
Most of the Cinese translations of
“ A Christmas Carol ” are
appropriate .
In the part of the last of the spirits,
“ It is not that the hand is heavy
and will fall down when released; it
is not that the heart and pulse are
still; but that the hand WAS open,
generous, and true; the heart brave,
warm, and tender; and the pulse a
man’s. The Cinese translation is
“ 死人僵硬和不聽使喚的手算不了什麼，
只要那人的手生前是大方的、慷慨的和忠
誠的，只要他的心是勇敢的、熱忱的和溫
柔的，只要他的動脈是有人性的，那就可
以了.”

 Some of the translations are not easy reading.
 Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever
struck out gernerous fire. The Cinese translation is “ 吝嗇
又尖刻得好像一塊打火石，但是從來沒有鋼棒可以在他身上打出慷慨
的火花.” We can translate that “沒有鋼棒可以在堅硬又鋒利的
打火石上，激打出慷慨的火花.”
