The Perils of Interpreting 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

The 1793 British embassy to China, which led to Lord George Macartney’s fraught encounter with the Qianlong emperor, has often been viewed as a clash of cultures fueled by the East’s disinterest in the West. In The Perils of Interpreting, Henrietta Harrison presents a more nuanced picture, ingeniously shifting the historical lens to focus on Macartney’s two interpreters at that meeting—Li Zibiao and George Thomas Staunton. Who were these two men? How did they intervene in the exchanges that they mediated? And what did these exchanges mean for them? From Galway to Chengde, and from political intrigues to personal encounters, Harrison reassesses a pivotal moment in British-China relations. She shows that there were Chinese who were familiar with the West, but growing tensions endangered those who embraced both cultures and would eventually culminate in the Opium Wars.

Harrison demonstrates that the Qing court’s ignorance about the British did not simply happen, but was manufactured through the repression of cultural go-betweens like Li and Staunton. She traces Li’s influence as Macartney’s interpreter, the pressures Li faced in China as a result, and his later years in hiding. Staunton interpreted successfully for the British East India Company in Canton, but as Chinese anger grew against British imperial expansion in South Asia, he was compelled to flee to England. Harrison contends that in silencing expert voices, the Qing court missed an opportunity to gain insights that might have prevented a losing conflict with Britain.

Uncovering the lives of two overlooked figures, The Perils of Interpreting offers a valuable argument for cross-cultural understanding in a better-connected world.

鸦战之前,中英两国都有对彼此有所了解的民众在,为何这场战争没能避免?关于异国的知识如何传播,而这些知识又能对一个国家的外交决策产生多大程度的影响…….种种在本书中展开的问题,都能让今日的我们有“似曾相识之感”。 (小斯当东和李自标都是其祖国的“文化异乡人”,这点竟让我很能共情…….

以近代史史料之繁复,能够爬梳多语言档案、洞悉其中的草蛇灰线、又能以“深描”的叙事方式把大小历史结合起来的学者不多,沈老师算一位。数十年来关于马戛尔尼使团访华的研究汗牛充栋,但作者却别出心裁地将目光投注在了此行的两位译员身上,也因此有了许多有趣的发现:比如拉丁文才是翻译过程中的medium language,因为华人李自标自幼在那不勒斯学院接受的是古典学教育,并没有相应的英文知识,只能靠拉丁文与使节团进行沟通;以及使节团提出的天主教传教自由的要求其实是李出于自己的天主教徒背景而夹带进的“私货”,尽管并未获得成功。作者认为嘉庆时期对这种in-between的文化中介者的不信任导致了译者的疏离,进而造成决策者对英帝国信息的缺失和误判。如果最后没有又回到检讨鸦片战争失败原因的老路上就更好了……

真的太好看了!此处立誓要写出一本差不多好看的!

今天我们的外交翻译足够好吗?作者说英国人可能还是听不懂翻译官总的古代表达,以及比较让人困惑的某理论术语翻译……读完有些难过。不管你做了什么,那不过是夏天里飘过的一朵云……鸦片战争的爆发就是因为贸易逆差导致,是不可避免的。双方好译者的缺失只是加速事情的发生一点点……

译者=背叛的历史渊源,在關詩珮的书里有所领略。作者所谓的「危险」,主要和译者掌握的域外知识有关;而轻视贬低文献以外的口头知识(包括口译),间接导致当权者无知蒙昧,埋下了悲剧的种子。一种抹平差异、倾向调和的翻译范式(李自标、斯当东)逐渐被强调文明等级的典范取代。叙事流畅,部分英文断句有小错,前半部勾勒十八世纪欧亚天主教往来,英国上流社会的教育,很新奇。李自始至终的动力源自虔诚,翻译夹带「私货」险酿大祸,后半生东躲西藏令人动容。斯当东在仕途上郁郁不得志,被视为chinoiserie奇观的一部分,似是区域研究学者从政的某种写照。
