追忆似水年华第一部:在斯万家那边(In Search of Lost Time, Vol. I: Swann’s Way)简介:

Relax: it's fantastic. There's no question that Davis's American English is thinner and more literal than C.K. Scott Montcrieff's archaically inflected turns of phrase and idioms, at least as revised by Terence Kilmartin and later by D.J. Enright. The removal of some of the familiar layers of the past in this all-new translation gives one a feeling similar to that of encountering an old master painting that has just been cleaned: the colors seem sharper and momentarily disorienting. Yet many readers will find it exhilarating, allowing the text to shed slight airs that were not quite Proust's and making many of the jokes much more immediate (as when he implies that sense-organ atrophy in the bourgeois is a defense mechanism and the result of hardening unarticulated feelings). As accomplished translator and novelist Davis (The End of the Story) notes in her foreword, she has followed Proust's sentence structure as closely as possible "in its every aspect," including punctuation, word order and word choice. To take just one case, where Montcrieff/Kilmartin describe Mlle. Vinteuil finding it pleasant to metaphorically "sojourn" in sadism, Davis has the much more definitive "emigrate." Proust's psychological inquiry generally feels much sharper, giving a much more palpable sense of Freud and Bergson-and of the young Marcel's willful (if not malefic) manipulations of those around him. For first-timers who don't have French and are allergic to the slightest whiff of euphemism, this is the best means for traveling the way by Swann's.

《追忆似水年华》以第一人称描写,叙述者马塞尔患有重度失眠症,经常处于半睡半醒的状态,开始回忆起童年时在贡布雷的生活。男主人翁年幼时的体弱多病,敏感异常,有一年夏天晚上,邻居斯万先生,没有斯万夫人奥黛特陪同,来看望叙述者的父母。叙述者睡前等不到母亲的亲吻,心里非常难受。有一年冬天,他把玛德莱娜小蛋糕浸泡在茶水中吃,这味道使他想起他童年时在莱奥妮姨妈家里。在贡布雷家,有两条步行小道,一条通往斯万家,称为斯万家之路,另一条通往盖尔芒特府邸,称为盖尔芒特家之路。斯万先生在剧院里结识了交际花奥黛特·德·克雷西,事实上是一名高级妓女,一开始斯万先生不喜欢她,后来逐渐爱上她。维尔迪兰夫人觉得斯万令人厌烦,便不再邀请他。
