原文：
鴻漸知道這些話雖然對自己說，而主要是記載在日記和回憶錄里給天下后世看方遯翁怎樣教子以義方的。（錢鐘書 - 《圍城》 ）
翻譯關(guān)鍵詞：雖然，話，in accordance with與according to，義方
譯文：
Hung-chien knew that while these remarks were said to him, they were intended primarily to be recorded in a diary or in memoirs, so later generations could see how well Fang Tun-weng had brought up his son in accordance with truth and righteousness. (美 Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao <譯> –Fortress Besieged)
翻譯筆記：
雖然
同學們表達“雖然”時似乎都較喜歡用though和although，現(xiàn)在我們再多掌握一個while。在句子中把while用作although的等價詞是容許的，只要不在意義上造成含糊或荒謬。例如：
While I admire his energy, I wish it were employed in a better cause.
我欽佩他的精力，然而我愿他把精力用在更好的事業(yè)上。
話（兒）
作名詞用時，有幾個常用的單詞可以表達“話”的意思，如word; talk; remark，譯文中用了remark，該詞常用來表示“有評論性質(zhì)的話”。除了文中的用法，remark后面還常常可以接that引導的從句。例如：
He closed the discussion with the remark that "he who plays with fire gets burnt".
他以“玩火者必自焚”這么一句話結(jié)束了討論。
in accordance with與according to
“教子以義方”用的“以”即“依照，依據(jù)”，而in accordance with與according to都能用來表達該意，究竟什么時候用哪個好呢？通常，說“依照法律”、“依照章程”、“依照規(guī)則、規(guī)范”、“依照慣例”等，用in accordance with語氣重些，用according to往往語氣輕些。例如：
The proprietor or operator of port facilities shall provide safe means for mooring, departing and changing to another berth, all in accordance with/according to the designed specifications of the port.
港口設(shè)施的業(yè)主或經(jīng)營者應(yīng)當按照港口設(shè)計規(guī)范，提供安全靠岸、離岸、移動泊位的條件。
說“依據(jù)某書說”、“依據(jù)某人說”、“依據(jù)某報告”、“依據(jù)某學說”等，只可用according to，不可用in accordance with。例如：
The players are speaking and moving according to the director's instructions.
演員們正按照導演的指示說臺詞，做動作。
說“依據(jù)……而不同，取決于”，只可用according to。如：
We pay him according to his contribution.
我們根據(jù)他的貢獻付酬。
義方
“義方”即“行事應(yīng)該遵守的規(guī)范和道理，做人的正道”，也可直接譯為right way of conduct，但稍嫌平淡了，所以可以采取像譯文中的譯法譯為truth and righteousness。
