Abstract

In 1927, just before completing the first Japanese translation of Shakespeare’s Complete Works, Tsubouchi Shōyō (1859–1935) selected eight of his translations for inclusion in his own Selected Works, which were published in fifteen volumes in conclusion to his career as one of the leading exponents of cultural reform of his generation. His choice is idiosyncratic as it omits the plays that had become most popular during the period of Shakespeare’s initial reception in late nineteenth-century Japan, but includes a number that were relatively unknown, such as Measure for Measure. This article suggests likely reasons for his selection before discussing the comments he makes on each play in his translation prefaces, and thus provides an overview of what Tsubouchi had come to value about Shakespeare.

20世纪20年代的日本将莎士比亚奉为圣人
1927年,就在完成莎士比亚全集的第一个日文译本之前,Tsubouchi Shōyō(1859-1935)选择了他的8个译本,收录在他自己的《选集》中,这部15卷的选集出版了,作为他那一代文化改革的主要倡导者之一,他的职业生涯结束了。他的选择是独特的,因为它省略了在19世纪后期莎士比亚最初在日本受到欢迎的时期最流行的戏剧,但包括了一些相对不为人知的戏剧,比如《一报还一报》。这篇文章在讨论Tsubouchi在他的翻译序言中对每一部戏剧的评论之前,提出了他选择的可能原因,从而提供了Tsubouchi对莎士比亚的价值的概述。
