某翻译丛书的总序期待翻译摆脱直译-意译的“二元化”，倡导“随文阐释”（interpretside by side with the SL），并举济慈的一句话为例子:

The excellency of every art is itsintensity, capable of making all disagreeables evaporate from their being in closerelationship with beauty and truth.

老师的译文是：“任何一种艺术的高超之处就在于它具有强烈的感染力，因为它与美、与真紧密相连而使种种有失于怡人的成分烟消云散。”

   小济的话是1817年12月21日写给兄弟（G. and F. Keats）的。信中说他看了Benjiamin West（1738-1820）的画Death on the Pale horse（天启四骑士的故事，见启示录6:8）。画虽好（West那会儿近八十了），却没什么感觉强烈的东西（but there is nothing to be intense upon），具体说是“no women one feels mad to kiss, no face swelling into reality.”接着就是上面那句。

   译文将from的一串判给intensity，令我疑惑。一来距离太远，from似乎也没那样的用法；二来their既然复数，大概应该指disagreeables。诚然，every也常有用复数的例子，如“Every one has their own stories.”“And so everybody took their guitars and songs, their poetry and perambulators, their high-bouncers anddogs, and went peacefully home.”（更多讨论可参见Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage）但以from引领的部分作为capable of making的原因，总感觉不那么自然。evaporate from却是自然的搭配：让一切不和谐东西从美与真的关联中蒸发出去。

   小济的老一辈诗人Friedrich Stolberg曾说过，The Greek artists are generally careful to keep the disagreeable out ofsight.（见他的Travels through Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Sicily），可以作为小济意思的补充。
