誤譯的終結?不如等世界末日來臨
——《信仰的終結》翻譯初窺
趁時事正熱打個比方:終結不了的翻譯問題,跟宗教為人世帶來的種種災禍一樣,不可能完全根除。
彷彿語言的誤解和誤譯本身,已趕在被台灣宗教財團收攏的不肖政客通過「宗教基本法」之前,悄悄成立了宗教——The Universal Church of Miscomprehension and Mistranslation——以防人心發展出理性思考去加以干涉、甚至「迫害」。
酸話說完了。有機會,還是儘量把語言可經由理性解讀的真相呈現出來。
以下以【……】標出知名無神論者Sam Harris精彩可期的
著作The End of Faith的部分翻譯問題。
統計資料供參:
中譯是博客來上可讀到的4小頁內容,對應原文約1700字,大約每67原文字出現一個我認爲需要改正的理解與翻譯問題。原文書估計11萬6千字,在如此微小的樣本下,粗估整部中譯會有超過1700個這種語言問題。
除了以這種貌似較爲客觀、科學的計數法來判斷翻譯是否合格、過關以外,其實我認爲另一種較人性、直觀、「不科學」的方式:從「會犯哪種錯」、「該不該犯那種錯」這種「微小」地方,來得到對某譯者的整體觀感,至少是同等重要的,有時候這種「見微知著」法所揭露的事更多、更大、更不堪。
暫不一一討論問題的細節、甚至替出版社和譯者提供新的翻譯了,太費時。有興趣的人可以自行研究。問題當中肯定有的很明顯,有的較隱晦。如果你不認爲某一點有什麼問題值得大驚小怪,歡迎指出討論。也許這不失爲一種更積極的理解英語、斟酌中文、激盪思考的方法。我希望把時間花在刀口上。

譯者簡介 孔繁鐘
衛生署玉里醫院精神科主治醫師,台大化工所畢業後考上台大醫學院學士後醫學系。為孔子第七十四代後裔,因花東地區醫療資源較缺乏,與弟弟孔繁錦長期投入當地的精神醫療,照顧病情嚴重的精神病患,並翻譯多本國內精神醫學與心理學教科書。身為精神科醫師,他相信精神醫學得本執在於人性的幫助關係,而非統計分類;因此不把自己視為一個開藥者,也定義自己為為一個充滿同理心的助人者。

翻譯問題列表(依內容順序):
The young man takes his seat beside a middle-aged couple. He will wait for the bus to reach its next stop. The couple at his side 【appears to be shopping for a new refrigerator】. The woman has decided on a model, but her husband worries that it will be too expensive. He indicates another one in a brochure that lies open on her lap.
年輕男子靠著一對中年夫婦坐下。他耐心等著公車到下一站。這對夫婦【似乎正要去買新冰箱】。妻子膝蓋上攤著一份冰箱型錄,她已經選定了要買的機型,但是丈夫嫌太貴,指著另一種機型絮絮說著。
The next stop comes into view. 【The bus doors swing】.
下一站已近在眼前。【公車搖晃著】。
The nails, ball bearings, and rat poison 【ensure further casualties on the street and in the surrounding cars.】
釘子、小鋼球和毒老鼠藥【發揮了最大的殺傷力,也造成街道上和四周車輛中其他人員大量】傷亡。
These are 【the facts】. This is all we know for certain about the young man.
這些都是【真人實事】。關於這位年輕男子我們確實知道的所有實情都在這裡了。
A BELIEF is a lever that, once pulled, moves almost everything else in a person’s life. Are you a scientist? A liberal? A racist? These are merely species of 【belief in action】.
信仰是一種控制桿,一旦拉動就能操縱人們生活中幾乎所有層面的每件事。你是個科學家嗎?自由主義者?種族主義者?這些不過是【依據信仰促發的行動】而做的分類罷了。
It seems that if our species ever eradicates itself through war, it will not be because 【it was written in the stars】 but because it was written in our books; 【it is what we do with words like “God” and “paradise” and “sin” in the present】 that will determine our future.
