“好书坏译”

dfbb

Try to provide a Chinese translation for the following sentence.

A badly written book is only a blunder. A bad translation of a good book is a crime. (Gilbert Highet)

写坏书的要批评，翻译坏好书的要枪毙！ 纪二伯他。。黑他。

dfbb

neotsu兄的译文不错，只是这个“坏”字的位置读起来有点拗口。

neotsu兄太有才了。
可惜楼上两位都不肯当版主。不要然的话，外语版就会更好。
不过这样也好，经常来坐坐。
等我不当版主了，就抽出时间来好好向二位学习。希望n兄和D老师不要嫌学生太笨哦。

A badly written book is only a blunder. A bad translation of a good book is a crime. (Gilbert Highet)

译文：
把一本书写坏仅仅是个大错，但若把一本好书翻译失败却是一种犯罪! (吉尔伯特·海特)

dfbb

yuanxq兄的翻译比较准确，可惜该如何妥帖地翻译bad和badly呢？

How about this?
蹩脚的著者要批评，无能的译者要论罪。
