香港開埠百載華洋雜處,無論街道、建築、機構、器物名稱,乃至各種官方民間文案,幾乎全須中英對譯。譯名恍如我城肌理的「語言化石」,印證東西文化交匯,折射出語音、民族與社會意識的碰撞。
本書從譯者視角出發,聚焦生活中常見的雙(多)語名稱,解密語言轉換背後的文化邏輯、翻譯策略與身份表述,引領讀者遊走於語用學、翻譯理論之間,分享「譯名」如何成為文化與威權的無形角力場。
The everyday bilingual names of streets, buildings and foods are linguistic fossils; through a translator's eye, they reveal Hong Kong's story anew.
Since the city's founding more than a century ago, East and West have mingled here, and nearly every name — of streets, buildings, institutions and objects, alongside all manner of official and everyday texts — has had to pass between Chinese and English. These translated names are the "linguistic fossils" of our urban fabric, bearing witness to cultural exchange and refracting the collisions of sound, ethnicity and social consciousness.
Writing from a translator's perspective, the book focuses on the bilingual (and multilingual) names woven through daily life, unlocking the cultural logic, translation strategies and expressions of identity behind each act of linguistic conversion. It invites readers to wander between pragmatics and translation theory, and to see how a "translated name" becomes an invisible arena where culture and authority quietly contend.
