好奇他为什么会问这么问题,跟工作毫无关系的啊。直到有一次拉着他问,他才说:如果你不看科幻小说,就说明你一点都不关心未来,这是一个心理测试题目。不看的人都会被筛选掉...
评分最近晕头转向,好久没写东西了。 刚才刷牙时想到儒勒凡尔纳。一个小朋友说自己在看《海底两万里》,让我想起童年。童年的大多数课余时光是在读书中度过的,儒勒凡尔纳是那时相对喜欢的,读的也比较多的作家。大概是三四年级的时候,还写了一篇作文《神秘岛读后感》,...

For the past 120 years, readers of English have known only a poor imitation of Jules Verne's classic French novel Vingt Mille Lieues Sous les Mers and consequently relegated the writer to the category of a "boy's author." Since 1873 the standard English version has been Lewis Mercier's mangled "translation," a work that's filled with errors, mistranslations, and bogus additions, and missing nearly a quarter of Verne's original text.
Now, thanks to the life-long efforts of two Verne scholars, the English-speaking world at last has access to a definitive translation, the only English version based solely on the level of literary artist and scientific visionary, a category he has always enjoyed in Europe and Russia.
Mercier's act of literary vandalism went unnoticed until 1965, when New York University English professor Walter Miller discovered the missing text and began the restoration of the Verne masterpiece. After nearly thirty years of work, including rigorous examinations of his translation by experts in marine technology and biology, Miller teamed that Frederick Paul Walter in 1992 to create this landmark scientific and literary achievement.
Restored to the volume along with the original woodcut illustrations are the entertaining and often prescient drams of Captain Nemo, widely considered the prototypical science-fiction character. In this novel alone Verne has anticipated submarine diving planes, scuba gear, underwater laboratories, and marine ecological disasters. He also inspired large-scale underwater mining and farming of flora and fauna, and electricity from thermoclines, all currently in development.
Restoration of these visionary ideas and some twenty-three percent of the original text is certain to elevate Verne's standing in American scientific and literary circles.
