一场盛宴:第四届上海国际图书馆论坛(一)

           第四届上海国际图书馆论坛(SILF2008)于昨天(22日)下午十七时落下了帷幕,有关SILF2008的系列博文今日开始。

                                                                 Joseph Branin 之八卦英译中

在SILF2008的第一天印象深刻的,不是有着万人迷的老陆的报告,也不是科学家同济大学校长的报告,而是来自美国俄亥俄州立大学( The Ohio State University )的图书馆馆长Joseph Branin 所作的“ Future of the Academic Library”的报告。

          在做报告前,主持人介绍了Joseph Branin 的诸多头衔和成就后,特别提到了Joseph Branin 做过无数的演讲,今天大家可以一睹其演讲的风采。果然,Joseph Branin 带着亲和的笑容、面对台下观众侃侃而谈,全无一点报告人的拘谨,及拘泥于报告的姿态。有那么一瞬间,在费力无比的边看PPT边听着英文的我,竟然错以为台上是美国总统候选人奥巴马在面对选民演讲呢。

         但真正让人惊叹的,是Joseph Branin 在报告PPT中秀出的诸多英译中,翻译得直取要义、灵逸巧妙,与当今图林中正大行其道的八卦精神特别符合(为了证实Joseph Branin 与2.0的关系,俺刚才去搜索了一下,发现此君注重数字化时代的知识管理、知识库等的研究,与Keven师有相似处,嘿嘿,难怪);在会后交流中,几位同仁也都不约而同地谈到这让人印象深刻的翻译。

        八卦翻译,摘录于下:

      报告题目:  Shaping Our Space: Envisioning the New Research Library

                             塑造我们的空间:未来的新型学术图书馆

1、 No Shortage of Predictions
多少新鲜事,尽在预期中

2、 Infotopia or Dystopia?
信息乌托邦?信息敌托邦?

3、 Reports in the Library Literature
图书馆学文献撷英

4、 Strategic Directions for Creating the Future of the Academic Library: My Perspective

创造学术图书馆未来的战略方针:一孔之见

5、 Continuing Growth of Publication
洛阳纸不贵,出版也疯狂

6、 Touch of Print: Making Sense of Information
曾几何时:求知惟有读“书”

7、 Library Storage Needs
金匮石室书为患

8、 Overcrowded Shelving Conditions
顶天立地挤不下

Less-than-ideal StorageConditions
横趴歪躺无处藏

9、 The Original Reading Room 俄州大阅览室:原貌

The Current Reading Room 俄州大阅览室:今颜

10、The Grand Reference Hall, 2009 (rendering)
整旧如旧待来年

11、 Cornell’s Periodicals Room was hardly used by 2001.

2001年,康乃尔的报刊阅览室无人问津

Transformed into a wired café, the space is now one of the campus’smost popular study and meeting places.

摇身变为无线吧,座无虚席

12、 Libraries Key in Shaping Students’ College Choice 学生择校,图书馆优先

       报告中,当我看到将“ The Current Reading Room ”翻译成“ 俄州大阅览室:今颜” 时,不禁想,是Joseph Branin翻译的吗?应该不是。那又是谁呢,请的中文高手帮助?哼,真NND的有才,俺不禁忿忿然……
