An Interesting Pew Research Center Survey Jul 18, 2013

http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/18/news/economy/china-us-superpower/index.html?hpt=hp_t3

China seen surpassing U.S. in superpower shift
By Charles Riley



Will China supplant the United States as the world's leading superpower and top player in the world economy?

A new Pew Research Center survey of 38,000 people in 39 countries found the widespread belief that China is well on its way.

Overall, a majority or plurality of respondents in only six of the countries surveyed believe the U.S. will remain on top.

"Publics around the world believe the global balance of power is shifting," Pew wrote. "China's economic power is on the rise, and many think it will eventually supplant the United States as the world's dominant superpower."

In both the United States and China, an increasing number of respondents agree with this thesis.

Two out of three Chinese now predict their country will overtake the U.S., an eight percentage point increase since 2008. The number of Americans who agree has jumped 11 percentage points to 47%.

Not everything one reads always makes sense Jul 21, 2013

I was reading a news article on CNN, and was wondering what John McCain meant by "surrender to judgment" ...



http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/21/mccain-rolling-stone-cover-was-stupid/?hpt=hp_t2

“But for me to tell them to pull their magazine from the bookshelves, at newsstands, it's not up to me to do that. I think most Americans surrender to judgment on that,” he told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley.

“Rolling Stone probably got more publicity than they've had in 20 years,” he added.



So I clicked on the link to the video clip to listen for myself ...


http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2013/07/21/exp-sotu-crowley-mccain-on-rolling-stone-cover-of-boston-bomber.cnn.html

Turns out he said: "... I think most Americans rendered a judgment on that".

“洪蘭事件” 王偉雄 2013-07-17 Jul 22, 2013

“The highly diverse operations of System 2 have one feature in common: they require attention and are disrupted when attention is drawn away.” (p.22)

洪蘭的翻譯:

「系統二有很多不同的運作,但是它和系統一有個相同的特質:兩者都需要注意力,當注意力轉移時,它們的運作都會受到干擾。」(p.41)

“The highly diverse operations of System 2 have one feature in common: they require attention and are disrupted when attention is drawn away.” (p.22)

洪蘭的翻譯:

「系統二有很多不同的運作,但是它和系統一有個相同的特質:兩者都需要注意力,當注意力轉移時,它們的運作都會受到干擾。」(p.41)

Kahneman 說的是系統二裏的不同操作有一個共通點,但洪蘭卻譯成那是系統二和系統一的共通點!這個錯譯在上下文是完全不通的(上下文主要是對比系統一和系統二)。假如我是出版社的負責編輯,無論上述那位讀者的 70% 怎樣計算出來,這樣的錯譯我是 100% 不接受的 — 絕不收貨!

(後記:《自由時報》記者問我可不可以多舉些錯譯的例子,我在《快思慢想》第一章隨便翻看便找到了五個極其離譜的錯譯:

原文: “Intense focusing on a task can make people effectively blind” (p.23)
洪譯:「完全聚焦在一件事上,會使這個人暫時性的失明」(p.43)
按:集中注意力在工作上又怎會令人暫時失明?難道洪蘭連這樣的常識也沒有?就算單看 “effectively blind” 不知道該怎譯,只要看看上下文就會猜到那是「視而不見」的意思。

原文: “Not all illusions are visual. There are illusions of thought, which we call cognitive illusions.” (p.27)
洪譯:「並不是所有錯覺都是看得見的。我們所謂的認知錯覺(cognitive illusions)是一種思想上的錯覺,是看不見的。」(p.48)
按:很明顯 “visual” 這裏應譯作「視覺的」;句末的「是看不見的」是無中生有。

原文: “You have been invited to think of the two systems as agents within the mind” (p.28)
洪譯:「請你把這兩個系統想成心中的兩個代理人」(p.49)
按: “agents” 在這裏不好譯,因為中文沒有對應詞,一般譯作「行事者」或「能動者」;無論如何,譯作「代理人」是可笑的錯誤。

原文: “I will often use sentences in which the systems are the subjects” (p.28)
洪譯:「我常用擬人化的句子 […] 來描述它們」(p.49)
按: “subjects” 指的是句子的主語,怎麼扯到擬人化了?

原文: “If endorsed by System2, impressions and intuitions turn into beliefs, and impulses turn into voluntary actions.” (p.24)
洪譯:「而且常常很衝動要變成自主性的行動」(p.44)
按:無言。)

专家大多数不是好翻译 Nov 23, 2013

他们或许可以看得懂英文原版书籍,并了解作者的基本思想。
但在一些语言文字细节上、还有专业词汇上,肯定是比不上专业翻译的。

即使别人译得再劣,也应就事论事,而不该指名辱骂别人“不要脸”。这位王伟雄先生,作为一个大学教授,还是应该在大庭广众之下,珍惜一下自己的脸面。

事实上,名副其实的专家大有人在。比如说,在哲学界,很多专家都是翻译家。比如,邓晓芒、李秋零、贺麟、杨祖陶等,非常多。
