There is so much vernacular literature! Elegant words are more beautiful than plain words. Every time I read ancient historical texts, I have constant orgasms in my head. Some people say that classical Chinese cannot express delicate emotions, so vernacular is better for translation. Isn't this nonsense?
In the past fifty years, classical Chinese has been almost extinct. If things continue like this, without the injection of living water, classical Chinese will perish.
A certain untalented person wanted to translate Western classics into classical Chinese, but he predicted that there would be only a few readers. However, this matter was not just for today and those who came before, but for the ancients. A pot of tea, a fan, reciting in the shade of tung trees, and then burning them after reading. Isn't this a joy for the people of this country?
The current trial translation of "Homer's Epic - The Odyssey" is "Homer's Myth: The Odyssey", which is the first full Chinese translation and may be of considerable value.
