陋室铭唐·刘禹锡

山不在高,有仙则名。水不在深,有龙则灵。斯是陋室,惟吾德馨。苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青。谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁。可以调素琴,阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形。南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭。孔子云:“何陋之有?”

The Inscription of My Humble Room

——Liu Yuxi from Tang Dynasty

A mountain needn't be so high, just becomes famous as there is a immortal. A lake needn't be so deep, just becomes miraculous as there is a dragon. My room is humble, but becomes fragrant as I am living in it. The moss creeping onto the stairs turns them green. The color of the grass through the curtains turns the room blue. Erudites come in and talk together. And there is no unlearned man. I can enjoy playing my clean qin and reading buddhist scriptures. There is no the disturbance of nosy that disturb the ears and any burden of reading official documents. Neither of Zhuge Liang's Cottage in Nanyang and Yang Ziyun's Pavilion in Xishu are not compared with mine. Confucius said: "Is there any humble?"

译文的赏析:

我认为陋室铭的这篇英文翻译还是不错的,个人也做了一些修改。总体上还是很尊重原文的,不仅在选词、用句或者是在语言、韵律上,都与原文所表达的基本一致。已经达到了翻译古文的基本要求。但是翻译是一项没有最好,只有更好的工作,这篇译文还是有很多值得深究的地方,也还是存在些许的不足,还有待提高。

首先是选词。“陋室”就直接用了“humble room”。“Humble”本身就有粗陋,卑微的意思,既把陋室的简陋,粗劣表现出来了,也表达了作者本身一种谦逊的态度。“room”取到了房间,房室的意思。简洁明了,也把陋室的小,简单,体现的淋漓尽致。我认为这样的翻译还是比较合适的。再有就是很关键的“铭”的翻译。“Inscription”中就包涵了“铭文”的意义,所以不容易产生歧义。译者这样选择的还是比较合理的。接下来的仙人——immortal,龙——dragon的翻译选择,也是还可以接受的。“immortal”的意思就有“仙人或者不朽的人物”,这样就也把山的名不朽的意义也表达出来了。虽然“dragon”的选择有歧义,我认为“龙”的一项在东西方的文化风俗中是有差异的,但是我们不必迁就他人的文化习俗,可以将我们的文化通过翻译和交流传输给西方的读者,让他们也能更好的理解我们历史文化中的这些不同的意象。下文的“fragrant”,“moss”,“erudite”等的选用也是比较合适的,这些词不太容易产生歧义,都是很通俗的,读者也可以很容易得接受。包括“qin”的表达,因为这个“琴”和西方的琴是不一样的,既不是钢琴,也不是竖琴、小提琴什么的,所以就直接用了汉语拼音“qin”,这样可以在注释中解释这是中国古代的琴,包括形状,特性,音色等,都能解释出来的。诸葛亮的草庐用了“cottage”扬子云的亭用了“pavilion”这些词,也是比较合适的。“cottage”本身就有草屋的意思,还有

“pavilion”也就有阁、亭的意义。所以在选词上,译者还是基本尊重了原著的。

其次是译文在用句上也大体达到了要求。例如原文开头的两句“山不在高,有仙则名。水不在深,有龙则灵”本来就有这对偶而且很押韵,那么译文中就是“A mountain needn't be so high, just becomes famous as there is a immortal. A lake needn't be so deep, just becomes miraculous as there is a dragon.”同样也对仗得很工整。而且很简洁地把原著的意思就表达清楚了,没有多余的修饰和丝毫的夸张。还有描写环境的句子:“苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青”这句,表面上看来就是单纯的描写的,但实际上它表现了陋室周围的清净的环境,让人心灵宁静。译者用了“The moss creeping onto the stairs turns them green. The color of the grass through the curtains turns the room blue.”。说实话,乍看上去,很简单,很明了。如果是第一遍读此译文的人,可能就不能从中领会到原作者的深刻意图。这句话的译文就没能很深刻地表达原文的思想。但是如果理解了全文后,再来看这句话,也能感受到译者的用心了:用简洁的话语写出了简单清净的陋室的环境,与陋室的“陋”相映成趣,并且还因为这样的“简陋”更衬托出“德”的“馨”。这样的手法就不知道是译者的有心栽花还是无心插柳了。

再来看看译文的韵律,虽然简单,但是也恰到好处。每一句都很简洁,但是有能很恰好的对上。不仅是在意义上,还是在音律上,读起来也能感受到韵律,并且朗朗上口。这方面还是基本上符合原作的风格的。还有语言,译者在语言上的特殊就是平实无华。与原作一样用简洁的话语,但是却表达出了深刻的内涵。

