钱钟书《围城》英文标题哪个好？
1 Fortress Besieged
2. Besieged City
3. A Surrounded City
都事网上的版本
看一个词汇整理，在《围城》一项，参考翻译是 A Surrounded City，感觉奇怪，便上网查了一下，结果版本不少。 不知哪个更合适些？

my try
Door
最近在网上下载了以前由陈道明主演的《围城》连续剧来看。里面说到那具名言的时候，方鸿渐看着的就是一扇石头门。所以不知道用Door管不管用。
我认为带”城“的这个字会让人感觉的是太大。其实这里讲的是心中的”城“。

1 Fortress Besieged
2. Besieged City
3. A Surrounded City
这三个中，我个人认为Besieged City似乎要更好一些，第三个”surrounded”和"city"搭配似乎不常见。

其实看过这本小说的人知道，围城是描述青年们的一种心理。我也觉得意译好些。

Fortress Besieged
The title is taken from an old French proverb, "Marriage is like a fortress besieged: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out".

Fortress Besieged Author Qian Zhongshu
Country China
Language Chinese
Genre(s) Novel
Publisher
Publication date 1947
Media type Print (Hardback & Paperback)
ISBN 9901549507
Fortress Besieged (Simplified Chinese: 围城; Traditional Chinese: 圍城; Pinyin: wéi chéng) is a comedy of manners written by Qian Zhongshu, published in 1947, and is widely considered as one of the masterpieces of twentieth century Chinese literature. The novel is a humorous tale about middle-class Chinese society in the 1940s. It is also one of the most well-known contemporary Chinese novels in China, and was made into a popular television series in the early 1990s.
[edit] Origin and History
The book was begun while Qian Zhongshu and wife Yang Jiang were living in Shanghai during the Japanese occupation. According to Yang Jiang, the successful production of several of her plays inspired Qian to write a full length novel.
The novel was begun in 1944, and completed in 1946. Much of the characters and plot are taken from the experiences of Qian and Yang abroad and in China. For example, the opening scene at sea reflects their journey from France to China onboard the ship Athos II.
The title is based on a French proverb:
Marriage is like a fortress besieged: those who are outside want to get in, and those who are inside want to get out.
The novel is known for its acerbic asides, such as describing one young lady in the following way:
At first, they called her "truth" because "the truth is naked". But then, she's not actually completely naked. So they amended it to "partial-truth".
The novel was published in Shanghai in 1947. The second edition was published 1948. The third edition in 1949. After the Communist Revolution, the book was not printed again in mainland China until 1980. In the mean time, it was also banned in Taiwan because of its satire of the Nationalist government.
The novel has been translated into many languages. These include the Russian version which appeared in 1979, the American English version in 1979; and the German version in 1982.
