请问Marina Gorbis所著的The Nature of the Future: Dispatches from the Socialstructed World一书,如果译成中文,《未来的性质:来自社会构造世界的信息》,可以吗?
感觉Dispatches的具体措辞不好定夺。

dispatches 属于常用的比喻 Dec 17, 2013

dispatch的本意是现场记者发回总部的现场报道,在英文书名中经常被挪用来暗示作家对书的内容非常熟悉,正如作家在场目击未来一样!这可能是专属英文的比喻,如果中文没有类似的说法的话,那不要硬性塞进去。
你可以考虑:『未来的真相:未来社会构造世界的报道』、『未来世界:社会构造世界发展报告』等。

问题是,dispatch与“预见”不搭界吧。

I just offer my advise Dec 17, 2013

Translation can be a process with a litttle bit creativity, especially when it comes to the translation for titles of literary works. Yes,I know what you are doubting, but to catch the attention of readers, we have to make some adjustment, as long as it's still on the path.

Dispatches Dec 17, 2013

这种标题 在英文里是常见的, 比如说 "Tales from the Crypt".

图省事的话,当然可以说实质上是怎样怎样, 因此越简单明了越好。 既然谈未来,那么就是"预见"。 这种翻译和 将 "Zero Dark Thirty" 翻成 "猎杀本·拉登" 是类似的,我本人觉得直接倒是直接, 但一点文彩都没有。

具体到这个标题,原文中 dispatch 的意思 就是设身处地将自己置于未来,向现今的大众作报道。中文可用来表达 Dispatches 的词汇并不少。我认为 Phil 建议的 报道、报告 都很好, 另外可以考虑的还有 通讯、汇报(noun)、快报、消息、专讯、新闻快讯 等等。

谢谢Steven!
我最后处理成了:《未来的真相:发自社会构造世界的报道》。

PS:我喜欢在翻译时尽量紧扣原词的意思,而不是随意演绎,哪怕有时后者看起来似乎比前者更具可读性。
估计此话一说,又会有人跳出来表示反对了。呵呵
说到底,每人的译风不一样。

参考 Dec 19, 2013



看了一下J.H. 提供的参考,觉得此书毕竟代表作者对未来的推想预言; 所以觉得把书名The Nature of the Future 译为'未来的真相" 不够贴切。Nature 在这里含有feature, description, or characteristic 的意思。

另外,socialstructing 与social structure 概念不同. Socialstructing 是社群利用现代技术联络互动的过程(“We are moving away from the dominance of the depersonalized world of institutional production and creating a new economy around social connections and social rewards—a process I call socialstructing …“-Marina Gorbis ). 如果把'The Socialstructed World‘译为 “社会构造世界”好像没有体现这种过程性。

参考译文:
未来的特征:发自社会化(群体化)世界的特写

虽然QHE说的没错,但我觉得问题不大,因为这个英文完全是看不懂的,原文的读者没有看定义之前无法发掘到作者是什么意思。

顺便说一下,如果真的是像Gorbis说的“a new economy around social connections”以后你所有的人际交往都得有经济含义?那不就是安利世界吗?直接跳楼算了。

我们是在以译者的角度看问题。Gorbis 没有沿用social structure (社会构造), 而是创造出 socialstructing 一词以区别之,作为译者当然要尽力体现原作者的本意,而且书名的重要性是不言而喻的。

When reasoning, you seem to spontaneously apply the "vice versa principle" to Gorbis' statement.

IMO, the scope and implication of social connections Gorbis aforementioned are far beyond"人际交往"; as she states:

“The future lies in micro contributions by large networks of people creating value on a scale previously unthinkable, bringing sociability and social connectivity back into our economic transactions.”

Actually, we might be able to perceive this emerging "socialstructed economy" through the Proz community, and provide even more dispatches.

请教QHE:如果让您来翻译socialstructing这个新词,您会怎么翻译?
我交上去的稿件将这个词译成了“社会构造”。
顺便说一下:social structure 应该是社会结构,而不是社会构造。
