望远镜的购买:选择的的智慧
*标题:“选择的智慧"。--[U][I]其实,COLLECTED在这里,是点滴累积的意思,那个猴哥写此文,要和大家分享的,也就是他玩镜多年所积累的一些经验之谈[/I]。[/U]
by Holger Merlitz
Over a period of 2 years I was scanning the binoculars markets. During that time, I had purchased close to 50 instruments, the majority of them as second hand items, many of them sold again. The more interesting items had to undergo a careful test procedure, leading to those 14 comparative test reports found somewhere else on my web-site. Also, a few binoculars were provided exclusively for testing by vendors who were keen on seeing their products being compared in my reviews. With their support I was able to extend the performance spectrum of my test-candidates towards the high-end region.
* "我对望远镜市场的关注已经超过两年了。"--[U][I]原文要表达的意思是在一段2年多的时间里,那个猴哥一直不停地在望远镜市场上搜刮。他已经不搜刮了。所以后面他说“在那段时间里”[/I]。[/U]
在这段时间里,我买了接近50个镜子,大部分都是二手的,
*“有些还被转卖过多次。”--[U][I]不是这个意思。是说猴哥买的那些镜子,很多后来又被他卖掉了[/I]。[/U]
* "想比较于一手交钱一手交货的最后交易,更有意思的是买镜前必须经历的仔细检查。"--[U]这句话显然是误读了。原文的意思是对于那些比较能引起兴趣的镜子,猴哥买来之后都要作一番评测。然后接你下面翻译的那句就对了。[/U][I][/I]
因此也就有了我网页上的14篇的比较测试报告。
* "当然,有一些送检的镜子是由卖家提供的,"--[U]是厂商。他们提供镜子给猴哥,纯粹是为了评测的目的,不是检测。[/U][I][/I]
他们非常想知道这些镜子在我这儿得到的评价。托他们的福,我也就因此通过送来参检的高端镜子拓宽了我的用镜体验。

The selection procedure for my survey was naturally biased to rather easily available items on the European and especially on the German market. If one compares the offerings on Ebay Germany with Ebay US, it immediately becomes clear that the subset of binoculars frequently found on both of them makes less than 50% of the total. It doesn't need much of investigation to realize that my selection contains an un-proportional high number of Porro type binoculars, many of them being military instruments and quite a few of them being of East European origin. This reflects my personal focus of interest, of course, however - just in parts. Actually, this is also a natural result of a selection procedure, driven by the desire to optimize the price-to-performance ratio. In the following remarks I shall frequently come back to the most essential question of every binoculars user: How could I find the maximum performance for my needs and for the money I am willing to spend?
我挑镜的选择过程是基本上基于欧洲市场上那些容易找到的镜子的,尤其是在德国市场上的。如果有人比较一下Ebay德国和美国,它就会发现在两个市场上同时都能找到的镜子不超过总数的50%。很明显在我收集的镜子中保罗镜占了很大的比例,其中很多都是军镜并且有几个还是东欧血统的军镜。这表明了我的个人嗜好,当然只是一部分的嗜好。实际上这也是选择的自然结果,是由性价比决定的。在下面的评论中,我将经常提到对每个镜友在购镜时的最基本问题:是光学至上,还是量力而为?
*[U]这里猴哥解释了一下他的镜子都是从哪搜刮来的。由于EBAY德国和EBAY美国上面经常出现的望远镜,还占不到市场总数的50%,所以,猴哥承认他选镜有一定的偏颇性。或者说,他测评的镜子,代表性不够广泛。这也和他个人对某类镜的喜好有关。译文尚可润色。[/U][I][/I]
*是光学至上,还是量力而为?--[U]猴哥要回答的,可不是这个问题。他没有任何光学至上的意思。他要回答的是:对于望远镜的购买者,在确定了用途和愿意支付的金额之后,如何找到性能最优的那款镜子。猴哥是认性价比的。[/U][I][/I]
说明:翻阅精华贴学习,见此文。碰巧那日在老刘处碰到LZ,小伙子非常热情,不错,侃望远镜让我直晕。见其译文,特说说自己的看法,供参考。这篇译文是一年前的作品了,LZ学习进步,当有长足长进。说得对与不对,一笑而过。
全文太长,如认为有用处,我们再一起切磋。 |
