《追忆似水年华》读后感

1、追忆似水年华读后感徐和瑾老先生翻译的前四卷，总算看完了。后面还有三卷只能看另一独家译林出版社的集体翻译的版本。我感觉第五卷女囚好像比前几卷要容易读，但语感好像跟徐和瑾先生的翻译格调脱了节一样，是不是表面的理解容易了，却没有了普鲁斯特那种特有的冗长烦杂的意识流的晦涩难懂?本来难以理解的一定是非对象性的，非对象性的一定是最难以把握的，越想澄明它，它越是躲进晦暗中，这是我读追忆最有价值的感悟。不懂法文，还是读不了原著，只好买了一套Andreas Mayor和Terece Kilmartin合作的英文译著In search of lost time。以前看原著，即使几本英语文学名著，大都在中译本的对照

2、下，心血来潮看几页原文，但毕竟英文不是母语，看起来总是觉得费力见效慢。现在心态变了，读书没了功利，反而感觉轻松坦然，哪怕读一页，再费神也不觉得了，更重要的是，英语应该比汉语更能理解阐明普鲁斯特的语境了。试比较一下译林出版社的第五卷女囚P71第三段“我就是这么回答她的我们身边的亲人了。”这一整段的文字，其英译如下：Such was my answer; amid the sensual expressions，others will be recognised that were peculiar to my grand-mother and my mother. For, little by

5、 any beloved-who had transmigrated into me, a person despotic to the point of sliencing at times my jealous suspicions or at least of preventing me from going to verify whether they had any foundation, and that person was my aunt Leonie-my aunt Leonie, who was entirely steeped in piety and with whom
