Jgrant2 Posted February 19, 2008 at 09:41 PM Report Posted February 19, 2008 at 09:41 PM I am currently trying to translate Mianmian's short story "A Patient." I have a copy of it from Advanced Reader of Contemporary Chinese short stories. I was wondering if anyone knew if there were already any translated versions because I want to see how I am doing and make it flow a bit better. Thanks for any help! Quote
Lu Posted February 21, 2008 at 08:19 AM Report Posted February 21, 2008 at 08:19 AM No replies so far, so I'll just throw in a suggestion even though I don't really know the answer. There is a periodical for Chinese literature in English translation, called Renditions. Their translations are generally pretty good, and they have a website. Perhaps you could try looking for a translation there, even if they don't have it online, you then know where to go look for it. Good luck. Quote
rob07 Posted February 21, 2008 at 10:17 PM Report Posted February 21, 2008 at 10:17 PM Of Mian Mian's stuff, I think it is only Candy that has been translated into English. Unfortunately, most Chinese literature just does not get translated. That Advanced Reader of Contempory Chinese Short Stories (compiled by Ying Wang and Carrie E Reed, published by University of Washington Press) is really really good, in my opinion. It was one of my favourite books. Quote
Jgrant2 Posted February 26, 2008 at 06:31 PM Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 at 06:31 PM no luck with rendition and no luck elsewhere... guess I will keep pluggin along. main thing is this literature is a little over my head so I want to see if I have a good general idea of what I am doing and if its right....
