译者的话
让我们快乐同行

如果有人发现一颗夺目的夜明珠的话,他没有权利放进自己的口袋,独享光辉,而必须公诸于世,使每个人都能分享这份光辉。基于这个理由,作者为了向全世界介绍鼓浪屿不遗余力摇笔撼书;也是基于这个理由,我们很高兴有机会将《Discover Gulangyu》一书译成中文,因为如此一来,有更多人也能得到这颗融合中西文化的珍珠发散出来的光芒。
这正验证了中国的古话“独乐乐,众乐乐,孰乐?”。
翻译《Discover Gulangyu》,并非易事。如果照句直译,恐怕会显得生涩难懂、准确度不高;还有一种情况是,引文多出自一个世纪前居住在鼓浪屿的国际居民,因为笔调的关系使译文学术意味太浓,不符合潘威廉的本人风格。作者幽默诙谐、妙趣横生的文风在其《魅力厦门》等书中多有体会。然而,与过往大不相同,作者在此书中突破了以往轻松写实的风格,沉入了更多严谨学者型思考,所以,不得不增加了后期翻译的难度,使得过程充满了艰辛的引经据典和考证工作。
Back to top
在译文中,我们尽量以不同的方式求得折中。希望能既不失却潘先生原来简明的展示风格,又能无损他见解的精辟入微。假如由于我们的转译,间接减损了鼓浪屿的原有光芒,我们在此表示深深的歉意。而之所以不自量力地试译,只是因为实在不忍这份回味的快乐,只属于少数人,却不能遍撒人间。

任何人的翻译,永远没有所谓最好或最后的翻译,有的只是风格不同,原书真正的含义能被译出而且与读者分享,才是最重要的。

言有未尽之处,则是由衷地激赏三年来为双语成长投入周身心血的每位团员,及兼职翻译。是她们不厌其烦的“众里寻他千百度”,才得以在浩瀚史海中捕捉与原文对应的点滴。因为所有成熟和精致的产品,必定包含每一分子日臻完美的努力,有一点点瑕疵都会一览无疑。而更难得的是,一路走来我们汗流浃背亦能欢歌笑语!正如今年7月第三届双语征文英文组一等奖获得者对我们的评语:选择与Common Talk同行,就是选择与这个日新月异精彩不断的时代同行,与一种总是向上的充满希望的时代同行!就是选择与这群优秀的人同行,与青春与快乐同行!

我知道,这本书出来,既是跟勤奋刻苦的天才——本书作者同行,也是选择与更多读者同行,且让我们快快乐乐地同行下去,不辜负这座海上花园的良辰美景。
主编 吴亚宇

厦门鼓浪屿游客中心简介
鼓浪屿游客中心,是鼓浪屿风景名胜区管理部门设立的国有多功能服务性机构,负责为游客提供景区咨询、景区票务、景区讲解、旅游投诉、行李寄存等相关服务。鼓浪屿没有公共交通,城在景中,景在城中,道路纵横交错,游客容易迷路。鼓浪屿游客中心在上岛100米处“三友假日旅游城”一楼设有功能齐全的旅游集散大厅,通过鼓浪屿模型、旅游线路指南、景点简介、人工咨询、电子视听、电子导游、电子屏幕等媒介,全方位向游客介绍鼓浪屿,让游客在上岛伊始,就能够充分了解鼓浪屿的概貌。

鼓浪屿游客中心提供的服务大多数是免费的,其中最主要的有两项:一是向游客免费提供景区导游讲解服务,每30分钟从集散大厅发一个团;二是游客可以免费参与堪称世界唯一的博饼活动,体验厦门独特的民俗乐趣。