看來若人類終將經由戰爭而自我滅絕,也絕不是因為這些想法【被寫在星空中】,而是因為它被寫在某些書籍裡;【正是我們現在所看到使用「上帝」、「天堂」與「罪惡」這些字眼的那些書籍】,決定了人類的未來。
【People tend to organize themselves into factions according to which of these incompatible claims they accept】—rather than on the basis of language, skin color, location of birth, or any other criterion of tribalism.
這些書籍的主張互不相容,而【人們傾向於把接受相同主張的人歸於同一宗派】,而非依據語言、膚色、出生地、或任何其他區分部落意識的標準。
All are 【in perverse agreement】 on one point of fundamental importance, however: “respect” for other faiths, or for the views of unbelievers, is not an attitude that God endorses.
所有這些書籍都【極力堅持】一項重要基本論點:上帝絕不贊同「尊重其他信仰或不相信者的觀點」這種態度。
【While all faiths have been touched, here and there, by the spirit of ecumenicalism,】 the central tenet of every religious tradition is that all others are mere repositories of error or, at best, dangerously incomplete. Intolerance is thus intrinsic to 【every creed】. Once a person believes—really believes—that certain ideas can lead to eternal happiness, or to its antithesis, he cannot tolerate the possibility that the people he loves might be led astray by the blandishments of unbelievers. Certainty about the next life is 【simply incompatible with tolerance in this one.】
【各處各地所有的信仰都浸潤著「真神唯一」的精神】,每個宗教的傳統核心教義都是:所有其他宗教的組成都是錯誤,若非全錯,至少也是不完全且危險的。不包容正是【所有教條】的本質。某個人一旦真心相信了某種想法能導致永恆幸福或永遠不幸,他必將無法容忍他所愛的人可能會被不相信者的花言巧語所誤導。他對來世的確信,也讓他【無法對此再多包容】。
Observations of this sort pose 【an immediate problem for us, however, because】 criticizing a person’s faith is currently taboo in every corner of our culture.
但這類觀察立即帶給我們【一個問題:因為】在我們當前文化的每個角落,批評他人的信仰都屬禁忌。
But technology has 【a way of creating】 fresh moral 【imperatives】. Our technical advances in the art of war have finally rendered our religious differences—and 【hence our religious beliefs】—antithetical to our survival. We can no longer ignore the fact that billions of our neighbors believe in the metaphysics of martyrdom, or in the literal truth of 【the book of Revelation】,
可是科技【創造了】全新的道德【指令】。人類在戰爭藝術方面的技術如此精進,終於讓我們的宗教差異以及【伴隨的宗教信仰差異】危害到人類的生存。我們再也不能忽視這項事實:我們的鄰居中成億上萬的人都相信殉教的形而上學,或相信【他們聖書】表面字義所揭示的真理,
Consider the case of alchemy: it fascinated human beings for over a thousand years, and yet anyone who seriously claims to be a practicing alchemist today will have disqualified himself for most positions of responsibility in our society. Faith-based religion 【must】 suffer the same slide into obsolescence.
以煉金術為例:它曾蠱惑人類一千多年,但在當今社會,任何人若鄭重自稱是一位煉金術士,將被認為不夠資格擔任絕大多數重要職務。同樣地,以信念為基礎的宗教【必將】落入歷史廢墟之中。
What is the alternative to 【religion as we know it】? As it turns out, this is the wrong question to ask. Chemistry was not an “alternative” to alchemy; it was a wholesale exchange of 【ignorance at its most rococo】 for genuine knowledge.
那麼【就我們所知,宗教】的替代品是什麼?其實這是個錯誤的提問。化學並不是煉金術的「替代品」;它是【以極其精巧華麗的方式,把無知】整批置換成為真正的知識。
OF COURSE, people of faith 【fall】 on a continuum:
當然,秉持信仰的人們【可以分布】在一個連續帶上:
they imagine that the path to peace will be paved once each of us has learned to respect the 【unjustified】 beliefs of others.
他們想像,一旦每個人都學會尊重其他人【無法證實】的信仰,和平之路就能順利展開。
Many religious moderates have taken the 【apparent high road】 of pluralism, asserting the equal validity of all faiths,
許多宗教溫和派已經奉行了多元主義的【大道】,確信所有不同的信仰都同等有效,
As long as a Christian believes that only his baptized brethren will be saved on the Day of Judgment, he cannot possibly “respect” the beliefs of others, for he knows that the flames of hell have been stoked by 【these very ideas】 and await their adherents even now.
