ABSTRACT

Máirtín Ó Cadhain's Cré na Cille (1949), generally praised as the best Irish-language novel of all time, has recently attracted considerable attention thanks to the publication of its two English translations in 2015 and 2016. In the course of the following year, German, Dutch and Czech versions of the novel appeared. This article briefly discusses the question of why this momentous novel waited so long to be translated and sets the context for the recent outburst of translation activity. Then it analyses some of the choices that lay before its Czech translator. With reference to both literary theory and literary history, this article describes the reasons for rendering the earthy talk of most of the graveyard's inhabitants in Common Czech, as opposed to Standard Czech or a more specific dialect. In addition, it comments on some of the more particular decisions made, often in comparison with the other available translations.

摘要

MáirtínÓCadhain的Créna Cille（1949年）被公认为有史以来最好的爱尔兰小说，由于其在2015年和2016年出版了两种英文译本，最近受到了广泛关注。在接下来的一年中，德语，荷兰语和捷克语版本小说的出现。本文简要讨论了为什么这部重要的小说等待这么长时间才能被翻译，并为近期翻译活动的爆发奠定了背景。然后，它分析了捷克翻译员面前的一些选择。既参考文学理论又参考文学历史，本文描述了在普通捷克人而非标准捷克语或更具体的方言中对大多数墓地居民进行泥土流言的原因。此外，它评论了一些更具体的决定，
