I. Preamble
Dear officials, today I want to tell you a story. Who is the protagonist of this story? Everyone who has paid attention to recent movies, I think they already know a little bit, that is, "The Little Prince" that people love, ghosts and ghosts, and immortals! Yes, "The Little Prince" is the character of this story.
The Little Prince, as a work by Antoni de Saint-Exupéry of France, has been called "the best-selling classical literary work in the world after the Bible" in terms of reading rate, and it has an incomparably powerful heat in itself. Recently, with the arrival of the "Little Prince" movie, this little child has become more popular, and the value of "The Little Prince" published by various publishing houses has also risen, and some products have been sold out directly.
Feel free to give a link to a product
Recommendation of Aunt Zhang
1。 Milk Tea East's:
2。 a to z:
3。 Some meow:
4。 Of course, there is a certain dang, don't forget this, although other products are not wanted by many people, but as a book shopping mall, it should be quite qualified.
3. Drying orders
First of all, let's take a group photo of the posting list. There are more than 70 domestic translations, and I do not intend to collect them all. It is a pity that there is no one translated by Hu Yusu.
1。 "The Little Prince", Friendship Publishing House, preface by Zhou Guoping, translated by Hu Yusu.
Netizens recommend this version as the best translation in China, which has long been unprinted, and occasionally appears in Confucius's old book network (the price is high, dozens of times). I didn't have the book, but found the word version from the web and borrowed it.
Cover of The Little Prince published by Friendship Press. The color scheme is very fresh, and the photo of the little prince falling to the ground after being bitten by the snake is selected, revealing a faint sad atmosphere.
Excerpt from Zhou Guoping's preface. Undisguised words of praise, it can be seen that Zhou Guoping really loves this work deeply.
2。 The Little Prince (Chinese, English and French 60th Anniversary Color Commemorative Edition), Qunyan Publishing House, translated by Hong You.
The cover is more colorful, using the picture of the little prince and the rose.
Hong You's own prologue.
3。 The Little Prince, People's Literature Publishing House, translated by Ma Zhenping, hard shell.
The slightly dark red cover did not use any of the pictures inside the little prince. The heptagonal frame has the shadow of an ancient Chinese garden.
Ma Zhenping's impressions, why he chose the last page, personally feel that the last page reflects Ma Zhenping's interpretation of the work.
4。 The Little Prince, Tianjin Education Publishing House, translated by Ai Ke.
Relatively fresh. The cover did not use the breakthrough of the little prince, but the waist cover chose the author's manuscript picture.
Purple Shirt wrote the guide, I am the little fox waiting for love. Highlight the love story within the little prince. On the left is a picture of the author's manuscript that matches the waist seal.
5。 "The Little Prince", Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House, translated by Zhang Xiaoxian, hard shell.
Zhang Xiaoxian's version also takes the fresh route (closer to her personal style), although the gilded little prince highlights a little bit of fashion.
Zhang Xiaoxian's own interpretation, the little fox in his heart, also takes the love story as the main line.
6。 The Little Prince, Shanghai Translation Publishing House, translated by Zhou Kexi.
The cover is a portrait of the little prince. Flowing scarf, blonde hair, personally prefer this cover.
There is no introduction, no order, that is, the author's introduction. On the left is the author's photo.
7。 The Little Prince, China Overseas Chinese Publishing House, translated by Lin Xiuqing (also the translator of the 65th anniversary edition of China, English and France), hard shell.
A photo of the volcano of the little prince's planet was selected.
A bunch of prefaces written by the translator are basic introductions.
8。 The Little Prince (manuscript painting version), Jilin Literature and History Publishing House, translated by Wang Meizi.
Cover, middle box, but some design colors, the surrounding personal feeling is a bit tacky, even if the little prince has rose love, it will not get a gorgeous rose up.
Introduction to the author. Start with where the little prince went (imitating the author's self-murmur).
Translation comparison
1。 Comparison of dedication translations
A comparison table was made, and the color font part was the most different part.
2。 Translation comparison in the first section
First of all, in the first natural paragraph of English, about "I" seeing the book, the word used is "true stories from nature", and the French word is "histories vecues" (the word e has a phonetic transcription that slopes upwards to the right).
Hu Yusu's version, the title of the book translated as "True Story". Hu Yusu should refer to the French version of the translation.
Hong You's edition, the title of the book translated as "The True Story of Nature", added the definite phrase "nature". It should be translated by reference to the English version.
Ma Zhenping edition, the title of the book translated as "The Story of Personal Experience", this has the flavor of paraphrasing. It feels like it was translated from the French version.
Echo edition, the title of the book translated as "The True Story of Life", also has the flavor of paraphrasing. It feels like it was translated from the French version.
Zhang Xiaoxian edition, the title of the book translated as "Nature Records", the sentences are concise. It should be translated by reference to the English version.
Zhou Kexi edition, the title of the book translated as "The True Story". It should be translated by reference to the French version.
Lin Xiuqing's version, the title of the book translated as "The Story of Personal Experience", is the same as Ma Zhenping's version. It feels like it was translated from the French version.
Wang Meizi edition, the title of the book translated as "The Story of My Personal Experience", the taste of the paraphrasing has reached a higher level. It feels like it was translated from the French version.
3。 Translation nonsense
If you pay more attention to the original work in order to taste the original work, I personally do not recommend purchasing the following version:
5。 "The Little Prince", Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House, translated by Zhang Xiaoxian, hard shell. There are too many personal deductions, and some of the translations are far from the original meaning.
7。 The Little Prince, China Overseas Chinese Publishing House, translated by Lin Xiuqing (also the translator of the 65th anniversary edition of China, English and France), hard shell. - The translation is blunt.
For example, in verse 22, the last sentence translates as "'They have hope.'" Said the wrench. "Look up the English, here the word isucky, look up the French, here is de la chance." Should be translated as Lucky.
8。 The Little Prince (manuscript painting version), Jilin Literature and History Publishing House, translated by Wang Meizi. —— The translation is relatively blunt, and although this person's translated works are not many but particularly mixed, it does not feel professional.
