風輕雲淡話生涯 楊憲益先生訪談 （人物－戴 萍）
詩與散文
Allan Ramsay 在S. Johnson的文學俱樂部中提出很多有趣的見解譬如說 荷馬史詩既然在"古遠"即成
那應該有樸素的散文翻譯來表現其精神（譬如說 楊憲益 的荷馬史詩《奧德修紀》）
Johnson說法則是要欣賞它們 只能從詩體得之 （可能在1778年 Good Friday之後所言）
茅盾《最漂亮的生意》："據此道中人說，此中困難，不在得車，而在領照，不患無客，而患在缺油。"

Bernard Shaw: Pygmalion ActII（1914）
英國小說-戲劇中的倫敦名街（12）兩座聖保羅教堂 Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)著 Pygmalion（1916. 林語堂譯『賣花女』1929）台南：關山書局印行，1967 )楊憲益譯『皮格馬利翁』翻譯年代不詳）收入『外國戲劇百年精華』北京：人民文學，2005 【林語堂】 西元1895～1976）福建龍溪人，為二十世紀享…….
Pygmalion及其它 在《戴明博士四日談》第28頁中我對西洋神話Pygmalion效應及其在教育上和管理上所謂的「期望理論（Expectation Theory）即師生或主管與部屬之間會互動，前者對後者期望愈殷切，常常導致後者成就愈大。我舉了蕭伯納的《賣花女(窈窕淑女)作例。

林語堂先生的對譯版注：派克路：倫敦街名，闊人及富戶聚居之處。
楊憲益先生的譯本注：「公園路是倫敦有錢人的住宅區」
THE NOTE TAKER. Oh yes. Quite a fat one. This is an age of upstarts. Men begin in Kentish Town with £80 a year, and end in Park Lane with a hundred thousand. They want to drop Kentish Town; but they give themselves away every time they open their mouths. Now I can teach them—
林語堂先生的對譯版注：「現在是暴發戶的時代。人家起初在肯特城，一年八十鎊的收入，後來住在派克路，一年就是十萬。他們想擺脫掉肯特城（的口音）；但是一開口就露出馬腳來了。我卻能教他們--」
楊憲益先生的譯本注：「現在是個暴發戶的時代。有些人開始在堪提須鎮一年收入只有八十鎊，結果住了公園路一年掙十萬鎊。這些人都想把老地方的土音丟掉；可是每回一張開嘴就露出馬腳來了。我可能夠教這人--」
案：林語堂和楊先生都沒注Kentish Town 為倫敦一「郊區」：http://www.answers.com/Kentish%20town

楊憲益先 生翻譯蕭伯納（George Bernard Shaw）著的Caesar and Cleopatra【網路上有主文】 採中英對照，「另一序幕」（AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE PROLOGUE）【網路上主文稱為Act I】對話開始，許多字看似簡單，然而還是得多查辭典（用【】表示）。
Belzanor. By Apis, Persian, thy gods are good to thee.
the Persian. Try yet again, O captain. Double or quits! 隊長，再來一次。要麼輸雙份，要麼兩不欠。
Belzanor. No more. I am not in the vein. 不來了。我手氣不好。
the Sentinel (poising his javelin（標槍）as he peers over the wall). Stand. Who goes there?
They all start, listening. A strange voice replies from without.
Voice. The bearer of evil tidings.
Belzanor (calling to the sentry). Pass him.
【vein (MOOD)noun [S or U] v. tr. - 使成脈絡, 像脈絡般分佈於。日本語 (Japanese) n. - 静脈, 血管, 気質, 葉脈, 翅脈, 気分, 鉱脈。a style or a temporary mood: 兩例
The opening scene is very violent, and the rest of the film continues in (a) similar vein.
After laughing over the photo, they began to talk in (a) more serious vein about the damaging effect it could have on his career.】
【start之中文「v. intr. - 出發, 起程, 發生, 開始, 著手, 啟動v. tr. - 使開始, 開始, 發起, 引起, 創辦n. - 出發, 出發時間, 出發點, 起始, 最初」，似乎都未將A sudden and involuntary movement: bolt, jump, startle. See move/halt.和A startled reaction or movement.翻譯。】
【tiding n. - 一條新聞, 消息, 音信； (Japanese) n. - 便り】
alas！A. Breton；施尼茨勒 vs史尼茨勒 ；中文緣
rl：re: 【alas！不知法文】
alas為古法語，字典解釋為 de découragement（氣餒，洩氣），意思應該是：因氣餒而感嘆。
當代法語字典未查得，不過意外地在英語字典可查得
used as an exclamation to express sorrow, grief, pity, concern, or apprehension of evil.
可譯作：「哎呀！」
這直譯的要求，可以用另外一極端例說明。楊憲益先生翻譯過簫伯納的『凱撒與克莉奧佩特拉』，他說，書名也不夠通俗，但似乎無更好的辦法。萬一有人將它翻譯成『霸王與別姬』，有人想起西楚霸王，有人則想到梅蘭芳和楊小樓的東西。

讀 劉紹銘『一條漢子』（中國時報2004.12.10）
很早就想簡記楊憲益和英籍夫人戴乃迭（Gladys Taylor）的翻譯事業（他們夫婦檔的選書，雖然多心不由己，不過苦中作樂，或許也有可觀，可惜我都沒機會讀；我看過近年大陸出版的一些他們的傳記）。不過，劉文強調「「六四」民運期間對學生的支持，可說義無反顧。」「八十九歲的老人，未知尚能飯否？ 」
真正他的朋友問的方式是「尚能酒否？ 」--他連回憶錄都用《漏船載酒憶當年》（參考甘陽的『將錯就錯』中之文等）。他近來寫些序。最令人懷念的是他早期的兩部筆記，後來合成『零墨新箋—譯餘文史考証集』（台灣台北的明文書局有「轉印本」，1985），最能看出其才情。
