原文為《幽露》， 誤我錯誤：我走火入魔，往貝多芬方向走。正解應該是易卜生的群魔：日文幽霊（Gengangere, 1881年） Ghosts




我走火入魔，往貝多芬方向走，如下述。
正解應該是易卜生的群魔：日文
幽霊（Gengangere, 1881年）
Ghosts (Danish: Gengangere) is a play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It was written in 1881 and first staged in 1882 in Chicago, Illinois, in a production by a Danish company on tour.

---原文為《幽露》， 誤我錯誤：

第5號鋼琴三重奏曲D大調Op.7-1《幽露》

《幽露》

地5號鋼琴三重作D大調

Beethoven no 5 piano concerto op.7-1


德國作曲家貝多芬(Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827)在西元1808年為鋼琴、小提琴與大提琴所創作的《D大調第五號鋼琴三重奏「幽靈」Op.70-1 (Piano Trio No.5 "Geister" or "Ghost")》
最早的部份手稿，是源自於貝多芬所構思、同樣為D大調的作品，也就是根據莎士比亞(William Shakespeare, 1564-1616)的悲劇《馬克白(Macbeth)》所創作的同名音樂當中的女巫場景。

A Room on the Route By Godfrey Blunden. 莫斯科的寒夜 夏濟安譯 夏志清等補

此小說英文本在Google Books 售價171元。
也能免費取得。 https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.504271/2015.504271.A-Room_djvu.txt
書名、章名等，夏濟安先生都將它"化"為容易記憶的中文*；原書名意思為"；原書名意思為"官道上的一間房屋"。

*舉例
"You say trollybi/s. Yes. I have heard you speak of the 
tanka and the inachina. Just now you say telephona and airr- 
port. They are Russian words.” 

"Russian inventions,” I said, "like the Metro**.” 

".True,” Mitka said. "It is monumental.” "那是了不起的建築。"

** Metro 可能是從法與轉俄語

夏志清在譯文前補中西人名對照表，因為憑中文難記。
其實，地名也很重要：第一章開頭去"伊斯托拉夫***"，是Istra
Istra, Istrinsky District, Moscow Oblast, a town in Istrinsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia

Mitka was very proud of his English. During the day as we 
drove back to Moscow (we had been to Istra)
***伊斯特拉 （俄語：И́стра）是俄羅斯莫斯科州的一個城市，位於莫斯科以西約56公里處。2002年人口33,652人。

1781年建市，1930年前稱為Воскресе́нск。

Godfrey Blunden (1906–1996) was an Australian journalist and author.
Godfrey Blunden was born in Melbourne. While he was a journalist in Sydney in the early 1930s he write his first novel No More Reality a "small country town" novel, published in 1935 by Jonathan Cape. Even though the edition was only 500 copies it was considered important, due to praise from Norman Lindsay, Brian Penton in the Bulletin, and others in the Telegraph and elsewhere in the Sydney press.[1] Early Australian modernist poet Ronald McCuaig dedicated his 1938 book of poems Vaudeville to Blunden.[2]
Employed by the Sydney Daily Telegraph Blunden was sent to England in 1941 and covered the Battle of Britain, before being travelling in 1942 to the Soviet Union, where he covered fighting in the Stalingrad (Volgograd) and Kharkov (Kharkiv) fronts. His dispatches were also published in the London Evening Standard.[1] He was one of the few western reporters to witness and report on the Battle of Stalingrad, which ended with the surrender of German forces in the city in February 1943, as well as subsequent fighting around Kharkov and Rzhev.
After returning to England in 1944, he covered the battles in the Netherlands and Germany, while attached to the US Ninth Air Force and the US Ninth Army.
He met Maria Rothenberg-Craipeau in Paris a month after the liberation of the city and after the war they both left for the United States, where they got married and lived eleven years. He worked for Time for 14 years as a reporter in New York and later as a correspondent in Paris and received a Guggenheim Fellowship for fiction in 1953. He left Time-Life in 1965 to concentrate on novels and non-fiction. The Blundens settled in Paris and later in Vence, France.[3] He never returned to Australia and was a permanent expatriate and an exile, but he was a passionate Australian and never gave up his close bond with the country through exchanging letters and receiving visits from his extended family and later devoting most of his writing to Australian subjects and themes.
Blunden authored several novels, including A Room on the Route and The Time of the Assassins.[4] His novel Charco Harbour is a modernist historical fiction on Captain James Cook and his journey along the Australian coast in 1768. He died in Paris in 1996.[1]

PRAISE OF MY LADY inThe Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems, by William Morris


My lady seems of ivory
Forehead, straight nose, and cheeks that be
Hollow'd a little mournfully.
_Beata mea Domina!_
---
Her full lips being made to kiss,
Curl'd up and pensive each one is;
This makes me faint to stand and see.
_Beata mea Domina!_

陳正雄回顧展 1953~2017 (2018)。約11％的中國成年人患有2型糖尿病










陳正雄回顧展 1953~2017 (2018)
中譯者可能連Henry Moore 是誰都不太清楚.......






About 11% of Chinese adults now have type-2 diabetes, which is nearly the proportion in America and twice the level in Britain.⁠
⁠
It is becoming more common globally, but in recent years its prevalence has been growing fastest in China.⁠
⁠
Trying harder to prevent and treat it could save both lives and money https://econ.st/2PSnW8E

google翻譯有嚴重錯誤： 
現在，約11％的中國成年人患有2型糖尿病，這一比例幾乎是美國的兩倍(sic)，是英國的兩倍。
⁠
它在全球範圍內變得越來越普遍，但近年來，它的流行率在中國增長最快。
⁠
更加努力地預防和治療它可以挽救生命和金錢
