來自全世界

問：Around the world和from around the world有什麼分別？

答：Around可解作「遍及（某個地方）」，例如：People around the country were shocked by the news of the president's sudden death（全國人民聽到總統突然去世，都大感震驚）。From則有「來自」的意思，例如：The exhibition attracted visitors from around the country（全國各地都有人來參觀展覽）。同樣，around the world指「世界各地」，from around the world則指「來自世界各地」。以下兩句，請讀者看看應用around the world還是from around the world：（1）The financial tsunami caused much suffering＿＿＿（金融海嘯，給世界各地都帶來痛苦）。（2）Letters were received＿＿＿（收到世界各地的來信）。第一句當然應用around the world，第二句則用from around the world。

種類

問：網上有討論kind（種類）一字的單複數問題，連英語國家的人似乎也無法斷言那個用法正確。以下兩句，先生認為應怎樣選擇？──（1）What kind of patents is/ are being issued?（要發的是那一種專利？）（2）These kinds of thing/ things is/ are uncommon（這些類別的事情，很不尋常）。

答：這的確是個不容易回答的問題。今天，第一句一般會寫作What kind of patent is being issued，那patent隨便一點可改為patents。至於第二句，則會寫作These kinds of things are uncommon，那things改為thing也可以。
不過，this kind of thing這個今天普遍視為正宗的寫法，古代英國文豪往往會寫作these kind of things。例如莎士比亞戲劇King Lear第二幕第二場說：These kind of knaves I know（我知道這樣的惡棍）。波普（Alexander Pope）諷世長詩The Dunciad卷前A Letter to the Publisher（致出版商）說：These sort of authors are poor（這一類作家很窮）。可見單數的kind或sort之前，可以用these、those等複數限定詞（determiner），而of之後則用複數名詞，並配複數動詞。這寫法今天往往當作「不規矩」甚至「錯誤」。所以牛津字典Oxford Wordpower Dictionary說，以下第一句可以效法，第二句則很多人會視為不正確：（1）There are many kinds of camera/ cameras on the market（市場上有很多種照相機）。（2）Those kind/ sort of dogs are really dangerous（這種狗很危險）。

chancellor

問：大學向來有chancellor、vice-chancellor兩個職位，從前譯做「校監」和「校長」。但近年有把chancellor譯做「名譽校長」的，《牛津高階英漢雙解詞典》就是如此。這譯法正確嗎？
答：英式大學的chancellor，向來不掌校政，是名譽性質。從前，香港大學、香港中文大學都行英制，chancellor由香港總督擔任，叫做「校監」，而負責大學行政實務的vice-chancellor則叫「校長」。當然，假如chancellor譯做「校長」，vice-chancellor譯做「副校長」，也無不可。今天，港督在大學的名譽職位，已由香港行政長官取代。
Chancellor雖說是「名譽」職位，但假如譯做「名譽校長」，則地位、權力似乎都比「校長」或vice-chancellor低，正如國民黨名譽主席連戰的權力，遠遠比不上主席馬英九。所以，「名譽校長」這翻譯，起碼和香港大專界實況不符：香港行政長官決定大學事務的權力，十倍於大學校長。
除了vice-chancellor，香港也有大學校長叫president。這是美式大學校長叫法，由香港科技大學率先使用。這些大學的president，其上依然有chancellor，那可算是「英美合璧」的用語。

尽管这两个词都可以理解为“本身”这意思，但“per se”来自拉丁语，直译为英语的话基本上是“by itself”，所以它是用作副词的。而“itself”比“per se”少一个介词，只能当同位语用。

所以才导致了二者意义和使用习惯的不一致。就像 LL 说的，“per se”一般翻译成“本质上”，而“itself”是“本身”（这样也能看出二者是差了一个介词的）。

经雷，我這麼好一人你們怎麼老罵我呢 (⊙o⊙)？

Lawrence Li 赞同

除了语法结构，这两个用法的差别并不大。我看不出用是否存在“性质”或“本质”的含义可以区分它们俩。

可以有这样一个角度：英语人在表达时喜欢引入古代或异邦语言，本身就有增加可信度和表达美感的意识，和中国人讲话掺入英语词性质是差不多的。也就是per se听着更有文化些。

确切的说，per se是拉丁语，不是英语。因此在英语书写里面是斜体。

Per se = in itself

而 itself 就是itself

相当于中文语境里“XXX事物本身的性质”的时候，一般用per se

"XXX事物本身"的时候，一般用itself

影响力十分巨大

看紐約時報一篇Ellen DeGeneres的訪問，有段英文版這樣寫：
“The Ellen impact has been phenomenal,” said Esi Eggleston Bracey, general manager of CoverGirl Cosmetics. “She’s someone I would call a connector.”

中文版這樣譯：
“艾伦的影响力是现象级的，”“封面女郎”的总经理伊赛·艾格斯顿·布拉塞(Esi Eggleston)说，“她是那种我愿意称之为沟通者的人。”

現象級？甚麼字來的？

我查ICIBA字典，phenomenal中文是：现象的； 显著的； 异常的； 能知觉的。

我會譯：艾伦的影响力十分巨大。

在另一處，當Ellen DeGeneres說：“I do think it should be classy,” she continued after an uncomfortable silence. “It’s the Academy Awards.你猜中文怎樣譯？

竟然這樣譯：“我不觉得颁奖礼应该是高档气派的，”一阵颇令人不舒服的沉默之后，她继续说，“那是奥斯卡颁奖礼。

意思完全相反。

真不知大陸人怎樣做翻譯的。
