Tried but failed again Aug 22, 2013

Tried by enclosing the ASCII figure with opening and closing〈PRE〉 tags like the FlipMyText.com page instructed, but still didn't work.

其实,我很期待权威的人出现,最近我跟朋友聊翻译问题时他跟我说,为什么每一句话都要花那么长时间?我觉得其中一个很重要的因素是,没有中英翻译的权威课本或者权威理论。我想,假如有一套的标准处理方法,大家可以学学,然后你不一定要服从,但是因为有标准在,每个译者在摸索自己的翻译路子中有地标可用。
就很简单的例子:虽然...但是。我就希望谁能写一本书说『虽然...但是一律翻译成__...but。』后面的人可以不同意,可以偏向用although或者偏向把两句的顺序翻掉等其它处理方式,就是要有个正统才可以改革。


Phil,

IMO, you'll have a long wait. Who wants to stick their neck out just to be ridiculed by people who always think they are better and never hesitate to criticize?

But I agree with you about the usefulness of such a reference. Like you said, it doesn't have to be perfect. It could be a pioneering piece of work that puts a stake in the ground.

Hopefully such an ambitious person and brave soul would someday come along.
