重溫我2016年寫的: Robert Finlay:鄭明萱譯《青花瓷的故事》The Pilgrim Art: Cultures of Porcelain in World History
2026 0731我看日本某小說的廣告《青瓷》,自問:
為何好友稱Porcelain為"青花瓷"而非正式的"青瓷"?
The Pilgrim Art: 確切的意思? GOOGLE 翻譯:《朝聖藝術》一書以千禧年歷史為線索,探索了中國瓷器在全球範圍內非凡的文化影響。
2026年問GOOGLE 此書: uses the phrase "pilgrim art" as a metaphor for Chinese porcelain.
其實,我們Simon University 朋友們做過更多的翻譯問題討論,但是,對亡友來說,無意義,就不談。
The Pilgrim Art is a 2010 historical book by Robert Finlay titled The Pilgrim Art: Cultures of Porcelain in World History, which uses the phrase "pilgrim art" as a metaphor for Chinese porcelain. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Themes of the Book
- Global Transmission: Finlay maps the worldwide journey of Chinese porcelain, illustrating its role in connecting disparate cultures through trade, from Persian cobalt to European aristocratic tables and American markets. [1]
- Cultural Influence: The book examines how porcelain acted as a catalyst for artistic exchange, influencing ceramic traditions across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. [1]
- Early Modern Globalism: It argues that the trade in this single commodity reflects the development of a complex, interconnected early global culture influencing religion and society. [1]
If you would like, I can provide:
- A summary of Robert Finlay's main arguments about globalization
- Details on how Chinese porcelain influenced European and Islamic art
Let me know how you'd like to proceed!

Robert Finlay:鄭明萱譯《青花瓷的故事》The Pilgrim Art: Cultures of Porcelain in World History
Robert Finlay《青花瓷的故事》(鄭明萱譯) ,2011年出版,一年內四刷。
2015年年底有第二版,可能是換封面。
對於想追根究柢的讀者,對於《推薦序》中的末段話,會覺得很有意思:"......卻完全不害文意,不減少全書的內容,實在是超優秀的譯作。......"
談點鄭明萱譯的《青花瓷的故事》:貓頭鷹出版社採取的正文不寫洋字母的方式,卻是對讀者極不方便,即,書名還要查它的漢字筆畫數.....又譬如說,描寫英國運河的沿河地名,你根本無從查起。
目錄未依原書方式在各章內分節。
Robert Finlay《青花瓷的故事》(鄭明萱譯) 的出版社編輯,堅持正文不附外文字母,書末用對照表說明。
這會有些問題,譬如說,內文"特安農宮 (凡爾賽)"沒收入對照,而Wikipedia有其它譯法: Petit Trianon 小特里亞農宮,凡爾賽宮。
本書引用Penguine 版的蒙田全集,部 SIC (不)過在"注釋 VS 參考資料"兩處出現 "1983 vs 1993"年份不一致。
譯者不知何故,都不將聖經及各經採用《》表示,譬如說,
頁85 (她採用的翻譯是不完全的:
舊約以斯拉 記(天主教譯名是厄斯德拉上)3:12 King James Bible
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who wereancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
- 許多曾在這地基上,親眼見過先前的聖殿的老司祭、老肋未人和老族長 ,面對這座聖殿,不禁放大哭,卻也有許多人歡喜高呼,