英汉翻译评析(附参考译文)

英汉翻译讲解(1) I.英汉之间的差别: “对于中国学生最有用的帮助是让他认识英语和汉语的差别。”------吕叔湘 国内学者的共识是:汉语是综合性的,描写性的,而英语是分析性的,逻辑性的。在语言学上最重要的区别在于形合和意合的对比(contrast between hypotaxis and parataxis),英语重形合(形式上的融合),汉语重意合(意思或意境的融合)。在句法方面,有学者形象地把英汉比喻为以下几种: 1.雄孔雀/雄狮-----即英语习惯于把最着重的事物放在句首先说出来,开门见山,一语破的,然后再把各种标志一条条补述,一步步交代,慢条斯理,从容不迫,形成一条头短尾长地线性链,象头小尾大地雄孔雀。而汉语则相反,其线性序列的展开好比画龙点睛,先把外围的环境与衬托一一交代周到,最后点出话语的信息中心,水到渠成,给人以豁然开朗之感,形成雄狮型头大尾小地局式。 例如:I was all the more delighted when, as a result of the initiative of your Government it proved possible to reinstate the visit so quickly. 译文:由于贵国政府的提议,才得以这样快地重新实现访问。这使我感到特别高兴。 又如:The assertion that it was difficult, if not impossible, for a people to enjoy its basic rights unless it was able to determine freely its political status and to ensure freely its economic, social and cultural development was now scarcely (不足地,不充分地;一定不,绝不)contested (斗争;比赛). 译文:如果一个民族不能自由地决定其政治地位,不能自由地保证其经济、社会和文化的发展,要享受其基本权利,即使不是不可能,也是不容易的。这一论断几乎是无可置辩的了。 2.葡萄/竹竿-----即把英语句子比作“葡萄型”结构,葡萄主干很短,其上附结着丰硕的果实。而汉语句子则较短,一个短句接一个短句地往下叙述,逐步展开,内容像竹竿一样一节一节展开,常称为“竹竿型”结构。 She was beautiful, with long dark hair and brilliant green eyes.她长得很美,一头乌黑亮丽的长发,一双晶莹明亮的绿色眼睛。 She has smooth akin as pale and iridescent as the moon shining over a snow-covered landscape.她光滑的肌肤白里透红,宛如皎洁的月光洒在茫茫血地上。 3.多枝共干----英语句子中还有两个或几个动词共受一个状语修饰,共有一个主语或宾语,或者两个或几个状语共同修饰一个动词,两个或几个主语或宾语共一个动词,这就好比几根树枝长在同一根树干上,我们称为“多枝共干”式结构。 4.也有学者认为英语是一种弥漫着“男子气”的语言。逻辑性、组织性和理性是以英语为母语的民族的思维支撑点,从而就形成了英语的“阳刚之美”。而汉语自有汉语之美。汉语不注重对客观现实作符合逻辑的形式的描摹,不执着于形式结构的规范,中国人的思维支撑点似乎更具有抽象,深邃和疏放的取向,由此繁衍生出的是显赫的暗示和幽远的意境从而形成汉语的“阴柔之美”。汉语的魅力在于她的流散和疏放,系于她超凡的暗示力和意境性。所以汉语的形式机制很弱,主谓宾没有形式标定,主谓间关系松散,宾语无定格,无定位,主语的超句承接功能很强。 如果说汉语是一种“人治”语言,那么,英语则是一种“理性”语言。汉语能化逻辑为内在,英语则必须将逻辑外化,化作种种行合的标记,化作启转承合的纽带。英语语法规范森严,理性十足;英语形式逻辑缜密,滴水不漏。 5.汉语是一种意境语言,一种艺术语言。寥寥数词,就能出意境,出氛围,出画面。

