張谷若先生翻譯很用心，不過也有些可以討論的。譬如說，
這是老式翻譯本之印刷方式，即，整本書（含譯注）絕少附原文，
第四節：Jude then dropped behind, waited a few minutes to recover breath, and went home with a consciousness of having struck a blow for Christminster. 對基督寺已經開了第一砲的感覺—這是直譯，或許是「有點譜了！」
我再引第一部「在瑪麗格倫」（AT MARYGREEN）第一節最後處，
"I shan't forget you, Jude," he said, smiling, as the cart moved off. "Be a good boy, remember; and be kind to animals and birds, and read all you can. And if ever you come to Christminster remember you hunt me out for old acquaintance' sake."
The cart creaked across the green, and disappeared round the corner by the rectory-house. The boy returned to thedraw-well at the edge of the greensward, where he had left his buckets when he went to help his patron and teacher in the loading.
「你要是萬一有上基督寺*的那一天，那你看在老朋友的面上，
大車噶吱噶吱地從青草地**上走過去，到了教區長*的住宅那兒，
*表示前文都有譯注。
**英國村莊裡面或旁邊，都有一片青草的空地，屬於公眾，
HC小評：「大車噶吱噶吱地從青草地……」「噶吱噶吱地」很妙，
THE schoolmaster was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him thesmall white tilted cart 帶白蓬的小車and horse to carry his goods to the city of his destination, about twenty miles off, such a vehicle proving of quite sufficient size for the departing teacher's effects. For the schoolhouse had been partly furnished by the managers, and the only cumbersome article possessed by the master, in addition to thepacking-case of books, was

前幾天，看見書店賣大陸翻印的Jude the Obscure （The world's classics. Edited by Patricia Ingham. (Oxford, New York: Oxford University Press, 1985) ），就買了下來，因為它有手頭Thomas Hardy『無名的裘德』（Jude The Obscure，張谷若譯，北京人民文學，2004）
我讀些小說，發現張谷若譯本有些了不起的地方，
用譯注說明暫時找不到出處—這到現在還沒解。
She was not there now, and `the embroidery of imagination upon the stuff of nature' so depicted her past presence that a void was in his heart which nothing could fill. A pollard willow stood close to the place, and that willow was different ... Chapter Chapter 7 of Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
文中`the embroidery of imagination upon the stuff of nature' 這小段，哈代用引號，翻譯成「

Subject: Embroidery of imagination
In Jude the Obscure, Thomas Hardy quotes the phrase, "embroidery of imagination
upon the stuff of nature". Does anyone know the source of this phrase?

上句中我學新字：發現pollard是英法同義（

Thomas Hardy 的家族提過caul這回事，他將它寫在Return of the Native (Book iii chapter 7)。我抄張谷若先生的譯本供參考：
Fairway, Sam, and another placed their shillings on the table, and the man turned to Christian.
"No, sir," said Christian, drawing back, with a quick gaze of misgiving. "I am only a poor chap come to look on, an it please ye, sir. I don't so much as know how you do it. If so be I was sure of getting it I would put down the shilling; but I couldn't otherwise."
"I think you might almost be sure," said the pedlar. "In fact, now I look into your face, even if I can't say you are sure to win, I can say that I never saw anything look more like winning in my life."
"You'll anyhow have the same chance as the rest of us," said Sam.
"And the extra luck of being the last comer," said another. 「不但有同樣的機會，還格外有最後來的好運氣那，」【後來的好運氣：英國諺語：「最後的有運氣，髒土裡撿便士。」
hc案：還找不到原文；義大利說法：The last comer shuts the door. Source: (Italian). The later comer is ill lodged.Source: (Italian).】。
"And I was born wi' a caul, and perhaps can be no more ruined than drowned?" Christian added, beginning to give way.「俺是.戴著白帽子下生的，水裡淹不死俺，大約別的法子也毀不了俺吧？」克瑞開始心活起來，補充了一句話。

"The Man He Killed" by Thomas Hardy
Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
I shot him dead because--
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like--just as I--
Was out of work--had sold his traps--
No other reason why.
Off-hand like--just as I--
Was out of work--had sold his traps--
No other reason why.
Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.
