Self-translation and bilingual writing as a translational writer in the age of machine translation

被无名、被无题、被无聊

Image
写文章发表是件好事,但被人放到网上,却把作者名字拿掉,这事就不好了。把作者名和文章名都拿掉,这就更不好了。这是昨天发现的一个情况,看图即知。最后一图是完整的信息。也不知道如何应对此类事情,只能由它去了。请问各位写作朋友是否都喜欢这样被无名、被无题、被无聊的。这篇文章自 2013 年发表,到现在才不过 10 年,居然就被无名化、无题化、无聊化到这种地步。可想而知,可想象而知,不要多久,作为作者的作品,包括成书的作品,都会被这样拿掉标题、拿掉书名、拿掉作者名字,在网上和盘托出,供人随便取拿,为鲁迅的“拿来主义”做一个机器人时代的完美诠释。实在无聊至极。 注:一图和二图都没有名字,二图无名也无题,而是换了一个名字。三图均有,那是因为我从另外一个地方截取的

《侣》,选自《像住在无名流星上一样陌生、遥远、孤独》

Bastard Moon, the last remaining copy in the world

Image
Forgot to say that this is the first issue in which Otherland Publishing collaborated with Deakin University in publishing a collection of essays on Chinese Australian writings, edited by Professor Wenche Ommundsen, followed by another issue by collaborating with La Trobe University in publishing a collection of articles on Chinese lives after the gold rush, edited by Professor John Fitzgerald. 'Bastard moon' was picked from my poem, 'Moon over Melbourne'. We welcome more opportunities in such collaborations.
