既上周航空專業翻譯公開課之後，本周又邀請到一位航空史翻譯的老師展開航空門類的第二次公開課。
排除一切虛名、名頭，回到翻譯本身，請先來欣賞一下本次航空翻譯高級譯匠的作品選段。
The three-cornered policy of the Guangdong Air Force included suppressing Communist insurgents, resisting foreign aggression and overthrowing dictatorship. In late September, the flying partner of the late Eddie Deed’s, Harry Claiborne, arrived to carry on the mission, and the base began training exercises to ready itself for 「Double Ten,」 the Anniversary of the Chinese Republic, so-called because the date fell on the tenth day of the tenth month.
Actually, 20 September was declared Guangdong Aviation Day and was decided for the airshow over the aerodrome at Shou Gou Ling. The date was chosen out of sentiment; it was the day that Yang Xianyi, now considered the Father of Chinese Aviation, had died in action. But due to 「inadequate preparation」, the fly-over was postponed to the Double Ten. When the day of celebrations finally arrived, the air was filled with the mighty hum of massed flying machines as the new Curtiss Hawks joined the squadrons』 other fighting aircraft—Vought, Armstrong-Whitworth 16s, Douglas and 9 locally built Yangchengs—in a mighty formation of forty-two aircraft. Also aloft were twelve trainer planes that, in a show of no-hard-feelings solidarity, had been sent from the now-allied province of Guangxi. As part of the celebration, proud Guangdong school children presented the base with a gun-equipped bomber they had purchased with money raised by subscription. （英譯中）
其時，廣東空軍的主要任務有三：一是配合蔣介石「剿共」，二為抵禦外侵，三乃推翻專制獨裁。1933年9月底，艾德•迪茲（Eddie Deeds）曾經的飛行夥伴哈利•克萊本（Harry Claiborne）抵達廣州，加入在廣東空軍基地執教的美國顧問團。此時，廣東空軍正在為即將到來的雙十國慶檢閱活動作最後的緊張訓練和準備。
廣東空軍原定於9月20日在瘦狗嶺天河機場舉行檢閱。這一天為「航空紀念日」，以紀念中國近代航空事業的先驅、被譽為「革命空軍之父」的楊仙逸，楊在1923年9月20日一次執行任務中壯烈犧牲，後大元帥府倡議每年9月20日為航空紀念日。但是由於「準備不足」的原因，擬定於這一天的檢閱活動被迫推遲到雙十國慶節。到了10月10日這一天，天河機場出動各機型共42架，場面宏大，轟動一時。當時參加編隊檢閱的飛機有柯蒂斯—霍克II、英制阿姆斯特朗—惠特渥茲AW-16（Armstrong-Whitworth AW-16）、美制沃特（Vought）及道格拉斯（Douglas）等從國外購進的各型戰鬥機，廣州東山飛機製造廠自製的9架「羊城」號偵察/輕轟炸機也參加了檢閱。另外，廣西空軍為助陣這次檢閱活動，也派出了12架教練機進行編隊飛行表演。作為慶祝活動的一部分，廣東學子向空軍捐贈飛機儀式也在當天舉行，學生們用從社會募集的善款購進了一架帶機槍裝置的轟炸機。
上世紀三十年代末，全球緊張局勢加劇，戰爭一觸即發，一些中國女子撕去社會強加給她們的性別標籤飛上藍天。其中一位名叫李霞卿，曾是紅極一時的電影明星，藝名李旦旦。李霞卿1912年出生於廣東的一個富貴之家，1933年巴黎的一個航展讓這位東方女子迷戀上了特技飛行表演。1933年，她入讀日內瓦科因特林飛行學校，駕虎蛾雙翼機學習飛行，1934年畢業，為日內瓦獲得飛行執照的首位女性。1935年11月，成為美國波音航空學校畢業的第一位女學員。1938-1945年間，李霞卿報效祖國，在北美、中南美洲開展慈善巡迴飛行表演。她因迷人的個性、執著的飛行夢想，更重要的是，強烈的愛國主義精神和使命感，而被譽為「中國第一位女飛行員」、「傳奇女飛行家」。（中譯英）
In the late 1930s, tension was developing throughout the world, it seemed as war would break out soon. Some Chinese women defied gender perceptions by becoming pilots. One famous female pilot was Li Xiaqing. Li was a renowned film actress of the time, popularly known as Li Dandan. Li Xiaqing was born in 1912 to wealth and privilege in Guangdong, and in 1933, she attended a Paris airshow and was deeply thrilled by the aerobatic performance. In 1933, Li took flying lessons in Tiger-Moth at Geneva’s Cointrin-Ecoled Aviation and became the first woman to earn a pilot’s license in Geneva. In November 1935, Li won her wings and became the first woman to graduate from the Boeing School of Aerobatics, Oakland, CA. During 1938-1945, Li devoted to her motherland conducting good-will flying missions throughout North, Central, and South America. Li was given the titles by the people as China’s First Woman of the Air, the Legendary Aviatrix because of her fascinating personality, her persistent dream of flying, and above all, her overwhelming sense of patriotism and her duty to the country.
除了航空史翻譯本身，本次公開課內容將更為宏大。會加入一些更有市場需求的航空公司市場類句段翻譯與老外修改文本對照。還會提到中國第一位女飛行家、廣東空軍史、航空精神和翻譯精神的相通之處等等讓人啟發的話題。
如果你剛剛了解或涉足航空交通領域的中英翻譯，想必聽完後會大大受益，而如果你對交通領域中英互譯非常熟悉，還可以獲得稿件推薦、優質項目訂單哦。
