一篇关于派克“首席”的测评

在fpn上看到了一篇关于派克“首席”的评测，作者是Vicary，个人很喜欢，试转贴过来给大家分享：
   I picked up a few pens down at the Ohio Pen Show last month, and I'm getting around to posting some reviews. Yesterday I posted about the Classic Pens LM1 and CP8s. Today it's the new Parker Premier.
    在上个月的ohio州钢笔展上我收集了几支钢笔，并准备就此发表几篇评测。昨天我发表的是关于CP LM1和CP8s，今天我将测评这支新款的派克“首席”。     I first saw this pen over the summer at a pen shop in Edinburgh. It caught my eye right away, even grouped in with an assortment of other Parkers. The pen that caught my eye was the Custom model, black lacquered barrel with a silver plated cap featuring the tartan engraving from the Sonnet and earlier 75. It stood out as being bigger and bolder than the Sonnets on display, and certainly different from the Duofolds. I tried a few out and was impressed by the firm smooth nib and the solid hefty feel in the hand. I was put off by the pricing, though, figuring that when the pens were eventually introduced in the US they'd be available for less.
   在夏天，我在爱丁堡的一家钢笔店里第一次看到这个定制型号的钢笔。在各种各样的派克钢笔中我第一眼就关注到了它。这款笔经典的外形，黑漆笔杆，以及点缀着如同卓尔和早期75型号上那样的苏格兰格子纹饰的镀银笔帽一下子抓住了我的眼球。在外形上它比卓尔更大、更粗，显得更加醒目，同时又与duofold显然不同。我试写了一下，它的笔尖硬且顺滑，整支笔在手上牢固且偏重，这些都给我留下了很深的印象。但是因为价格，我放弃了购买，指望它被引进美国的时候能便宜点。

  I was right to hold off, as pricing in $US compared to ￡UK is way better. So back in October I added the Custom model to my collection. This pen is black with the silver tartan cap and silver trim. It features a metal section and a white (rhodium plated?) 18k nib. The pen is a cartridge/converter filler like all modern Parkers. Other finishes available are black lacquer with gold or silver tone trim, and an all metal model finished in black or gold with a sort of dashed pattern and a two tone nib.
   我于是推迟入手，因为美国的价格比英国更好。因此在10月份我回来后就把这款定制型号纳入了我的收藏当中。这支黑色的钢笔有着银格笔帽以及银质装饰。它有一段看起来是金属的，18k白色笔尖可能，是镀铑的。它的上墨器和墨水囊跟派克其他型号的一样。其他还可以选择以金色调或者银色掉装饰的黑漆，它们所有的金属笔握都被黑色或者金色所覆盖并用虚线来装饰，而且有两种色调的笔尖。
  The pens are simple but appealing in appearance. There's a definite family resemblence to the Parker 75 and the earlier Premier line, with gently tapering caps and barrels. The original Premier was sort of an oversized 75 with a simplified design. It was a bit ungainly, though, compared to the 75. Luckily, Parker has chosed the proportions of the 75 as a model for the new Premier. The newer Premier is bigger still, but the decorative elements are definitely derived from the 75 pens and not the original Premier. In particular the ridged end caps on the Premier are very similar to the 75. I had the Tartan Sonnet for a while, but no longer, so it's tough for me to say if the pattern on the cap is exactly like the Sonnet or if it's been upsized to work with the larger scale of the Premier. But in any case it's a nice pattern, and light reflects off of it in very interesting ways. There's a new clip too, a much more angular affair than the standard Parker clip. But it's a good fit for this pen, matching the broad, angular nature of the pen itself. The soft feather clip from the Sonnet would have been very out of place here.
  这支笔简洁但不简单。同75以及其他premier产品线上的产品一样，它们具有家族般的共性，即逐渐稍微变细的笔帽和笔杆。“首席”的原型是一种被简化设计了的、超大号版本的75。然而同75相比它有一点笨拙。很幸运，派克选择了75的设计比例来作为新的“首席”的基型。新的“首席”依然比75更大，但是装饰性要素确实从75中进行了演化而不像原型的那样。尤其是在“首席”笔帽末端的隆起的线条非常类似于75。我曾一度有一支格子纹的卓尔，但时间不长，所以很难说这样款式的笔帽是否完全类似于卓尔，或者是否是同样的设计在“首席”上进行的扩大规模的运用。但不管怎么说这是个很棒的设计，反射出来的光线看起来非常有趣。笔夹也是全新设计的，同派克传统的设计相比棱角要多得多。但是这样的设计非常适合这款笔，符合这款笔本身的坦荡、棱角分明的气质。卓尔上的那种柔和细腻的羽毛状笔夹用到这里反而不合适。
   The pen is usefully larger than the Sonnet as well. The Premier is 5 1/2" long when capped, 5" uncapped, and 6 3/8". At its widest point the cap is a bit more than 1/2" in diameter. So capped and posted it's virtually the same size as a Centennial Duofold. It's much larger than its 75 forebear. Perhaps it could be the 75 OS. It's very similar in size and heft to the Dupont Orpheos. Capped or uncapped the pen is very similar to the large sized Orpheo. In terms of width and length posted it's more like the oversize Orpheo. It feels a lot like an Orpheo as well. Both pens are solid, well finished, slightly cold in the hand, and emit a very satisfying click when the cap is closed. It seems like all Parkers are made in France now, so I guess it's fitting that the Premier should feel so much like thos French pens.
   这款笔同样比卓尔更大且合用。“首席”在合上笔帽时有5.5英寸长，无笔帽时则是5英寸长。笔帽最宽的地方直径大约是0.5英寸多点。所以在合上笔帽它几乎同国际版的duofold（小豆腐）的大小一样。它比它的先祖75要大多了，或许可以说它是75的超大版本。在大小上和重量上它都同都彭的Orpheo差不多。无论是否合上笔帽，它都同非常类似于大号的Orpheo。如果从笔的宽度和大小来看，它则更像oversize型号的Orpheo。感觉上它也同样有点像Orpheo。它们都很牢固，上漆都很棒，拿在手上都有点冰冷的感觉，而且在合上笔帽时都会发出让人非常舒服的细小声音。它看起来就跟法国在产的所有派克的型号一样，所以我猜想在书写感受上“首席”应该同样非常类似于那些在法国生产的钢笔。

