返工的次数愈来愈多，时间也花得愈来愈多，结果却总是不满意。

例如句子的转弯抹角太生硬，色彩单调，说理强而描绘弱，处处都和我性格的缺陷与偏差有关。

自然，我并不因此灰心，照样“知其不可为而为之”，不过要心情愉快也很难了。

2工作有成绩才是最大的快乐：

这一点你我都一样。

另外有一点是肯定的，就是西方人的思想方式同我们距离太大了。

不做翻译工作的人恐怕不会体会到这么深切。

他们刻画心理和描写感情的时候，有些曲折和细腻的地方，复杂繁琐，简直与我们格格不入。

我们对人生琐事往往有许多是人为不值一提而省略，有许多只是罗列事实而不加分析的；如果要写情就用诗人的态度来写：

西方作家却多半用科学家的态度，历史学家的态度（特别巴尔扎克），像解剖昆虫一半。

译的人固然懂得了，也感觉到它的特色，妙处，可是要叫思想方式完全不一样的读者领会就难了。

思想方式反映整个的人生观，宇宙观，和几千年文化的发展，怎能一下子就能和另一民族的思想沟通呢？

你很幸运，音乐不像语言的局限那么大，你还是用音符表达前人的音符，不是用另一种语言文字，另一种逻辑。
