見解與修正 Vision and Revision


22	克勞德‧麥凱著，《非洲》、《哈林區舞女》、《處私刑》、《哈林區影子》、《美國》以及《假如我們都得死去》(2069-2073頁) Claude McKay, "Africa," "The Harlem Dancer," "The Lynching," "Harlem Shadows," America," and "If We Must Die."

(pages: 2082-95) 吉恩‧圖瑪著，《甘蔗》(pages: 2118-24) Jean Toomer, Cane. (pages: 2118-24) edge21網友補註：Cane這個英文字原意是甘蔗，也有「用甘蔗作成的手杖」的意思，Cane的內容中不但多次提到美國南方的甘蔗園，甘蔗也是很重要的隱喻。其一，甘蔗曾是南方農業經濟的來源之一，而黑奴是當時勞動力的來源，所以甘蔗和棉花一樣，都是美國奴隸制度的殘酷與黑奴的艱辛生活之象徵，而Cane的重點之一就是描繪黑奴制度影響下的美國黑人的生活，所以Cane翻譯成《甘蔗》較能傳達作品原意。其二，在作者Toomr的個人筆記與書信中，也多次提到書寫Cane的想法，是想把文本的結構安排成來自甘蔗般的有機體。Cane是由詩歌，短篇故事與戲劇組成的，作者原本的概念是把描寫南方的短篇故事與戲劇放在同一章，取名「甘蔗柄與合聲」，把詩歌集合在同一章,取名「綠葉與蜜糖之歌」，最後把描繪北方城市的短篇小說放在「在華盛頓的簇葉網絡」一章。雖然最後並沒有照上述的原定計畫編排，但出版的Cane仍然帶有一種有機體形式的結構，故譯名以植物名《甘蔗》較適合。蘭斯敦．休斯著，《黑人談河流》、《慈母教子》、《我也》、《穆拉托人》、《給黑人女孩之歌》、《黑色輪廓》、《到黑人區的訪客》、《商業劇院之札記》以及《民主》(pages: 2224-31) 編註：穆拉托人（mulatto，意指黑人與西班牙人混血的後裔） Langston Hughes, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "Mother to Son," "I, Too," "Mulatto," "Song for a Dark Girl," "Silhouette," "Visitors to the Black Belt," "Note on Commercial Theatre," and "Democracy."