2017考研英语翻译重难点解析:反译法

2017考研英语翻译重难点解析:反译法 一个问题有时可以从不同的角度来解释说明。有些句子英语是从正面说的,汉语可以从反面来解释。 1)否定译成肯定。 Eg: I never passed the theatre but I thought of his last performance.每一次经过那家剧院,我都会想起他的最后一次演出。 Eg: Hardly a month goes by without word of another survey revealing new depths of scientific illiteracy among U.S. citizens.美国公民科盲日益严重,这种调查报告几乎月月都有。(双重否定) 2)肯定译成否定。 Eg: Everyone has the right to be free from hunger.人人有不挨饿的权利。 Eg: This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.这种困境将是确定无疑的,因为能源的匮乏使农业无法以高能量消耗、投入少数农民就可能获得高产的美国耕种方式继续下去了。 Eg: The target is wrong,for in attacking the tests,critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.把标准化测试作为抨击目标是错误的,因为在抨击这类测试时,批评者不考虑其弊病来自人们对测试不甚了解或使用不当。 定语从句翻译法 1)合译法:把定语从句放在被修饰的词语之前,从而将英语复合句翻译成汉语单句。 Eg: Congress made public a survey of human rights in 105 countries that receive U.S. aid.国会公布了关于接受美国援助的105个国家的****情况调查报告。 2)分译法:根据定语从句的不同情况,我们可以将其翻译成并列分句、其它从句或独立句等。 Eg: Anyone who stops absorbing new knowledge is certain to lag behind.任何人如果停止吸取新知识,就肯定会落后。(译为条件状语从句) The strike would prevent the docking of ocean steamships which require assistance of tugboats.罢工会使远洋航船不能靠岸,因为他们需要拖船的帮助。(译成原因状语从句) A geological prospecting engineer who had made a spectral analysis of ores discovered a new open-cut coalmine.一位地质勘探工程师对光谱进行了分析之后,发现了新的露天煤矿。(译为时间状语结构) The delivery of public services has tended to be an area where we decorate an obsolete process with technology.公共服务的提供方式已趋陈旧,这正是我们必须采用技术加以装备的领域。(译为并列分句)

《陋室铭》原文翻译及赏析(人教版初二上册) 陋室铭(刘禹锡) 山不在高,有仙则名。水不在深,有龙则灵。斯是陋室,惟吾德馨。苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青。谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁。可以调素琴,阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形。南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭。孔子云:何陋之有? 译文 山不在于高低,有仙人(居住)就出名;水不在于深浅,有了蛟龙就有灵气。这是间简陋的屋子,只是我的品德高尚(就不感到简陋了)。苔藓的痕迹碧绿,长到台阶上,青葱的小草映入竹帘里。与我谈笑的都是博学的人,与我交往的没有知识浅薄的人。可以弹奏不加装饰的琴,阅读佛经。没有嘈杂的音乐扰乱双耳,没有官府公文使身体劳累。南阳有诸葛亮的草庐,西蜀有扬子云的亭子(它们都很简陋,但居住的人都很有名,所以就不感到简陋了)。孔子说:“(既然君子住在里面),又有什么简陋的呢?” 赏析 《陋室铭》即开篇以山水起兴,水可以不在深,只要有了仙龙就可以出名, 那么居处虽然简陋,却因主人的有“德”而“馨”,也就是说陋室因为有道德品质高尚的人存在当然也能出名,声名远播,刻金石以记之。山水的平凡因仙龙而生灵秀,那么陋室当然也可借道德品质高尚之士播洒芬芳。此种借力打力之技,实为绝妙,

也可谓作者匠心独具。特别是以仙龙点睛山水,构思奇妙。“斯是陋室,唯吾德馨”,由山水仙龙入题,作者笔锋一转,直接切入了主题,看引论铺下了基础。也点出了陋室不陋的原因,其原因是德馨二字。 在此点看出,作者写此随笔是经过反复思考的,绝对不是一时的灵感冲动。绝句可以是灵光乍现,而连接无暇却是平时的功底积累与反复推敲了。4—7句刁难下祭出此文,并将其刻于石上,具有很强烈的针锋相对的性质。从全文的写作手法来看,通篇以“比”的手法一气呵成,而不是烘托。那么“苔痕”和“谈笑”二句究竟在说什么呢?青苔在石阶上(照样)绿意盎然,野草在荒地里(依然)郁郁青青。言下之意是什么呢?我刘禹锡在哪里都不改本色,我所交往的都是有修养的饱学之士,没有(你们这些)无学之辈。作者以青苔和野草来比喻自己独立的人格,这是气节的写照,是不屈的宣言。“可以调素琴,阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形”。这两句同样延续了“比”的手法,只不过由类比变成了反向的对比。 如果说本文的1~3句是一种铺垫,那么4~7句则进入了真正的对抗。作者以诗一般优美的语言展示了自己的铮铮傲骨,同时,也对势利小人进行了无情的鞭挞。 “南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭”作者借诸葛亮的草庐,西蜀扬子云的玄亭作类比,引出自己的陋室,及人为自己的楷模,希望自己也能如同他们一样拥有高尚的德操,反映自己以古代贤人自

From my perspective, the electronic contact cannot replace face to face communication owing to the following factors. To begin with, over-reliance on electronic contact will damage the interpersonal relationship, for the cold machine never replaces a warm-hearted greeting face to face. For example, the aged parents would like their only son who works far away home to come back home more often rather than to talk with him on the internet occasionally.

