※ 引述《KRZYSZ (VICTORIA)》之铭言：
: 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.....
只有想到两点（话说我明明在准备托福...XD）：
1.作者本身是翻译者，翻译能力未必出色。
就算翻译能力极佳，也不见得能将作品完美地转换至另一种语言中，
有些像双关语、俗谚等牵涉不同的文化背景与语言结构，
永远无法百分之百地用另一种语言表达出来。
2.Dante's works的例子正好抵触作者的说法，
violin跟piano如同两种不同的语言，即使演奏同一段音乐，
因其音色不同，表现出来的特徵不同，情感也会有所差异，
进一步证明在翻译的过程中，原文可表现的作品旨趣确实被弱化了。
请指教:)