只要基督徒相信在最後審判日唯有自家受洗的弟兄們才能得到救贖,他就不可能「尊重」其他信仰,因為他知道地獄的火已被【他們那樣的想法】所激發,正等著焚燒其追隨者呢。
Muslims and Jews generally take the same arrogant view of their own enterprises and have spent millennia passionately reiterating the errors of other faiths. It should go without saying that 【these】 rival belief systems are all equally uncontaminated by evidence.
伊斯蘭教徒和猶太教徒通常也用同樣傲慢的態度只尊崇自己的信仰,並且幾千年來一直狂熱地重申其他信仰的錯誤。但無庸置疑地,這【兩種】相互對抗的信仰系統也都同樣缺乏證據。

【2017烈酒大賽回顧(布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選)】
〖台灣在世界烈酒舞台,繼續發光發熱!〗
布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選(Spirits Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles),是全球最富盛名的烈酒賽事之一。台灣今年在此大賽中,再次獲得佳績,所獲獎牌數量為參賽前五強。第一名是法國(本土44面,海外屬地53面),其次是中國(47面)、墨西哥(27面)、義大利(25面)與台灣(22面)。
台灣雙金獎1面(金車噶瑪蘭 Kavalan Solist Fino Sherry Single Cask Strength)、金獎11面(得獎者包括金門酒廠、信義鄉農會、台灣菸酒公司、國立高雄餐旅大學)、銀獎10面(得獎者包括金門酒廠、台灣菸酒公司、優米企業、金車噶瑪蘭、國立高雄餐旅大學、霧峰農會酒莊)
〖關於本屆賽事〗
布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選,巡迴世界各地,今年邁入第17屆,在智利拉塞雷納(La Serena)舉辦。
本屆將近一千兩百種參賽酒款,來自54個不同的國家,66位來自22個不同國家的評審團成員,利用8月22日到24日三天的時間,進行評審工作。
評審團每六人一桌,每桌由大會指派一名評審團主席(俗稱桌長),來自台灣的陳千浩與王鵬,都是本屆的評審團成員,並雙雙兼任評審團主席。此外,王鵬也擔任大會《烈酒風味評判準則》(Spirits Sensory Guidelienes)編纂計劃總召集人及主編,這項計畫從兩年前萌芽,一年前正式開始籌備,並於本屆順利推出,成為本屆賽事亮點之一。
根據慣例,各類組最優勝酒款會由十餘位評審團主席,共同選出本屆特別提點酒款。本屆獲此殊榮的品項共有四種:
1. Rhum Blanc Agricole Karukera Canne Bleue by Marquisat de Sainte-Marie Sas, Guadeloupe
2. Château du Tariquet Bas Armagnac Folle Blanche 12 years, France
3. Mezcal Don Aurelio Reposado by Don Aurelio Lamas, Mexico.
4. Ekiss Vodka 2012 by Domaines Francis Abecassis, France.
〖《烈酒風味評判準則》登場〗
我在布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選擔任評審委員,因為相關經驗豐富,擅長品評與風味描述,並通曉多國語言,因此受到該項賽事主辦單位委託,主導烈酒評比標準與風味準則的起草工作。我在這項編纂計畫裡,擔任總召集人與總編輯。這套準則在日前已經如期編纂完成,並將於本年度開始正式使用於國際烈酒大賽。
我在2016年九月,從法國波爾多進修葡萄酒結業,並在上一屆烈酒大賽結束後,就開始著手研擬準則編寫架構,集結國際評審團成員們多年累積的經驗,共同編纂烈酒風味評判標準,作為評審團的評分參考依據。
今年烈酒大賽的評審日程為期三日,在8月22日大會開幕典禮上,將正式發表這部《烈酒風味評判準則》(Spirits Sensory Guidelines),目前這部作品以英文發行。
〖我受邀擔任評審團主席〗
這次大會也邀請我擔任評審團主席,這不是我第一次在酒類競賽裡擔任這項工作,但在烈酒評選裡卻是第一次。評審團主席分為兩個等級,一是評審總長,通常只有一位;二是評審桌長,通常每桌都會指派一位。
我曾經受邀擔任地區級啤酒競賽的評審總長,但由於已經安排前往另一個國際賽事擔任評審,所以很可惜沒有機會接下這項富有挑戰性的任務。評審總長負責規劃賽前評審相關工作配置,確保品評順利,並在賽事進行當下,隨時待命解決突發狀況。
一個賽事的評審團,通常必須拆分成不同桌次,每個桌次可視為一個獨立的評審團。評審桌長,就是這個獨立評審團的主席,通常我們私下都稱為table captain(桌長),但是正式的說法是president of jury(評審團主席)——位階聽起來威風凜凜,但其實就是桌長。身為桌長,任務內容簡單許多,基本上只要確保該桌工作進度沒有落後,文件資料填寫齊全。但是我擔任桌長時,也希望同行專家都能透過討論,從彼此身上學到一些東西,並確保評選結果符合應有水準素質。
在我擔任桌長的經驗裡,同桌的專家們都滿欣賞我的作風,相信我這次也能從同桌的同事們身上,得到同樣的回饋。

My dear fellow judges,
各位評審團的同仁們,
As a judge, we never stop learning. I believe you feel the same way. There are so much to explore in the world of spirits. The diversity of our drinks and cultural richness behind them are fascinating; yet, its complexity can be frustrating sometimes. No one is a perfect judge. However, we try to do our best and fulfill our mission.
