A Chinese text useful in many ways --,
By William A. Lyell (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glimpses of China: Short Fiction for Chinese Study (Paperback)
This is a wonderful little book. I have used it as a language teaching text for many years. The selections are very short, originally written in Chinese for Chinese readers and thus neither watered-down nor designed to illustrate this or that dreary rule of linguistics. One can be really creative in teaching with this text.I have also found it useful in a workshop I teach on the art of translation. In addition to translating chapters of novels and short stories, we use these mini-selections as quick exercises in which everyone in the class translates exactly the same thing: then the students criticize each other's work. Since these little gems are fully and accurately annotated, we can thus concentrate our attention on the art of translation and not worry unduly about the meaning of the text.