  Like some of those Duponts, and unlike virtually every Parker I've ever seen, the Premier features a metal section. I would have preferred plastic for its warmth and grip, but the metal looks sharp and doesn't seem overly slippery to me. I have used the pen a fair bit since I bought it and I have to say I'm most impressed with the nib. It's very smooth, somewhat firm but with a soft touch on the paper, and near perfect inkflow. Mine is a medium, and writes a line I'd call true medium. It's a revelation compared to the Sonnet. It's much smoother than a Sonnet nib, and while it lacks some of the 'feel', it's a far more consistent writer with none of the skipping or hesitation that seems so common in the Sonnet. In fact my Premier wrote better out of the box than any modern Parker I've ever owned, including all of my Duofolds. Some of this might be due perhaps to a change in nib supplier. The feed appears to be the larger plastic Waterman feed used in the L'Etalon. I'm not sure if the nib is sourced from Waterman or what, though it doesn't share its shape or design with any other Parker nib I've seen. The angular arrow engraving is slick and a good match for the new clip. As far as the nib goes, one thing I could say about the Sonnet is that it didn't feel like any other nib. In that way it's sort of similar to the Ancora nib. But like the Ancora nib, the Sonnet nib is erratic at best as a writer. This new nib design may feel a relatively lifeless but the smooth, consistent nature is welcome.
     就如某些都彭钢笔一样，完全不同于我之前见过的派克产品，“首席”有一段很醒目的金属笔握。我更喜欢塑料笔握因为它更加温和和更容易握紧，但是“首席”的笔握看起来线条很分，明而且好像对我不是过分光滑难以把握。买了它之后我用了一小会儿，不得不说我被完全被笔尖的表现所打动了。它的笔尖非常光滑，某种程度上有点偏硬但是在接触纸张的时候却非常柔和，而且笔尖供墨近乎完美。我买的是M尖的，写出来的线条实在是非常合适，同卓尔相比它让我非常出乎意料。它的笔尖比卓尔的要顺滑的多。尽管好像缺少某些感觉，相对于出水不稳定现象如此普遍的卓尔，它确实是一个稳定得多的书写工具。事实上我的“首席”在开箱启用时的表现比任何我所拥有的现代派克都要好，包括我所有的duofold。部分原因也许确实是因为它改进了供墨系统。它的笔舌看起来就像waterman的“骏马”上所用的那种塑料waterman墨水囊的放大版本。我不确定它的笔尖设计是否源于waterman，尽管我从来没有见到过waterman和派克分享他们笔尖的外形以及设计。棱角分明的箭状雕饰非常灵巧，很好地搭配了新设计的笔夹。就笔尖而言，我对卓尔的评价就是它的感觉不同于任何其他的笔尖，这样说起来它有点类似于Ancora的笔尖。但同Ancora的笔尖一样，卓尔的笔尖在书写时总是不能稳定地保持最佳状态。新笔尖的设计也许在相当程度上给人以单调的感觉，但是它顺滑和稳定的品质确实很受人欢迎的。  
