The Three Musketeers/三个火枪手

<p>The Seminal Translation That Inspired Louis Cha (Jin Yong) to Embark on His Martial Arts Fiction Journey</p><p>让金庸走上武侠之路的翻译神作</p><p></p><p>Wu Guangjian was the first translator of novels in the early Republic of China. His vernacular language is different from both traditional old novels and the vernacular language of new literature during the May Fourth period. It is unique simple and humorous. The translation of this book has some deletions but the deletions are very appropriate equivalent to a second creation. It does not damage the brilliance of the original book but also vividly portrays the different personalities of Daton and the three Musketeers.</p><p>伍光建是民国早期小说翻译第一人，他的白话文，既不同于传统旧小说的文字，也不同于五四时期新文学的白话文，别具一格，朴素而又风趣。本书翻译有删节，但是删节很有分寸，相当于二次创作，既不损害原书的精彩，又将达特安和三个火枪手的不同个性表现得非常鲜明。 </p><p></p><p>The Three Musketeers is one of the representative works of French writer Alexandre Dumas. It is set against the historical backdrop of the Louis XIII era in 17th century France and tells the story of Archbishop Li Shu Li's desperate attempt to seize the opportunity to help King Louis XIII and uncover the ambiguous relationship between the Queen and the British Prime Minister the Duke of Buckingham. The protagonist Datian and his good friends three musketeers engaged in a series of struggles to rescue the queen and break through the web set by the Archbishop ultimately preserving the queen's reputation. The plot of the whole book is intricate and vivid and in the context of the great era it is even more shocking to read.</p><p>《三个火枪手》是法国作家大仲马的代表作之一，它以17世纪法国路易十三时期为历史背景，叙述了大主教立殊理为了帮助国王路易十三，费尽心机想要抓住王后与英国首相巴金汗公爵暧昧关系的把柄。主人公达特安和他的好朋友三个火枪手则为解救王后，冲破大主教所设下的罗网而展开了一系列的斗争，最终保全了王后的名誉。全书情节曲折生动，在大时代背景下，读来更加震撼人心。</p>
