The Thousand and One Nights, Vol. I.: Commonly Called the Arabian Nights' Entertainments — Page 11
印刷所用的手稿经过一位博学之士——谢赫·阿卜杜尔-拉赫曼·埃萨夫提·埃沙尔卡维——仔细校对和修订,他还亲自监督了整个付印出版的过程。
The manuscript from which it was printed was carefully collated and corrected by a very learned man, the sheykh 'Abd-Er-Raḥmán Eṣ-Ṣaftee Esh-Sharḳáwee, who also superintended the progress of the work through the press.
然而,除了这位谢赫的校订所赋予其的价值之外,我翻译全文所依据的版本——除少数情况外——还具备另一项优势,我认为这使它无可比拟地优于目前任何其他现存版本:
But in addition to the value conferred upon it by the corrections of this sheykh, the copy from which the whole of my translation is made, except in a few instances, possesses an advantage which, I believe, renders it incomparably superior to any other now existing:
它已由一位我认为可以毫不犹豫地称之为当今第一阿拉伯学府首席语言学家的人——谢赫·穆罕默德·伊亚德·坦塔维,或更准确地说,坦迪塔伊——再次修订、校正,并附以大量手写注释。
it has been again revised and corrected, and illustrated with numerous manuscript notes, by a person whom I think I may safely pronounce the first philologist of the first Arab college of the present day, the sheykh Moḥammad 'Eiyád Eṭ-Ṭanṭáwee, or, more properly, Eṭ-Ṭanditáee.
他的注释主要涉及语言学,解释那些不属于古典语言的词汇,其中许多对我帮助极大;不过,由于我在与讲阿拉伯语的民众交往中所积累的现代阿拉伯语知识,我发现大多数注释对我而言并非必要。
His notes are chiefly philological, and explanatory of words which do not belong to the classical language; and many of them are of very great assistance to me; though most of them I find unnecessary, from the knowledge of the modern Arabic which I have acquired during my intercourse with the people who speak it.
他对正文的校订数量众多;由于这些内容对很少数人会有兴趣,我在译文注释中仅提及了其中少数几处,尽管我曾强烈地想要做出不同的处理——为的是让阿拉伯语学者能够通过将我的译文与开罗版正文相对照,来评判我译本的忠实程度。
His corrections of the text are numerous; and as they would interest very few persons, I have mentioned but few of them in the notes to my translation, notwithstanding a strong temptation that I felt to do otherwise in order that Arabic scholars might be assisted to judge of the fidelity of my version by comparing it with the text of the Cairo edition.
