第3章 Note on the Text

书签收藏评论目录封面

I AM VERY CONSCIOUS that the narrative in this book repeatedly switches from one perspective to another: from British to German, and from French to Italian and then to American and even Dutch and Norwegian. In an effort to help distinguish who is who, I have written ranks in the language of the respective nationality. Thus it is Captain Field, but Capitaine Barlone, and Major-General Kennedy, but Generalmajor Rommel. The aim is not to be pretentious but rather just to help with the flow of the narrative.

I have applied this rule somewhat inconsistently to military units too. As a rough rule of thumb, any unit of corps or above in size has been written in the vernacular, but there are also a few other examples, especially German, where I have used the original words. Luftwaffe squadrons are Staffeln because actually, a German Staffel was not quite the same as a British squadron. German paratroopers and mountain troops are written as Fallschirmj?ger and Gebirgsj?ger. This will certainly help lessen any confusion by the time I reach Volume III and D-Day, for example, where there were German, American, Polish, Canadian and French airborne troops all operating, and in the case of Americans, Poles and Germans, often with similar sounding surnames.

I should also explain how some military units were written. A corps is numbered in Roman numerals and a military operation in upper case. Luftwaffe gruppen were written in Roman numerals, but staffeln in Arabic numbering. There were three staffeln per gruppe, so 5/JG2, for example, would be in II/JG2, but 7/JG2 would be in III/JG2.

Monkey
英文图书 Wu Ch'êng-ên
Probably the most popular book in the history of the Far East, this classic sixteenth century novel is a combination of picaresque novel and folk epic that mixes satire, allegory, and history into a rollicking adventure. It is the story of the roguish Monkey and his encounters with major and minor spirits, gods, demigods, demons, ogres, monsters, and fairies. This translation, by the distinguished scholar Arthur Waley, is the first accurate English version; it makes available to the Western reader a faithful reproduction of the spirit and meaning of the original.

Wintering Out
英文图书 Faber & Faber
'Seamus Heaney has gone beyond the themes of his earlier poetry and has made the giant step towards the most ambitious, most intractable themes of maturity. The power of this book comes from a sense that he is reaching out towards a type of desolation and of isolation without which no imagination can be seen to have grown up.' Eavan Boland, Irish Times 'Keyed and pitched unlike any other significant poet at work in the language anywhere.' Harold Bloom, Times Literary Supplement

失落的帝国（人猿泰山系列）
童书 (美)埃德加·伯勒斯
人猿泰山系列是一部让中小学生开阔眼界、丰富想象力的书，是一部教给孩子动物是朋友、大自然是家园的温情冒险小说，是一部中小学图书馆和孩子的书架上不得不放的书，是父母与孩子共同阅读的睡前故事。小说情节奇谲精彩，主人公强悍而无畏，为孩子们打开了一扇充满着浪漫英雄主义的丛林世界大门。译者的话：上世纪四十年代，我们在读初中时，《人猿泰山》作为世界名著，曾经风靡一时。每逢课间十分钟，同学们几乎满教室争说泰山。当时，这部奇趣曼妙的小说，已经在我们心里扎根了。1988年，我俩六十岁退休后，曾到各地旅游，顺便到各省大图书馆、大学图书馆查询此书，不但译本遍寻不得，连原文本也没有了。