刘禹锡 《陋室铭》赏析

刘禹锡《陋室铭》赏析 刘禹锡陋室铭赏析【陋室铭】山不在高,有仙则名。水不在深,有龙则灵。斯是陋室,惟吾德馨。苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青。谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁。可以调素琴,阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形。南阳诸葛庐,西蜀子云亭。孔子云:何陋之有?【译文】山不在于高矮,有仙人(居住)就著名了;水不在于深浅,有蛟龙(生存)就是灵异的水了。这是简陋的屋子,只是我(住屋的人)的品德高尚(就不感到简陋了)。苔藓给石阶铺上绿毯,芳草将帘内映得碧青。说说笑笑的是学问渊博者,来来往往的没有无学问的人。可以弹奏素朴的古琴,浏览珍贵的佛经。没有(嘈杂的)音乐扰乱耳朵,没有(成堆的)公文劳损身心。(它好比)南阳诸葛亮的草庐,西蜀扬子云的玄亭。孔子说:“(虽然是陋室,但只要君子住在里面)又有什么简陋的呢?”【赏析】(资料来源于网络,感谢分享)第一部分(1—3句): 《陋室铭》即开篇以山水起兴,引入正题,既显得出手不凡,也为以后的陋室歌颂功德埋下了伏笔。山可以不在高低,水可以不在深浅,只要有了仙龙就可以出名,那么居处虽然简陋,却因主人的有“德”而“馨”,也就是说陋室因为有道德品质高尚的人存在当然也能出名,声名远播,刻金石以记之。山水的平凡因仙龙而生灵秀,那么陋室

当然也可借道德品质高尚之士播洒芬芳。此种借力打力之技,实为绝妙,也可谓作者匠心独具。特别是以仙龙点睛山水,构思奇妙。“斯是陋室,唯吾德馨”,由山水仙龙入题,作者笔锋一转,直接切入了主题,看似有些突兀,但回头一看,却又浑然一体,因为上面的对比句恰好为这句的引论铺下了基础。也点出了陋室不陋的原因,其原因是德馨二字。在此点看出,作者写此随笔是经过反复思考的,绝对不是一时的灵感冲动。绝句可以是灵光乍现,而连接无暇却是平时的功底积累与反复推敲了。第二部分(4—7句): 这几句写陋室环境与丰富多彩的日常生活,“苔痕上阶绿,草色入帘青。谈笑有鸿儒,往来无白丁。可以调素琴,阅金经。无丝竹之乱耳,无案牍之劳形。”完全是作者对于道德品质高尚之士的生活总结。在前面几句的生花妙笔明了作者的志趣后,读者的思绪也进入了佳境,此时明理,读者更易接受作者的思想。他以苔痕上阶绿的淡雅之色,隐寓作者的恬淡之心,又马上以青色入帘青的生机盎然点明恬淡中充满生机的仙活生活状态,运用了借代的修辞手法。交朋识友,皆是同道高洁之士,抚琴研经,生活从容多滋味。远离嘈杂的音乐,远离伤神的公务,这种闲暇的生活实在让人羡慕。这种既像隐士,又存在尘世的生活方式,是道德高尚之士羡慕的,也是凡夫俗子们向往的。通过这几句的描写,我们看到了是一幅神仙的生活画卷,表达了陋室主人雅致澹泊的生活情趣。

英语美文欣赏带翻译

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them.