我們身為評審,總是在不斷學習,相信大家都有同感。烈酒的世界,是無止盡的探索。烈酒種類的多樣性與豐富的文化背景,非常引人入勝,然而卻也非常複雜,有時甚至讓人感到挫折。沒有人是完美的評審,但是我們依然盡力而為,完成所託。
And we are lucky being in this family of Spirits Selection, because fellow judges always share thoughts and knowledge at the judging table. I was inspired to collect valuable comments, and compile them into Guidelines, so that such information become available for each member in the team, rather than limited within one single jury at a given table.
我們非常幸運,因為「布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選項目」這個大家庭裡,評審桌邊總是不乏有人慷慨、積極分享自己的想法、知識與經驗。而我心想,若是能夠蒐羅這些討論與分享內容,編成《烈酒評判準則》,那麽全體成員都能共享這些珍貴的資源,而不是限於特定桌次而已。
Hopefully, these guidelines will help you in the challenging task as spirits judge, particularly when you are faced with certain categories that you are less familiar with. We recommend you spend some time on the “Users’ Guide.” You can find it in the beginning of your booklet. Appropriate use of these guidelines will be helpful in your judging, and will ensure our mission in promoting great culture of fine spirits.
烈酒評選工作極富挑戰性,我希望手邊的這部《烈酒評判準則》可以幫助你順利完成評審工作,尤其是當被指派到較不熟悉的酒種梯次時。我建議你花些時間閱讀手冊前面的〈使用指引〉。正確使用準則,能夠幫助迅速掌握類型,提升你的評審工作效率,並落實我們推廣優質烈酒文化的宗旨。
Let’s imagine that each bottle or each sample is a person, and it tries to express itself in its own language. To better communicate, we have to learn its language. The diversity of spirits can be compared to diverse languages, and we managed to bridge over that gap, by revealing the secret of “how to speak its own language,” in other words, how to evaluate the spirits from their unique cultural backgrounds. This is what these guidelines are for.
讓我們來想像一下,你所面對的每一杯烈酒樣本,都是一個人,在品評的當下,它試著用自己的語言跟你溝通。若是我們不懂它的語言,那麼就無法充分交流。烈酒的多樣性,可以比擬為不同的語言。這本《烈酒評判準則》就是要幫助你跨越語言的鴻溝。我們想要確保你能「用它的語言和它溝通」,亦即「用每種烈酒獨特的文化、生產背景與自身標準來評判品質」。
In these Guidelines, we aimed at pointing out common features and frequent faults within each category, and these are often useful tips for judges. We believe, your expertise paired with this powerful tool of Guidelines, will enhance your performance as a judge. I hope you enjoy using these Guidelines before or during judging. Discussions are encouraged, since guidelines themselves are a compilation of these useful comments. When you find them, write them down and send them to us. They are much wanted and desired.
