The Linguistic Possibilities of Futabatei Shimei' Early Translations

本研究的目的是对双叶寺美的中篇小说《幽会》（《幽会》，首次发表于1888.7/ 188年的《国民无tomo》）进行评论。我们首先将第一次出版的文本整理成段落，并将其与被认为是屠格涅夫使用的原始文本配对。将后者翻译成现代日语，我们在几次研讨会上讨论和分析了这项工作。评论本身针对的是单个词汇的层面；在为缺少拼音的汉字提供拼音注释的同时，我们还试图通过从当代资料中找到尽可能多的例子来阐明石美的词汇。我们还试图找出原稿和他收录在1896年的《单相思》（Karakoi）中的删节版之间的差异。对于屠格涅夫原文中的一些词，我们参考了俄日词典《罗和集》（1887）中的定义，据说石美曾参与编纂该词典。这篇评注是第一次系统地分析石美的翻译，并结合日本当代文学资料进行分析。结果显示了日本和俄欧文学的发展过程。我们打算将我们的项目进行到底，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.
