Translation word count each day 一日翻譯量
做了翻譯十多年，好多人問過我這個問題。說實在的，早期可能大概會計算一下，後來經驗比較多之後就不大在意了。業界一般認為譯者每日翻譯字數應該以兩千字為極限。或許有譯者緊守這個字數，以免超出極限之後的翻譯質素滑落。 這一個限制有其道理，但我也已經過了這個階段。接案比較忙的時候，白天處理英譯中字幕、中譯英文件，晚間將中文漫畫或小說翻譯成英文，亦是可能。曾經試過半夜兩點依然譯著小說，頭腦像是準備進入淺眠階段，第二天檢查前一夜我譯出來的英文，其實錯誤很少，所以後續的校對也順利。...

Beyond psychopathology 精神病理學之外
剛剛讀完鄭秀文十年前出版的《值得》，書中收錄她的專欄文章，亦憶述她戰勝抑鬱症的過程。 讀過這本書才知道她的文學啟蒙是歌德《少年維特的煩惱》。她說讀過歌德就從此陷入了文學世界，常常讀書讀得廢寢忘餐、通宵達旦。熟悉鄭秀文的歌迷也許知道，她曾經沉澱兩年，這本書亦有提及。她透過文章探討自己以往不斷追求完美的過程導致自己抑鬱，以及其後如何自己寫專欄、讀書、信教而讓自己走出情緒困擾。...