    Overall I'd have to say the Premier has impressed me. After having a bit of a new product dry spell, Parker has come up with a winner in my book. Like the Parker 100 from a few years back, the new pen borrows from the design language of Parker's past, but incorporates the modern as well. But I find the Premier a much more interesting piece than the 100. I like the size and weight of the pen, it's attractive without being over-the-top, and it's the best writing new Parker I've come across in a long time. Flaws? While the nib is a highlight, it's also a bit of a disappointment in that it is only available in fine and medium. Extra-fine and broad are available only by nib exchange- and the pen will have to go back to France for that! I'm not nuts about black pens, in particular black lacquer which always seems more susceptible to getting scuffed. Some might not like the c/c filler, but it's fine by me. Same with the metal section. I'd like to see a bigger variety of color and finish available, though I guess with time that's certainly a possibility. I could definitely see this pen as a successor to the 75, offering a wide array of finishes over a long production run. In the US I think it's well priced, too. The Custom model featured here retails for $300, so has a street price closer to $200. Compared to ￡220 it represents a much better value in the States than in the UK. I wouldn't just recommend this pen to Parker fans, but to Waterman and Dupont fans as well. In fact I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a simple, attractive, great writing pen.
  总之我得说“首席”给我留下了深刻的印象。在对这款新产品干划一段时间以后，派克在我的词典里成为了一个胜者。如同几年前的派克100一样，这款新笔借助了派克曾经的设计元素，但同时融入了现代理念。但是我对“首席”的兴趣远远超过了100.我喜欢这款笔的大小和重量，并非夸大其辞，它很有吸引力，它是长期以来派克新产品中最好的书写工具。至于缺点，就是当笔尖虽然被设计者重点诠释，但是仍有一点让人失望，因为这款笔只有f的和m的型号。ef尖和b尖则必须要更换笔尖，需要把钢笔寄回法国。我并不为黑色的钢笔而心生芥蒂，尤其是那种看起来很容易被磨损的黑色喷漆钢笔。有些人也许不喜欢卡式吸墨器，但我毫不介意。同样我也能接受金属笔握。我希望看到更多颜色来供选择，尽管随着时间经过这种情况实现的肯能性很大。我坚定地将这款钢笔视为75的继任者，并在长期生产过程中发展出一系列的漆色版本。不仅如此，我认为在美国它的定价也非常合适。这款定制版本在这里零售价为300美元，所以这个型号的市场行情大概接近200美元。同英国220英镑的售价相比，美国价格上更为合算。我不仅仅是向派克的爱好者们推荐这款笔，同样也向waterman和都彭的爱好者们推荐。事实上我再向任何寻找一款简洁的、具有吸引力的、非同寻常的书写工具的人们推荐这款笔。







本人英文不咋地，大家勉强看看吧～ 不对的地方请大家指出，thank you


ps：作者在跟贴里还有一段评测，今天来不及翻译了，大家自己看吧，照片我先转贴过来：

我定的首席明天就能到手啦，和评测里的这支一模一样。呵呵！

asp123

这个笔要上手，没有写，我认为是没有资格过多评价的。

在我的抽屉里，这是最好写的一支笔。

它重得一点都不讨厌。

顺滑但能控制。

顶一个！

敲钟人

笔握看上去又冷、又硬、又滑，好写吗？造型好像有点呆，比龙好点。难得实话实说一次，请别介意。

无我相

这笔真的挺不错的，曾上手试写，感觉非常好，准备等价格合适时入一支。

我爱威迪文

首席的造型蛮不错.

最后一段有趣。都彭好像没做过这么难看的笔。100也要顺眼很多。
