美國總統公開中國國家主席習近平私人信件的英文譯本,施政透明化,比起林鄭堅持要與來訪的美國參議員告魯斯秘密會談而遭拒絕,香港女特首顯然不明白國際文化潮流。
此信函英譯,在英文用法與文法方面,有中西文化分歧之處。大家都討厭政治,不妨就這封難得的公開信,討論一下英語問題。
首先,1,Mr President, good afternoon. 是一個奇怪的開頭。若是尺牘形式,應該是Dear Mr
President起首。至於Good afternoon(下午好),雖然是中國人之間的口語問候,在英文書信中有一見發財之文化驚喜。因為雖然川普召見劉鶴,雖然為美國東岸下午二時,但不可以假設川普收信時馬上拆開閱讀。川普可能將信留在見劉鶴之後回家在臥室中與老婆共閱,稱Good afternoon ,並無時間十足正確把握。
況且天朝向洋夷發函,應以中南海勤政殿時間為中心,即使假設川普見劉副總時即刻拆開,北京時間為凌晨二時,開頭若稱Good night ,更現大國氣勢。
2, the photos you sent of us attending the G20 Osaka meeting together in June - 既然已提G20 和’us attending ‘ ,together 一字即屬多餘。更地道,可以說:Thank you for sharing the photos of the previous G20 Osaka Summit where we met. It was an interesting gathering.
3,Of our two sides, 「雙方」,略嫌Chinglish,是中國外交部多年慣用之直譯。應作 of our two countries 或of our two states。
4, in the other areas, 應作in other areas。此處不應有冠詞the。
5, serves the interest, interest 應作眾數。Act in the principle, principle 應作眾數,因為單中國一方,立國與外交「原則」,已經遠遠不止一項:台灣是中國一部份、不得干預香港內政、西藏是中國的一部份、新疆維吾爾自治區教育區不容美國指指點點、平等互惠、反對保護主義、尊重文化國情等等。
信函只得一頁,離奇未見下款。或有另一頁涉及個人機密,美方扣下未公布。但若是兩人之間真正好友私人信件,在英語世界,譬如邱吉爾寫信給羅斯福,結句時或會有一點人性表現的幽默,例如:
Finally, I miss the delicious chocolate cake at your villa when you mentioned you had just bombed Afghanistan after I had the first bite.
By the way, Carrie Lam, my girl in Hong Kong, has just complained to me about the not-so-gentlemanly treatment she has received from your friend Ted Cruz who is on a visit there. I have just instructed her to relax.
(最後,我懷念上次在你的別墅進餐之際,你告訴我剛轟炸了阿富汗時,我正在進食的那塊美味的巧克力蛋糕。
此外,我在香港的女孩子林鄭月娥剛向我投訴,她遭到你的朋友告魯斯訪問香港時稍欠紳士風度的待遇。我剛指示她,放鬆。)
若有一日,中國的元首致美國總統的信有如此段落,則中國進入現代文明早已成功,香港對於主權移交中國將會無所抗拒,而且世界和平。

這種逗號不如餵給熊貓吃掉吧!
范范真是「好範兒」,另一個事業巔峰就是為台灣大眾示範了好何謂言多必失。她日前顯然本想藉著撂英文顯示高尚以博得同情,哪知不自量力的低級英文一po出,成為負面示範,刺激全民探討英文、重拾學英文的樂趣。截圖是 Dub & Ko Language Services(來源:臉書)提供批改范瑋琪英文的範例,造成大轟動,雖然轟動的背後難免有政治立場煽風點火,但就學習語言來說,仍也是極佳的學習範例。祝這個抓緊時事脈動的英文改寫和翻譯服務事業蒸蒸日上。不過,有一個英文寫作規則必須指出。最後一句的改寫:
She who talks much, errs much.
這在今天已經不是好的英文,絕對會被英文編輯和老師視為錯誤。去掉逗點就好了。句子主詞與述詞之間的逗點,歷史上曾經出現,那是至少200年前的寫法,今日不宜,除非你是在直接引述古人的英語,否則請注意不得加逗號,無論主詞多麼長。
以下直接引述兩本權威用法指南供參:
一、Webster's Dictionary of English Usage (1989) 262頁
Comma between subject and predicate.
It is no longer cricket 〔按:n. 正人君子之舉;合度的行為〕 to separate the subject and predicate with punctuation. “How,” asks Simon 1980 rhetorically, “can one possibly separate the subject... from the predicate ... by a comma?” The comma between subject and predicate is an old convention that has fallen into disuse and disfavor. It was common in the 18th century:
What Methods they will take, is not for me to prescribe —Jonathan Swift, “A Proposal for Correcting, Improving and Ascertaining the English Tongue,” 1712
The words for all that, seem too low —Murray 1795
The first thing to be studied here, is grammatical propriety —Murray 1795
This comma is now universally frowned on and tends to be found only as a vice of comic-strip writers, advertisers, and others who are not on their guard. You should avoid the practice.
二、The Sense of Styles, Steven Pinker (有中譯本《寫作風格的意識》)
Still, a few common errors are so uncontroversial—the run-on sentence, the comma splice, the grocer's apostrophe, the comma between subject and predicate, the possessive it's—that they have become tantamount to the confession “I am illiterate,” and no writer should be caught making them. As I mentioned, the problem with these errors is not that they betray an absence of logical thinking but that they betray a history of inattention to the printed page. In the hope that an ability to distinguish the logical and illogical features of punctuation may help a reader master both, I'll say a few words about the design of the system, highlighting the major bugs that have been locked into it.
可是,有幾個常見錯誤不那麼具爭議性,像連寫句(兩個主句間沒有連接詞或誤用標點)、用逗號連接兩個完整句子、複數名詞誤加撇號、主詞和述語之間誤加逗號,以及屬格誤加撇號(例如it’s〔它的〕),假如連這些都用錯了,恐怕就稱不上是個讀書識字的人,任何作者不容許在這裡犯錯。像我曾說的,犯上這種錯誤,問題不在於欠缺邏輯思考,而是對書面文字的歷史漠不關心。我期望能把標點的邏輯與非邏輯元素分開,讓讀者兩者都能掌握;我會談一下標點系統的設計,指出隱藏在系統中的一些缺失。 (江先聲譯)
