Translating Holmes as Sherlock Holmes, did Hu Jianren do it? Lin Shu of the Republic of China is really Hu Jian

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is a saying: the translation of the world belongs to Yan Lin. It means that the translator is at home, and they are top2. But it is said that Yan Fu is quite dismissive, thinking that Lin Shu's two knives, putting them together with him is a bargain. What Yan Fu means is that Lin Shu himself does not understand English, but he cooperates with others and translates one hundred and sixty or seventy English novels. How can someone who doesn't even understand a foreign language be called a translator?

Yan Fu believes that good translation requires three standards of Xindaya. Lin Shu is only responsible for Ya. It is said that the situation is like this, the sailor with many years of life experience, half born into the sea, and half understand some English, so he translated the meaning of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to Lin Shu, Who waved a large pen and wrote the title of the Book in Chinese as "Black Slave Calling Heavenly Record". You see, it's all about it.

As for Holmes, why is there no transliteration of Hulmos, there are rumors that Lin Shu translated, because Lin Shu is a Hu Jianren, hf is not divided, so it is translated in this way.

Then there were really good people who examined it, went to the library to check the ancient books, and flipped through the periodicals of the Republic of China period. It was found that Lin Shu did translate it as "Sherlock Holmes" in 1908 (in fact, Lin Shu only had one article about The Story of Sherlock Holmes, that is, the 1908 translation of "The Opening of the Sherlockie Case").

However, Lin Shu was not the first to translate Sherlock Holmes. Earlier translations of detective novels began at the end of the nineteenth century (1896). The first appearance of the sherlock Holmes translation, according to research, was in 1902, Huang Ding translated as "Hugh Locke Fuer Moss". Therefore, this translation is not the creation of the famous Hu Jianren Lin Shu.

But here's the thing: Huang Ding is also a Hu Jianren.
