This is the first time into the Chinese world Llosa. The novel eye-opener to Yincheng Dong. "I first met the wording of such a unique, singular chapter is a coherent autobiographical love story, double the number in the voluminous chapter to write a single short story, the overall structure is closely linked, neither a sense of fragmentation, but also often a in Yibiao outside.

- "Fortunately, Llosa ran for president failed"
"Llosa's work is so crystal clear as the morning dew attractive, like the gurgling water is so attractive. Although it is fiction, but as beautiful prose and lyric poetry." Read the last 30 years, the Yin Chengdong summarized Road Llosa . However, with poetic language Llosa is not usually the definition of "pure literature writer." His experience can not be compared with the general legendary writer, and his sense of child "WTO passion" are often attracted controversy.
"This is about his childhood experiences." Yin Chengdong introduced Llosa relationship with his father has been very tense. Llosa 28 March 1936 the city was born in Peru 鲁亚雷基帕 grandparents, still in the womb in his father ran away from home. Waiting for him to grow up to 10 years old, his father suddenly appeared. Mother and maternal grandfather's family Llosa doting on his father's brutal and stark contrast. To some extent, the father forced him onto the literary road.

After the election defeat, most of the time Llosa lived in Europe and America. "If Llosa in the 1990 presidential election, the world will certainly reduce an outstanding writer. But may not change the reality in Peru. The reason is simple, indulge in the literary imagination Llosa too far away from the harsh reality of Peru . with his own memoir, "water fish" in the word is: 'I know the people of Peru lower, almost from scratch.' "Yin Chengdong that Llosa contact with politicians, I feel that he just used his pen to criticize, influence social longer enough to hope that intervention from a higher height to the community. "He said after his defeat in 1990, somewhat rely under all difficulties, went to Spain to go into the Spanish nationality. This is a great influence on him, he was in the last century 70's, 80's, to write things that are big themes, but After his defeat, not to write something more major theme. In 2000, he began a major theme of his writing, he may feel that the more the heart, small works, not his strong point. as reviews say , he thinks writers should 'speak the truth, ask questions'. some of the natural character and want to change it is very difficult. "

Reporter Wang Xi
Q: Llosa's works, there is no difficulty in translating the points?
A: Yes. Like "Aunt Leah and writer Hu" and "bad girl prank," has a strong autobiographical nature, relatively easy to translate, but "green house" like structure by cutting the works of writing are more difficult to translation, and works in where many different ideologies, be careful pondering.
Q: Can you evaluate the development of literary translation now?
A: There is a saying line is now the translation of Chinese power and not translated power, that we are now a lot of people when the translation, but the translation is very difficult to find good people. Why? I think the one hand, the relevant departments is not enough emphasis on the translation, and believe that translation is a very easy thing, which from the translation to reflect the market price, 60 yuan / thousands of words, give me the royalties Yilin is the standard. They may not know, in order to search a name, a place name, translators often have to spend several hours; there is a view that people will understand a foreign language translation, this is not right, now many Chinese language proficiency of translators have failed, the "XX XX years in listed companies," translated into "XX XX years of the Company to market" jokes abound, so I can improve the quality of the translation start from the translation criticism. But think about it, criticism is not much good, the price is so low already, and then no one did more criticism, literary translation in many small languages have emerged out of stock situations, English French, although the situation is better, but in the long run can not be optimistic.
