The Process of Formation and Influence of "Rodin's Sayingd' Edited by Kotaro Takamura

由日本雕塑家、诗人、艺术评论家高村孝太郎（1883-1956）编辑、引用并翻译成日文的《罗丹语录》，不仅在日本现代艺术史上享有盛誉，而且对日本人了解法国雕塑家奥古斯特·罗丹（1940-1917）的作品和生活产生了重要影响。在众多的日文译本中，高村的《红楼梦》因其翻译和版本问题而成为一个特殊的研究课题。本文对法国女作家、记者、罗丹的秘书朱迪思·克拉德尔（Judith Cladel，1873-1958）的英、法译本和弗雷德里克·劳顿（Frederick Lawton，？-？）的英译本进行了研究。可能是英国作家，也是罗丹的秘书和翻译，根据高村的《罗丹的琴》。本研究中采用的克拉德尔的文本是奥古斯特·罗丹，作品和人（1908年），《罗丹的笔记本》，世纪插图杂志（1914年），和罗丹的人和他的艺术与他的笔记本的叶子（1917年）。与这些文本相比，高村的日文《罗丹语录》（Rodan no Kotoba）（1916）和《罗丹语录：第二卷》（Zoku Rodan no Kotoba）（1920）得到了分析和考虑。劳顿的文本是奥古斯特·罗丹的生活和工作（1906）和弗朗索瓦·奥古斯特·罗丹（1907）。这些文本与高村的日文文本、《帝国文学杂志》（1916年）上的《罗丹的思想》（Rodart no Shiso）和《三国罗丹的琴场》（Zoku Rodan no Kotoba）（1920年）进行了比较。这些原始文本对高村了解罗丹的艺术和生活非常重要，他编辑并制作了《罗丹的琴场》，就像一本格言集。但他的翻译是非常正确的，流畅的，平原，和“不诗意”（高村），保持原文的意义和节奏。他的编辑方式看似随意，却意在将罗丹直接而有意义的声音汇集到高村阅读的体验过程中。

Rodan no Kotoba (Rodin's Sayings) edited, quoted and translated to Japanese by Kotaro Takamura (1883-1956), Japanese sculptor, poet, and art critic, are not only very famous but also very much influential for Japanese people to understand the works and life of French Sculptor, Auguste Rodin (1940-1917) in Japanese Modern Arts. Among other translations to Japanese, Takamura's is a special subject of inquiry because of its knotty problem of translation and edition.The reporter made some researches on the French & English texts of Judith Cladel (1873-1958), French woman of letters, journalist, and secretary to Rodin, and on those in English of Frederick Lawton (?-?), probable English writer, and secretary & interpreter to Rodin, in terms of "Rodan no Kotoba" by Takamura.The texts of Cladel taken up in this research are Auguste Rodin, l'oeuvre et l'homme (1908), "Rodin's Note-Book", Century Illustrated Magazine (1914), and Rodin The Man and His Art with Leaves from His Note-Book (1917). In comparison to these texts, Rodan no Kotoba (Rodin's Sayings)(1916) and Zoku Rodan no Kotoba (Rodin's Sayings : second volume)(1920) by Takamura in Japanese were analyzed and considered.The texts by Lawton taken up are Life and Work of Auguste Rodin (1906) and Francois Auguste Rodin (1907). These texts are made comparison with Japanese texts by Takamura, `Rodart no Shiso' (Rodin's Thoughts) in Teikoku Bungaku"(Imperial Literature Magazine)(1916) and Zoku Rodan no Kotoba (1920).These original texts are very important for Takamura to understand the art and life of Rodin and he edited and made up "Rodan no Kotoba" like a collection of aphorism. But his translation is very much correct, fluent, plain, and "not poetic" (by Takamura), keeping the meaning and rhythm of the original texts. His way of edition may look arbitrary, but is intended to make a collection of direct and meaningful voices of Rodin, to the process of experience of readings of Takamura.
