hc翻譯評論

由這些訪談說法 Read Excerpt 1 (PDF) ( Quotes: Where do You Get Your Ideas?)我們可以了解翻譯水平不及格
譬如說底下都翻譯錯誤:

I try to find ideas from something seemingly unrelated and extrapolate its essence to arrive at new and fresh ideas. That’s a good way to avoid sophomoric statements. 翻譯成狀態

Inspiration can sneak in from the oddest (翻譯成最古老)places you’ll missed if your mind isn’t open and ready to take it. 整句會錯意

"cover to cover"等沒翻譯

章名的翻譯和處理問題多
