This talk will present ideas promoted by translation theorists such as Antoine Berman (1985), writing in French, on the effects of word-for-word translation and word-for word commentary of texts. Berman's argument that a focus on the 'word' of a source text will valorize translation after centuries of disrespect and abuse will be tested in analyses of word-for-word English translations of the creation myth, the story of Adam and Eve, told in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The feminist aspect of these three translations dating from the 1850s (by Julia Evelina Smith), the 1890s (by Elizabeth Cady Stanton) and the 1990s (by Mary Phil Korsak) will be presented as also, in their turn, countering the disrespect and abuse of women.

??????? 本次講座將講述安托瓦納·貝爾曼（1985, 法語著作）等翻譯理論家提出的對逐字翻譯和逐字翻譯文本注釋影響的觀點(diǎn)。貝爾曼認(rèn)為，幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，分析《創(chuàng)世神話》（基督教圣經(jīng)舊約中講述亞當(dāng)和夏娃的故事）逐字英譯的過程考驗(yàn)了對女性的輕視和虐待，而如今對“詞“的專注會穩(wěn)定翻譯的價(jià)值。 《創(chuàng)世神話》有三個(gè)譯本：19世紀(jì)50年代朱莉婭·史密斯的翻譯，19世紀(jì)90年代伊麗莎白·卡迪·斯坦頓的翻譯，以及20世紀(jì)90年代瑪麗?菲爾?科薩克的翻譯。本講座亦將講述其中體現(xiàn)的女權(quán)主義思想，反擊了當(dāng)時(shí)的女性輕視和虐待。
