居住在美国的华裔作家哈金,前几年著有《战争垃圾》(War Trash)一书,原文以英文结撰,这是翻译过来的书名,就内容并书名而言,这可说是牵强生涩的译笔,还有翻为《战弃物》的,也较生硬。早有中文确切的词汇却弃置不用。其实佳善而现成的翻译应是《炮灰》。 Hakin, a Chinese-American writer living in the United States, wrote a few years ago “War Trash,” the original book written in English, which is translated as the title of the book, in terms of content and title, this can be said Is forced jerky translation pen, as well as turned into “war discard”, but also blunt. The exact Chinese words are long ago abandoned. In fact, good and ready-made translation should be “cannon fodder.”
