中譯：

羅蘭‧巴特 ，屠友祥譯{神話修辭術 ‧碧雄在黑人世界}  (上海人民出版社)，2009，簡稱屠版；
許薔薇、許綺玲譯{神話學}  (台北：桂冠出版社)，1998，簡稱許版。


許版、屠版，似乎都從法文1957版翻譯。Mythologies 的選譯根據相同版本。
不過奇怪的是，一篇關於某謀殺案的評論，Mythologies 版題目是"Dominici*,  or Triumph of Literature"， pp.43-46。許版題目為"呂培賀耶 (Gerald Dupriez )的訴訟案"103-105，屠版為"迪普里耶的審判"，113-115。

 *Gaston Dominichi....
英文版Mythologies 與許版、屠版的內容，約九成不同，怪得很。


註解討論：1957年原版序：les choses répétées plaisent
英文版："things which are repeated are pleasing"，註解出自Horace 的{詩譯}。
許版：無注；翻譯為"熟能生巧，巧則心喜。"
屠版： 無注；"重複使人歡喜。"


譯注之選擇


屠友祥譯的羅蘭‧巴特 {神話修辭術 ‧碧雄在黑人世界}  (上海人民出版社)，譯注之選擇有點失衡。

末句中"西方的使用凝固汽油方式"，譯注為"暗指朝鮮戰爭中聯合國部隊空軍使用高溫 (900-1300度)燃燒彈攻擊對方。"

可是在先前的"美女征服了野獸，丹尼爾 (Daniel)任由獅子以鼻、口碰擦....."，卻沒譯注。

The story of Daniel in the lions' den (chapter 6 in the Book of Daniel ) 是很平常的聖經故事。
"獅子坑的但 以 理"，可參考 《但 以 理》