這部準則的編纂重點,在於指出類型特徵與常見缺陷,對於評審工作來說,這些會是非常實用的重要提示。我相信,以各位既有的專業能力與經驗,再搭配使用這部準則,將能讓你如虎添翼。你可以在評審工作開始之前,或者評審工作進行的當下,翻閱類型描述相關內容。在評審工作進行時,我們也鼓勵同桌評審之間彼此討論交換意見。這部準則的編纂初衷,原本就是要收集這類分享內容。而當你發現值得分享的重點,也請記錄下來並告訴我們,我們很需要你的回饋意見。
This document is designed to evolve over time, based on your remarks and suggestions. Some pieces are still missing, but I believe they are about to come, thanks to your feedback. Please capture any thought that arises during judging, and let’s share with the whole team in the next edition. Ever-improving guidelines will help reproduce quality judging, which is of utmost importance for the reputation of the renowned Spirits Selection, where we are united as a family and whose reputation is also ours.
《烈酒評判準則》將根據每一屆評審團的回饋意見進行調整。某些烈酒類型在這個版本裡付之闕如,但是我相信在諸位的協助下,這部準則的內容將漸趨完備。請各位在評選工作過程中,將自己的想法記錄下來,我們才有機會將這些珍貴的內容編進下一個版本裡。不斷修訂改進這部準則,能夠幫助維繫每屆賽事評審工作品質穩定,而這是頗負盛名的布魯塞爾世界酒類競賽烈酒評選項目,能夠維持國際聲望的重要因素之一。我們身為這個團體成員,當然榮辱與共。
I feel so proud and happy being part of the project. Although it was me who took initiative in the creation of these guidelines, were it not for the support of competition organizers and help from fellow judges, the project would not have been carried out with success. We would like to thank all those who have devoted their time and expertise to producing this first version. My special thanks go to Mr. Thierry Heins, who supported this project with great knowledge on spirits and particularly on human resources. He knows his people very well, and always have good contacts. Those fellow judges who contributed to the Guidelines, provided insights and advices, are listed in the Acknowledgements. I believe, in the next edition, this list will definitely grow longer because of your participation.
我感到非常高興與驕傲,參與這項編纂計畫。雖然《烈酒評判準則》是由我倡議主導,但若沒有大會支持與評審團同仁們的協助,也不會在本屆成功推出第一個版本。我們要向所有在這次編纂過程中,付出時間與精力的專家與同仁們表達謝意。我尤其要感謝主任經理提耶里・漢斯,他不僅熟悉烈酒專業,也對評審團人力資源瞭若指掌,總是能夠指引我找到適合的諮詢對象。這次第一版準則順利推出,有賴評審團同仁們提供參考資料與專業審定,在主任經理在方才的致詞中,已經逐一誌謝,各位也可以在手冊裡看到誌謝名單。我相信,因為有各位的支持,明年這份誌謝名單會變得更長。
Thanks for your attention and support. Enjoy your tasting. Let’s get prepared for work!
謝謝各位的聆聽與支持,祝各位品評順利,我們準備開工!

我感到非常高興與驕傲,參與這項編纂計畫。雖然《烈酒評判準則》是由我倡議主導,但若沒有大會支持與評審團同仁們的協助,也不會在本屆成功推出第一個版本。我們要向所有在這次編纂過程中,付出時間與精力的專家與同仁們表達謝意。我尤其要感謝主任經理提耶里・漢斯,他不僅熟悉烈酒專業,也對評審團人力資源瞭若指掌,總是能夠指引我找到適合的諮詢對象。這次第一版準則順利推出,有賴評審團同仁們提供參考資料與專業審定,在主任經理在方才的致詞中,已經逐一誌謝,各位也可以在手冊裡看到誌謝名單。我相信,因為有各位的支持,明年這份誌謝名單會變得更長。
Thanks for your attention and support. Enjoy your tasting. Let’s get prepared for work!
謝謝各位的聆聽與支持,祝各位品評順利,我們準備開工!

最近語学の効果的な勉強方法について色々調べています。ある研究の結果、語学を学ぶには、ヒアリングによる言葉のマッピングが大事とか。赤ちゃんの語学の取得方法、大人にも役立つのでは?
I've been researching a lot about effective ways of learning a language. I found one research that explained the importance of listening and hearing the language in order for the brain to map it to certain emotions. This research was based on babies learning how to speak, but thought some of it could apply to adult learners as well.
