史蒂芬·史密斯(Stephen Smith),英國電視颱第四頻道的新聞主持人,常為一些雜誌寫文章。比如:《倫敦書評》、《新政治傢》、《康德•納斯特旅行傢》。
What is visible to the naked eye has been exhaustively raked over; in UNDERGROUND LONDON, acclaimed travel writer Stephen Smith provides an alternative guide and history of the capital. It's a journey through the passages and tunnels of the city, the bunkers and tunnels, crypts and shadows. As well as being a contemporary tour of underground London, it's also an exploration through time: Queen Boudicca lies beneath Platform 10 at King's Cross (legend has it); Dick Turpin fled the Bow Street Runners along secret passages leading from the cellar of the Spaniards pub in North London; the remains of a pre-Christian Mithraic temple have been found near the Bank of England; on the platforms of the now defunct King William Street Underground, posters still warn that 'Careless talk costs lives'. Stephen Smith uncovers the secrets of the city by walking through sewers, tunnels under such places as Hampton Court, ghost tube stations, and long lost rivers such as the Fleet and the Tyburn. This is 'alternative' history at its best.
书挺有趣,翻译还行但有些地方刻意追求音意相照反而让人读的有点不舒服。我英文是很糟糕的,能指出的只是一些常识性错误,现在还没看完,待补充。 1,63页译者注2——这个错得相当劲爆,竟然说“《1984》里的101号房间是主角史密斯的房间”。 2,把“我来,我见,我征服”翻...
評分如果抛开翻译的问题,<Underground London>这本书至少是可以打四星的。译者在译后记中说“英伦风土人物的专名,原则上从俗从众,但很多并无定译,或无人译,不才即随心为之”。因此,将“忏悔者爱德华”译为“忏愆悔罪王爱德华”、“征服者威廉”译作“跨海平西王威廉”,是“...
評分书不错。 不过翻译装B过甚,表面看似文采卓然,实则油腻反胃。译者年轻,师从权威,如果能沉静用工,脱去浮华,当有大成。

評分地上的东西暴露在阳光下,时时炫耀着表象,这些东西断不了氧,所以才能用奢靡、浮华和光鲜示人,等到哪天它们被深埋入地下,我们才更容易剥掉阳光给它们镀的金,接近它们已是过去时的真相:更污秽,更黑暗,也可能更真实。 还在读,已经发现这本书的趣味所在了。路过正...
