The Linguistic Possibilities of Futabatei Shimei' Early Translations

本研究的目的是编辑一个评论双亭志美的中篇小说“Aibiki”（“Renaissance”，首次发表在“Kokumin no tomo”，1888.7/8）。我们首先将第一篇发表的文章整理成段落，并将其与屠格涅夫的原文配对。在将《释名》翻译成现代日语后，我们在几次研讨会上对这部作品进行了讨论和分析。评论本身是针对单个单词的，在对缺少汉字的汉字进行语音注释的同时，我们还希望通过尽可能多地从当代来源中找到例子来阐明释名的词汇。我们还试图确定原始版本和他的删节版本之间的差异，包括在“Karakoi”（“单恋”，1896年）。对于屠格涅夫原著中的一些词语，我们展示了《俄日词典》（1887年）中的定义，据说这本词典是师美帮助编纂的。这篇评论是第一次尝试根据原著和当代日本文学资料来系统地分析师美的翻译。这一成果展示了日本文学和俄欧文学的发展历程。我们打算继续我们的项目，并在未来公布结果。

The goal of the present research was to compile a commentary on Futabatei Shimei's novella "Aibiki" ("Rendezvous," first published in "Kokumin no tomo," 1888.7/8). We went about this by first collating the first published text into paragraphs and pairing this with the original Turgenev text he is thought to have used. Translating the latter into modern Japanese, we proceeded to discuss and analyze the work over several workshop sessions.The commentary itself was targeted at the level of individual words ; while providing phonetic glosses for kanji characters lacking them, we also aimed to illuminated Shimei's vocabulary by locating as many examples as possible from contemporary sources. We also attempted to pin down the differences between the original and his abridged version included in "Karakoi" ("Unrequited Love," 1896). For a number of words in Turgenev's original, we showed the definitions included in the Russian-Japanese dictionary "Rowa jii" (1887), which Shimei's is said to have helped compile.This commentary is the first systematic attempt to analyze Shimei's translation in the light of the original and of contemporary Japanese literary sources. The outcome displays the process of both Japanese and Russo-European literature. We intend to continue our project to its end, and in the future to publish the results.
