吴劳

Wu Lao: public information is limited, and the name appears chiefly as the translator credited in Chinese editions of foreign literary works. Nine related titles are held in the collection, most connected with Hemingway, including multiple editions of The Old Man and the Sea (such as the Classic Translation edition, an illustrated edition, a Chinese-English bilingual edition, and the version included in the Hemingway collected works), as well as The Torrents of Spring and The Old Man and the Sea, the illustrated 18-volume Hemingway centenary collection, and The Garden of Eden. These translations are generally classified under foreign literature and world classics, indicating that the translating work centers on English-language literary classics, especially Hemingway's writings. The translations generally serve the plain, forceful narrative style of the originals and offer Chinese readers accessible texts for approaching Hemingway. Since dates of birth and death, nationality, and education are unknown, no inferences are made here; the note is limited to the character of the available works.
