Lolita英文版(点击浏览该文件)
my notes (Part One): 1 2
搞了一本the annotated lolita来看……注释足有正文四分之一厚。
Hourglass Lake的新闻台似乎搬去blog，但娄丽塔不见了。不知道哪里能买到漓江黄建人版。或者伊的台版？
－－－－－－－
第3-5节
honey-colored skin
于（下同）：蜂蜜一样柔腻的肌肤
★ 腻。
a little ghost in natural colors (and this is how I see Lolita).
一个浑身披着自然光泽的小精灵(就是我所见洛丽塔的样子)
★ 精灵 is too cute to be Lolita (or just nice, or "cute," or even "sweet" and "attractive," ordinary, plumpish, formless, cold-skinned, essentially human little girls)
(born Vanessa van Ness)
缺。
★ vanessa, van ness, word play?
Our brains were turned the way those of intelligent European preadolescents were in our day and set, and I doubt if much individual genius should be assigned to our interest in the plurality of inhabited worlds, competitive tennis, infinity, solipsism and so on.
我们调整思想的音调适应今天那些聪明的欧州儿童，并且稳定住，我还怀疑是否应该分配一些个人天才到如下的兴趣上：我们对芸芸众生的世界的兴趣、对富有竞争性的网球的兴趣、对无限大的空间的兴趣、对唯我论的兴趣，等等。
★ this is just.... pathetically wrong....
but there we were, unable even to mate as slum children would have so easily found an opportunity to do.
但我们，甚至不能象贫民区的孩子那样很容易就找到作伴的机会。
★ 李梅亭~
not even the cold blue water, under which we still clawed at each other, could bring relief.
即使在冰凉的湖水中，我们仍然互相紧拉着手，不能解脱。
★ 蓝色的海水。claw at: scratch or tear at with the claws or fingernails. 抓得到不如抓不到。
the staid, elderly, lame gentleman, a Dr. Cooper, who that same summer courted my aunt
老成持重的跛脚绅士，库柏医生……在同年夏天向我姨妈求过婚
★ 老成持重不错。court是追女仔（可能当年追就意味着求婚也不一定）
amid the sunny blur into which her lost loveliness graded
阳光模糊了她那份沉迷的可爱
★ lost... all lost
the old man of the sea
大海的老父
★ the Hemingway book was published in 1952, no?
the maddeningly complex prospect of my past
在我对过去发狂的复杂期望中
★ prospect of my past...
The same June of the same year (1919) a stray canary had fluttered into her house and mine, in two widely separated countries. Oh, Lolita, had you loved me thus!
同年(1919)，都在六月，一只迷途的金丝雀飞进了她的房间，也飞进了我的，在遥遥相隔的两个国家里。噢，洛丽塔，你是如此地爱我！
★ stray canary.... make it a butterfly. 
I have reserved for the conclusion of my "Annabel" phase the account of our unsuccessful first tryst.
关于我的“阿娜贝尔”时期结束，我隐匿了对我们第一次不成功尝试的记述。
★ 留作收尾
a nervous and slender-leaved mimosa grove
一片神经质的、叶片柔舒的含羞草丛中
★ 我种的那盆含羞草前几天被热死了。“神经质”，duh. here "mimosa" is of course chosen carefully, fittingly, by the author.
whenever in her solitary ecstasy
★ oh please. solitary indeeed.
the scepter of my passion
★ it's kind of corny... i suppose pr0n is difficult writing even for Nabokov
a sweetish, lowly, musky perfume
一种甘甜又清淡的麝香香味
★ lowly means of low quality here, i think. it's supposed to be filched from the maid
In my sanitary relations with women I was practical,ironical and brisk. While a college student, in London and Paris, paid ladies sufficed me.
就我和女人正常的关系而言，我是实际的、幽默的、轻快的。作为一个大学生，在伦敦和巴黎，雇佣女子对我足够了。
★ 于晓丹似乎总是把纳博科夫老师想像得很纯真。
At first, I planned to take a degree in psychiatry and many manquè talents do; but I was even more manquè than that
最初，我计划象好多落魄才子那样，拿个精神病学的学位；但我比这还落魄
★
I sat with uranists in the Deux Magots....I composed pastiches
我和铀矿学家—起坐在“第二人像”里。我还创作模仿他人风格的打油诗
★ uranian means queer. i remember N used "invert" somewhere else. pastiches, 集句，which is also of highly Nabokovian style
where pale pubescent girls with matted eyelashes could be stared at in perfect impunity remindful of that granted one in dreams.
那里，快进入青春发育期的女孩子，面色苍白、睫毛乌暗，被人端祥却不受伤害，令我想起了那个梦赐的女孩。
★ Duh.
nymphets
性感少女
★ 性感少女....it's okay i suppose... but just... boring. 小妖女？a tad too self conscious tho
look at the ugly dumplings in black stockings and white hats that are metamorphosed into stunning stars of the screen
看看那些蠢笨的矮胖女人，穿着黑色长统袜，戴着白草帽，让人比喻为幕布上令人眩目的星星
★ 不是有现成的丑小鸭白天鹅比喻吗？
a number of terrestrial women having pumpkins or pears for breasts
★ Nabokov is a mean, mean guy 
The dimmest of my pollutive dreams was a thousand times more dazzling than all the adultery the most virile writer of genius or the most talented impotent might imagine.
我依稀朦胧遭受玷污之梦境也比生命力最旺盛的天才作家或最有天赋的阳萎人所能想象出的苛合之事要璀灿一千倍。
★ mean AND narcissistic... i suppose those are prerequisites for being a writer? 
Here is Virgil who could the nymphet sing in a single tone, but probably preferred a lad's perineum.
这是维吉尔．他能使性感少女用一种声调唱歌，也很可能更喜欢一个小伙子的腹膜。
★ out came another~~
这幅是几位十岁的新娘被迫坐在木柴上，那是古代学业宫殿里刚劲象牙的象征。
Here are some brides of ten compelled to seat themselves on the fascinum, the virile ivory in the temples of classical scholarship.
★ 不明。
Thus isolated, thus removed, the vision acquired an especially keen charm that made me race with all speed toward my lone gratification.
如此形影相吊，如此销魂，这景色生出了一种勾心摄魄的诱惑力，促使我全速跑向我孤独的尤物。
★ nobody is running anywhere you know....
凭我这种臭耐性和挑剔劲，估计是没有资格做编辑的了。dream job呀你在哪里~~在呀么在哪里~~

Also, any reader would become a slow reader if he is even remotely aware of Nabokov's "games."
以下为blog主人的回复： 传说讲，纳博科夫语速跟不上思路，上课靠发笔记。这次看了些回忆文章，似乎不尽然。又说他是好老师，学生都爱他。当然他们文科生wire得不一样，玩game熟手熟路的。 |

Humbert Humbert, Vanessa Van Ness. 这人臭显白的本事和动力都太强了，看得我又气又笑。翻译实在是恐怖的事－－对我来说。我在恶人谷贴子里求三小姐帮忙翻俩字之请也被冷落，让我很伤心哪。过去我也反感说话夹中夹英，现在自食脚丫子了。
以下为blog主人的回复： 我也是。最怕有拼写错误的；如果不得不用英文，至少搞对写法了先。现在改口了，谨慎地说：有时候确实是要兼采众家之长。
翻译帖子在哪里？ 我是真没看见。Humbert一词的可能出典，那本注释书里洋洋洒洒扯了一页半。 |
