《良友》画报的文学趣味

On the Unique Literature Taste of Liangyou Pictorial

《良友》画报的文学价值不容忽视。翻译文学是《良友》重要的组成部分,包括外国民间文学、小诗、名著等,还有大量的"影戏小说"。这些作品的翻译不以信达雅为追求目标,而是对原文进行通俗化的改造。对于刊登的纯文学创作与纪实文学,《良友》常配有生动活泼的插图,对作品内涵进行视觉化的阐释。《良友》提供的文学舞台使外国文学名作和中国作家的优秀作品以更为通俗的形式与普通读者相见,寓启蒙于独特的文学趣味中。对于启蒙和救亡的时代主题,《良友》保持了平易化的风格。

Liangyou Pictorial has its unique value as a genre of literature, which should not be ignored. Translations of foreign literature constituted an important part of Liangyou Pictorial＇s contents. In addition to folklore, poems and classics, a large number of foreign movies and plays were also translated and adapted as short stories. The classical standards of good translation, such as faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance, didn＇t apply in such translations. Instead, they were dedicated to cater for the taste of general public. Liangyou Pictorial embraced various forms of literature and the role of image was brought into full play by using vivid illustrations to elaborate the theme. Liangyou Pictorial provided a bridge, which made foreign classics and Chinese masterpieces more accessible to the general public and, by its unique literature taste, promoted enlightenment.
