中国古典诗词英文翻译之清明【唐】杜牧
All souls’ day(外国的万灵节)
All souls’ festive day The qingming festival
In the rainy season of spring
《清明》·杜牧
译文一： The mourning day
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the mourning day ;
语法方面
• 诗法（Poetic grammar）规则。例：第二人称代 词用ye 和thou，动词第三人称单数加（e）st或 （e）th。 • 省略：把诗句中次要的成分删略, 只保留主要的 成分。 • 倒装：是诗歌语言的一大特色,目的主要在于把最 重要的词放在诗中最突出的位置上加以强调。 • 跨行：英诗不论句而论行。当一行诗在句法和诗 意上不完整的时候, 就把剩余部分移到下行, 这 就叫跨行。
It drizzles thick and fast on the pure brightness day;
I travel with my heart lost in dismay .
“is there a public house somewhere, cowboy?” He points at apricot bloom village faraway.

《清明》原文与翻译
《清明》原文与翻译《清明》原文与翻译1清明唐朝杜牧清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有？牧童遥指杏花村。
《清明》译文江南清明时节细雨纷纷飘洒，路上羁旅行人个个落魄断魂。
询问当地之人何处买酒浇愁？牧童笑而不答指了指杏花深处的村庄。
《清明》注释清明：二十四节气之一，在阳历四月五日前后。
旧俗当天有扫墓、踏青、插柳等活动。
宫中以当天为秋千节，坤宁宫及各后宫都安置秋千，嫔妃做秋千之戏。
纷纷：形容多。
欲断魂：形容伤感极深，好像灵魂要与身体分开一样。
断魂：神情凄迷，烦闷不乐。
这两句是说，清明时候，阴雨连绵，飘飘洒洒下个不停；如此天气，如此节日，路上行人情绪低落，神魂散乱。
借问：请问。
杏花村：杏花深处的村庄。
今在安徽贵池秀山门外。
受此诗影响，后人多用“杏花村”作酒店名。
《清明》赏析这一天正是清生节，诗人杜牧是路上行走，遇上了下雨。
清生，虽然是柳绿花红、春光生媚的时节，可也是气候容易发生变化的期间，常常纷上“闹天气”。
远是梁代，就有人记载过：是清生前两天的寒食节，往往有“疾风甚雨”。
若是正纷是清生这天下雨，还有个专名叫作“泼火雨”。
诗人遇上的，正是这样一个日子。
诗人用“纷纷”两个字来形容那天的“泼火雨”，真是好极了。
“纷纷”，若是形容下雪，那该是大雪。
但是用来写雨，却是正相反，那种叫人感到“纷纷”的，绝不是大雨，而是细雨。
这种细雨，也正就是春雨的特色。
细雨纷纷，是那种“天街小雨润如酥”样的雨，它不同于夏天的倾盆暴雨，也和那种淅淅沥沥的秋雨绝不是一个味道。
这“雨纷纷”，正抓住了清生“泼火雨”的精神，下达了那种“做冷欺花，将烟困柳”的凄迷而又美丽的境界。
这“纷纷”是此自然毫无疑问的是形容那春雨的意境；可是它又不止是如此而已，它还有一层特殊的作用，那就是，它实际上还是形容着那位雨中行路者的心情。
且看下面一句：“路上行人欲断魂”。
“行人”，是出门是外的行旅之人，不是那些游春逛景的人。
那么什么是“断魂”呢？是诗歌里，“魂”指的多半是精神、情绪方面的事情。
古诗《清明》英文版
古诗《清明》英文版Title: "The Sorrow of Qingming" An English Rendering of a Classic Chinese Poem.In the stillness of early spring,。
Amidst the bloom of peonies and willows,。
Qingming arrives, a time of remembrance,。
A day of sorrow and reflection.The rain falls gently, wetting the ground,。
As tears moisten the hearts of those who mourn.The path before me is dim and muddy,。
Leading to the grave where my loved one lies.The willows along the river bank.Weep with me, their branches drooping low. Their green leaves tremble in the breeze,。
As if in sorrow for the loss they know.The peonies in the garden bloom bright,。
Yet their beauty cannot cheer my mood.For each petal that unfolds itself,。
I feel a pang of loss, a stab of loneliness. The incense burns, rising towards the sky,。
Carrying my prayers and my tears.The smoke mingles with the misty rain,。

The Clear and Bright Festival, also known as Tomb-sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the 4th or 5th of April every year. It is a time for people to pay respects to their ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning the tombstones, and making offerings of food and flowers.The festival has a long history, with its origins dating back over 2,500 years to the Zhou Dynasty. It is a time forpeople to remember and honor their ancestors, and to show gratitude for the sacrifices they made.One of the most well-known customs of the Clear and Bright Festival is the eating of "qingtuan," a special green rice ball made of glutinous rice and barley grass. The green color of the qingtuan represents the coming of spring, and it is believed to bring good luck and happiness.Another popular activity during the festival is flying kites. People of all ages gather in open spaces to fly colorful kites, which are said to carry away troubles and bring good luck in the coming year.During this time, many people also take the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of spring by going for walks in the countryside or having picnics in the park.

许先生曾说：‘三美’的重要性并不是鼎足三分的。在我看来,最重要的 是‘意美’,其次是‘音美’, 再其次是‘形美’。换句话说,押韵的‘音美’ 和整齐的‘形美’是必要条件,而‘意美’却既是必需条件,又是充分条件。因 此,在翻译唐诗的时候,我要求在传达原诗这种‘音美’和 ‘形美’的范围之 内,用‘深化’、‘等化’、‘浅化’ 的译法，尽可能传达原诗的‘意美’”。
