Agatha Christie wrote far above her usual good level in a group of twelve short stories about Hercule Poirot, called The Labours of Hercules. By adjusting the classical themes to make reasonable modern parallels, she was able to lift the detective form to extraordinary intensity. Such was, also, the method of James Joyce in Dubliners and Ulysses, when the precise classical parallels created the true hybrid energy. Baudelaire, said Mr. Eliot, "taught us how to raise the imagery of common life to first intensity." It is done, not by any direct heave-ho of poetic strength, but by a simple adjustment of situations from one culture in hybrid form with those of mother. It is precisely in this way that during wars and migrations new cultural mix is the norm of ordinary daily life. Operations Research programs the hybrid principle as a technique of creative discovery.

這本書許多專名都沒附原文，姓名只翻譯姓，所以不容易懂。
中英名詞索引有點"笑話"。
有的〔心理〕名詞如" 閾下" (subliminal )等，似應解釋。

"Adventures do occur, but not punctually."
--from "A Passage to India" (1924)
--from "A Passage to India" (1924)
Britain’s three-hundred-year relationship with the Indian subcontinent produced much fiction of interest but only one indisputable masterpiece: E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India, published in 1924, at the height of the Indian independence movement. Centering on an ambiguous incident between a young Englishwoman of uncertain stability and an Indian doctor eager to know his conquerors better, Forster’s book explores, with unexampled profundity, both the historical chasm between races and the eternal one between individuals struggling to ease their isolation and make sense of their humanity.
----麥氏英文，不太好懂，容區區推敲，
If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours is the century of the psychiatrist's couch. As extension of man the chair is a specialist ablation of the posterior, a sort of ablative absolute of backside, whereas the couch extends the integral being. The psychiatrist employs the couch, since it removes the temptation to express private points of view and obviates the need to rationalize events.
小讀者：做為人的延伸，座椅是後電臀的專工奪格化，算是臀部的一種獨立奪格，躺椅則延伸了整體存在。
妙的是注解，將拉丁文文法轉為英文的例子，

第3章末幾段問題頗多：
Centuries later, when further explosion and expansion had exhausted the powers of private action, corporate enterprise invented the idea of Public Debt, making the individual privately accountable for group action.
millionaires like Ruskin and Morris 翻譯錯誤 toiled like navvies for esthetic reasons
A navvy is a labourer employed in building a road or railway. The word is a 19th-century shortening of navigator (late 16th century), which in the 18th century was a labourer employed in the rapidly expanding enterprise of canal construction (in parts of England a canal is known as a navigation).

Charge of the Light Brigade
Gilbert was born in London on 18 November 1836. His father, William, was a naval surgeon who later wrote novels and short stories, some of which included illustrations by his son.[9] In 1861, to supplement his income, the younger Gilbert began writing illustrated stories, poems and articles of his own, many of which would later be mined as inspiration for his plays and operas, particularly Gilbert's series of illustrated poems, the Bab Ballads.[10]
In the Bab Ballads and his early plays, Gilbert developed a unique "topsy-turvy" style in which humour was derived by setting up a ridiculous premise and working out its logical consequences, however absurd. Director and playwright Mike Leigh described the "Gilbertian" style as follows:

由於有PDF檔案，我們可以研究鄭明萱譯3處MOMENT OF TRUTH，了解她可能不知道此海明威譯自西班牙文的片語：
In Forster's novel the
moment of truth and dislocation from the typographic trance of the
West comes in the Marabar Caves. Adela Quested's reasoning
powers cannot cope with the total inclusive field of resonance that is
India. After the Caves:
Lite went on as usual, but had no consequences, that is
to say, sounds did not echo nor thought develop.
Everything seemed cut off at its root and therefore
infected with illusion."
真理的一刻，以及忽然跳脫印刷術所造成的西方恍惚狀態的一刻.....
第5章末段
The hybrid or the meeting of two media is a moment of truth and
revelation from which new form is born. For the parallel between two
media holds us on the frontiers between forms that snap us out of
the Narcissus-narcosis. The moment of the meeting of media is a
moment of freedom and release from the ordinary trance and
numbness imposed by them on our senses.
乃是真理與啟示的一刻，從中誕生了新的形式。
第29章一段
The film pushed this mechanism to the utmost mechanical verge
and beyond, into a surrealism of dreams that money can buy.
Nothing is more congenial to the film form than this pathos of
superabundance and power that is the dower of a puppet for whom
they can never be real. This is the key to The Great Gatsby that
reaches its moment of truth when Daisy breaks down in
contemplating Gatsby's superb collection of shirts. Daisy and Gatsby
live in a tinsel world that is both corrupted by power, yet innocently
pastoral in its dreaming
其中的真理關鍵即在於此。

有些很玄，譬如說，《認識媒體》第5篇：
HYBRID ENERGY
Les Liaisons Dangereuses 混種而生的能量：危險關係
快結束時，冒出一句Operations Research programs the hybrid principle as a technique of creative discovery. 原作者對"operations research"的理解很獨特，我們必須先了解3主題： O.R.、 hybrid principle和 a technique of creative discovery，而鄭明萱將programs翻譯成"設計成"。
Agatha Christie wrote far above her usual good level in a group of twelve short stories about Hercule Poirot, called The Labours of Hercules. By adjusting the classical themes to make reasonable modern parallels, she was able to lift the detective form to extraordinary intensity. Such was, also, the method of James Joyce in Dubliners and Ulysses, when the precise classical parallels created the true hybrid energy. Baudelaire, said Mr. Eliot, "taught us how to raise the imagery of common life to first intensity." It is done, not by any direct heave-ho of poetic strength, but by a simple adjustment of situations from one culture in hybrid form with those of mother. It is precisely in this way that during wars and migrations new cultural mix is the norm of ordinary daily life. Operations Research programs the hybrid principle as a technique of creative discovery.
