There is a general idea that a translation always fails to preserve some of the qualities that distinguish the original work — i.e., that 'something always gets lost in translation.' Writers, critics, and the general reading public unthinkingly accept this clichè. But this belief is unwarranted: translators are sometimes distinguished authors themselves, and some authors may even translate their own works. As the translator pointed out in the preface to an English version of Dante's works, the violin and the piano make different sounds, but they can play what is recognizably the same piece of music. 请问各位对此题的见解如何？ 我只觉得我好像拿到一题从别人的ISSUE里摘录的句段...... 我找得的错误大概只在文中引用the preface of the translator in Dante's work. 而且我也找不出甚麽具体的理由来支持反驳..... --
