Wikipedia 都沒寫思果作品的出版社和出版年,很可惜。
網路介紹他的第一本書: 《私念》1956 書蟲書話:思果的[私念]
1956年亞洲初版,三百三十頁的書,作者編成「八個部分」。作者費神費力,自稱為了給讀者方便。八部是這樣分的:第一部是關於寫作和書籍的文字(又稱文藝批評),第二部就一篇「私念」(介於散文與小說之間),「第六部是寓言式的雜文;第七部是回憶;第八部是遊記」(引號裡照抄自序)。說是給讀者方便,很大原因也是編輯的方便。 一本散文能分成八類,可見其「雜」的程度。「亞洲」編輯部按叢書慣例寫了簡要介紹詞:「雖是些個人的感想與身邊瑣事,但言近指遠,寄託遙深;而筆底下的感情又異常真摯」。此書也是該社第一本散文集,過去多印行小說。思果本身寫散文,又是翻譯家,字斟句酌既是專業也是專長。這本書裡有一套他自創的名詞翻譯,例如莎士比亞,他翻成「謝詩丕」,雪萊翻成「謝烈」,濟慈是「柯以慈」,歌德是「苟德」,但丁是「丹迪」...。如此「自作聰明」「標新立異」(作者語)自有他一番道理,已在自序裡「懇求讀者寬容」。

希望有一天我們有部新 《尚友錄》,重要的人物個個都有像胡適之先生寫的《丁文江傳》那樣的傳記,那就是國家的大幸了。

主要著作[編輯]
評價[編輯]
他最著名的作品是《翻譯研究》(台北大地出版社,一九七二年初版,一九九○年十一版)、《翻譯新究》(台北大地出版社,一九八二年出版)等作品,除了討論中英翻譯,同時談及中文的「西化」問題(即歐化中文),力倡簡潔、通暢的中文。思果在引言寫道:「誰也不能否認,目前的翻譯已經成了另一種文字,雖然勉強可以懂,但絕對不是中文……本書的態度,卻是要翻譯像中文。凡是中國已有的表達意思的方法、字眼、句法,儘量採用,沒有的再想辦法。」

More than once I have been asked what was the greatest surprise that ever came to me. I have little hesitation in answering that question. It was the following letter, which came to me one Sunday morning when I was sitting on the veranda of my home at Tuskegee, surrounded by my wife and three children: --
不只一次有人問我:那一件事是我一生中最大的意想不到的事。 答復這個問題,我絲毫不用躊躇。 這就是下面的這封信。 一個主日早上,我坐在特斯特基家裡的走廊上,我的妻子和三個孩子圍在我面前,信來了……
Harvard University, Cambridge, May 28, 1896.
President Booker T. Washington,
My Dear Sir: Harvard University desired to confer on you at the approaching Commencement an honorary degree; but it is our custom to confer degrees only on gentlemen who are present. Our Commencement occurs this year on June 24, and your presence would be desirable from about noon till about five o'clock in the afternoon. Would it be possible for you to be in Cambridge on that day?
Believe me, with great regard,
Very truly yours,
Charles W. Eliot.
This was a recognition that had never in the slightest manner entered into my mind, and it was hard for me to realize that I was to be honoured by a degree from the oldest and most renowned university in America. As I sat upon my veranda, with this letter in my hand, tears came into my eyes. My whole former life -- my life as a slave on the plantation, my work in the coal-mine, the times when I was without food and clothing, when I made my bed under a sidewalk, my struggles for an education, the trying days I had had at Tuskegee, days when I did not know where to turn for a dollar to continue the work there, the ostracism and sometimes oppression of my race, -- all this passed before me and nearly overcame me.
這是我心裡從來沒有絲毫想到的對我的抬舉,這樣一座美國歷史最悠久,最著名的大學,把容譽學位送給我,是我難以想像的事情。 我坐在走廊上,手上拿著這封信,眼淚充滿了我的眼眶。 我以前的種種生活經歷--我在大農場裡做奴隸,在煤礦裡做工人,那一段無衣無食的時,睡在木板鋪的行人道下面,為受教育的掙扎,特斯特基的艱苦的日子,有時為了繼續辦我的事業,我連一塊錢都不知那裡去找,我的同胞對我的排斥和壓制--這一切都重上心頭,使我難以支持。
I had never sought or cared for what the world calls fame. I have always looked upon fame as something to be used in accomplishing good. I have often said to my friends that if I can use whatever prominence may have come to me as an instrument with which to do good, I am content to have it. I care for it only as a means to be used for doing good, just as wealth may be used. The more I come into contact with wealthy people, the more I believe that they are growing in the direction of looking upon their money simply as an instrument which God has placed in their hand for doing good with. I never go to the office of Mr. John D. Rockefeller, who more than once has been generous to Tuskegee, without being reminded of this. The close, careful, and minute investigation that he always makes in order to be sure that every dollar that he gives will do the most good -- an investigation that is just as searching as if he were investing money in a business enterprise -- convinces me that the growth in this direction is most encouraging.
我從來沒有去追求世人稱為名譽的那件東西,也從來不計較它。 我總認為名譽是可以用來促成有益的事情的工具。 我常常對我的朋友說,如果我能用我得著的名聲做媒介,去做有意義的事,我也願意獲得它。 我只當它是做一件有益的事情的工具,就如同財富可以拿來利用一般。 我和富人接觸得越多,愈覺得他們愈來愈把錢當作是上蒼交在他們手上的工具,讓他們做善事的。 約翰‧洛克斐勒先生幫特斯特基好幾次大忙,我每次去他的辦公室,他總提醒我這一點。 他總是對我們的事業嚴加考察,極細微的事也都注意,要使得他捐的每一塊錢都派上正用--他那種考察的認真,就像是他要投資一筆生意一樣--使我相信,這種傾向是最鼓舞人心的。

Among the speakers after dinner were President Eliot, Governor Roger Wolcott, General Miles, Dr. Minot J. Savage, the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, and myself. When I was called upon, I said, among other things: --
It would in some measure relieve my embarrassment if I could, even in a slight degree, feel myself worthy of the great honour which you do me to-day. Why you have called me from the Black Belt of the South, from among my humble people, to share in the honours of this occasion, is not for me to explain; and yet it may not be inappropriate for me to suggest that it seems to me that one of the most vital questions that touch our American life is how to bring the strong, wealthy, and learned into helpful touch with the poorest, most ignorant, and humblest, and at the same time make one appreciate the vitalizing, strengthening influence of the other. How shall we make the mansion on yon Beacon Street feel and see the need of the spirits in the lowliest cabin in Alabama cotton-fields or Louisiana sugar-bottoms? This problem Harvard University is solving, not by bringing itself down, but by bringing the masses up.
……. 在我看來,和我們美國生活最有關係的問題之一,就是怎樣使賢能,富足,有學問的人幫助最貧窮,最無知,最平凡的人,而同時又使出力的人體念到那些需要幫助的人自有他們給人活力,激勵別人的力量。…….這個問題哈佛大學正在解決著,不是降格遷就,而是把群眾抬舉起來。
