芝加哥10月25日“翻译中”读书沙龙：离散写作与多语叙事的下午对话
10月25日，芝加哥举行一场名为“翻译中”的读书沙龙，时间为下午2时至4时，地点在北威尔斯街535号的玛蒂尔达餐厅。沙龙以翻译小说、离散写作与多语叙事为主题，面向对“在另一种语言里成为另一个自己”这一体验有共鸣的读者，讨论身份、传承，以及在向他人解释自己时那些无法被完全翻译的部分。主办方说明，沙龙欢迎所有对离散文学感兴趣的参与者，活动以小型对谈形式进行，参与者可在餐桌边交流阅读体验，组织方也可能将活动资料用于未来的宣传。芝加哥是美国华人离散文学与多语创作的重要城市之一，不少华裔作家与译者在此生活创作，这场以翻译与离散为主题的沙龙为本地读者提供了一个用中文与英文双重视角谈论文学的午后场合，也呼应了芝加哥多元移民社区的文化氛围。
Chicago Reading Salon 'In Translation' on October 25: An Afternoon Conversation on Diaspora Writing and Multilingual Narrative
On October 25, Chicago held a reading salon called "In Translation" from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Matilda restaurant, 535 North Wells Street. With translated fiction, diaspora writing and multilingual narrative as its themes, the salon was aimed at readers who resonate with the experience of "becoming another self in another language," discussing identity, inheritance, and those parts of ourselves that cannot be fully translated when explaining who we are to others. The organizer said the salon welcomed everyone interested in diaspora literature, was conducted as a small-group conversation in which participants could exchange reading experiences around the table, and that the organizers might also use event materials in future promotion. Chicago is one of the important U.S. cities for Chinese diaspora literature and multilingual writing, home to many Chinese American writers and translators; this salon on translation and diaspora gave local readers an afternoon occasion to discuss literature from both Chinese and English perspectives, echoing the cultural atmosphere of Chicago's diverse immigrant communities.
