法蘭克福書展將於7日登場,楊双子的《臺灣漫遊錄》也自本月起在德國展開德語版宣傳。沒想到首場1日在慕尼黑的見面會,竟傳出「口譯」未能如實傳達現場對話內容的情況,甚至刻意迴避「中華民國」與「中國」等字詞,對此,春山出版已確定後續的德語口譯都改為旅德作家林育立,並於德國時間今(4)日開始,直到法蘭克福書展的多場口譯都由林育立擔任。

春山出版社透過臉書表示,德國出版社DuMont行銷Julie說,《臺灣漫遊錄》德文版剛發書就再刷了,德國媒體主動邀訪的情況也很熱烈,都是很少見的情況。

楊双子在慕尼黑講述了為什麼想寫一個一百年前的故事,食物與旅行她相信是穿越時空不變吸引人心的事情,「她也傳達臺灣主體敘事的重要性,在得獎後一直思考如何在國際場合傳達臺灣的複雜性。」

春山出版社指出,德國讀者很愛聽朗讀,是問題討論與朗讀輪流穿插,德語譯者白嘉琳(Karin Betz)讀得特別美,感覺音韻很棒。主持人馬凱(Kai Strittmatter)也是懂華語的《南德日報》記者,現場穿針引線「不時幫忙補充口譯無法翻譯」的部分。馬凱也有中文著作在臺灣,是林育立翻譯的《和諧社會:中國,大數據監控下的美麗新世界》。

據《中央社》報導,春山出版總編輯莊瑞琳指出,現場楊双子談及中國對台灣的威脅時,現場翻譯無法完整轉譯、未向講者轉達主持人與譯者的德語對談,也未翻出「中國」、「中華民國」等詞,引發在現場的民眾上網留言表示口譯「不專業」。事後也傳出中國駐慕尼黑領事館曾接觸文學館,希望取消活動,但遭到館方拒絕。

春山出版社表示,「這場活動的口譯情況不佳,讓現場與線上讀者失望了,我們深感遺憾,也再次認知到口譯傳達的重要性,如果有參加的讀者看到這則貼文,我們已經有跟主辦方與德國出版社強烈表達,主辦方對於這個結果也表示歉意。後續的德語口譯都將由春山出版指定的林育立親自上場,相信活動會更加順利。」

Open Questions

  • 原口譯人員的背景與動機為何?
  • 德國主辦方後續是否會加強對口譯人員的審核?