翻译 中英对译 英文散文赏析

原文 巷 柯灵译者-张培基 巷,是城市建筑艺术中一篇飘逸恬静的散文,一幅古雅冲淡的图画①。这种巷,常在江南的小城市中,有如古代的少女,躲在僻静的深闺,轻易不肯抛头露面②。你要在这种城市里住久了,和它真正成了莫逆,你才有机会看见她③,接触到她优娴贞静的风度。 人耐心静静走去,要老半天才走完。它又这么曲折, 什么时候,你向巷中踅去,都如宁静的黄昏,可以清晰地听到自己的 斑斑驳驳的苔痕,墙上挂着一串串苍翠欲滴 的藤萝,简直像古朴的屏风。春来 小巷的动人处就是它无比的悠闲。无论是谁, 你的心情就会如巷尾不波的古井,那是一种和平的静穆,而不是阴森和肃杀⑩。它闹中取静,别有天地,仍是人间。它可能是一条现代的乌衣巷(11),家家有自 己的一本哀乐帐, 使人忘忧。 译文 The Lane Ke Ling The lane, in terms of the art of urban architecture, is like a piece of prose of gentle gracefulness or a painting of classic elegance and simplicity①.

a small the lane, a maiden of ancient times hidden away in a secluded boudoir, is reluctant to make its appearance long time.③ The does not taste of the countryside at all. It is long and deep, so it will take you a long while to walk patiently and quietly through it from end to end. It is also so winding that it seems ⑤when you look far ahead, but if you keep walking until you take a turning, you’ll find it again lying endless and still more quiet. There is nothing but stillness there⑥. At any hour of day, you can even distinctly hear in the , which, moss-covered and hung with clusters of fresh green wisteria, look almost like screens of primitive simplicity. Inside the walls are residents’ gardens with In spring, beautiful peach and apricot blossoms atop the walls, ⑧waving their red sleeves, will sway hospitably to beckon the pedestrians. The charm of the lane lies in its absolute serenity. No matter who you are, if you in the lane for a while⑨, your mind will become as unruffled as the ancient well at the end of the lane. There you will a kind of peaceful calmness rather than gloomy sternness⑩. There reigns peace and quiet in the midst of noisy bustle. It is a world of its own on earth. It may be a modern (11)where each family, secluded behind closed doors, has its own covered-up story of (12)The all-pervading and all-purifying atmosphere of water-like placidness makes one forget all cares and worries.

英汉翻译评析

评:在最后一句“回眸一笑百媚生,六宫粉黛无颜色”中,译者将“百媚”翻 译为“ full of grace ” ,在此处应取“ eleganee and beauty of movement expression , a beautiful figure which she used in subtle movements unparalleled grace ”这一义,我认为此处强调的是“媚”这个字,这种美是无 人能比的,以至于六宫粉黛无颜色,所以在翻译之时,可以把这种媚翻译成魅 力,而且是“百媚”,此处“百”又不是真的“ hundred ”,而是一种“ end beauty, end of charm ”。 评:最后一句“六宫”翻译成six places 非常生硬,感觉没有体现中国古典文 化中六宫的含义。同时fairest face 也太过于字面化,没有什么美感。回眸直 接翻译为turning her head 也是过于直接,体现不出古典诗歌所要表达的美。 or of of 评:第二句杨家有女初长成中, womanhood just grow ,womanhood 略感多余,前面已经用 了 maiden ,意透露性别信息,无需再次强调女性身份,第三句中天生丽质难自弃,用 en dowed with n atural beauty, en dow 之嫌,一朝选在君王侧翻作 selected for the mon arch' 妃,回眸一笑百媚生,六宫粉黛无颜色有承接关系,觉得, 已有天生具有的意思,再用 natural 强调原生有语义赘余 s side,太过直译,可以意译为入宫为 that 放入前半句更好, that she turns her head, with a sweet and grace smile 。 评:诗歌标题“长恨歌”并非表达一种真正的恨意和痛苦, 的遗憾和悔恨。“ regret ”正好有“悔恨,遗憾”之意,“ 而是指唐明皇和杨贵妃无法长相厮守 everlasting ”正好表达岀了长久的意 味。许渊冲的翻译避免了直接翻译的直白, 又恰到好处地将两人无法长相厮守的遗憾表达得淋漓 尽致,十分贴切。 《长恨歌》翻译评析 长恨歌 许渊冲译 The Everlast ing Regret 汉皇重色思倾国,御宇多年求不得。 The beauty-lovi ng mon arch Ion ged year after year To find a beautiful lady without peer. 杨家有女初长成,养在深闺人未识。 A maide n of the Yan gs* to woma nhood just grow n. In inner chambers bred, to the world was unknown. 天生丽质难自弃,一朝选在君王侧。 En dowed with n atural beauty too hard to hide, One day she stood selected for the mon arch ' s side. 回眸一笑百媚生,六宫粉黛无颜色。 Turning her head, she smiled so sweet and full of grace That she outsh one in six palaces the fairest face.
