红楼梦正规翻译白话文阅读
上古时,女娲娘娘炼石补天,采来三万六千五百零一块顽石,只剩下一块未用,扔在大荒山青埂峰下。
这块顽石经过娘娘的锻炼,有了灵性,能变大变小,会自来自去。
这天,一个和尚与一个道士来到青埂峰下,见这块石头变得洁净晶莹,只有折扇的扇坠般大小。
和尚把他托在手上,说:“在你身上刻上几个字,让人们见了就知道你是个宝贝,把你带到繁荣昌盛的国家、读书识礼的豪门望族、花柳繁华富贵温柔的地方走一趟。
”石头高兴万分,问:“不知刻什么字?带到哪儿?”和尚笑着说:“你先别问。
将来自然明白。
”说完,他把石头放在袖中,与道士飘然离去。
又不知过了多少万年,有个空空道人路过大荒山无稽崖青埂峰下,见到一块巨石,上面刻着许多字,就从头到尾看了一遍。
原来石上刻的是他被茫茫大士携入红尘,投胎人世间的一番经历。
上面什么事情都有,只是没有朝代年月,后面还有一首诗:无才可去补苍天,枉入红尘若许年。
此系身前身后事,倩谁记去作奇传?空空道人就把石中文字抄下来,定名为《石头记》。
他因受了石上故事的影响,就改名为情僧,把《石头记》改为《情僧录》。
山东的孔梅溪题为《*》。
后来,曹雪芹于悼红轩中,披阅十载,增删五次,编纂成目录,分出章回,又题名为《金陵十二钗》,并题一首绝句:满纸荒唐言,一把辛酸泪!都云作者痴,谁解其中味?那块石头上记录的文字是这样的:苏州城的阊门,是人间最繁华风liu的地方。
阊门外有个十里街,街上有条仁清巷,巷里有座葫芦庙,庙旁住着一家官人,姓甄名费字士隐,娶妻封氏,性情贤淑。
家中虽不是多富,在这一带也是第一家。
他生性恬淡,不求功名,每天观花种竹、饮酒作诗,倒也神仙般快乐。
美中不足的是,老夫妻年近半百,没有儿子,只一个女儿,名叫英莲,年方三岁。
盛夏的一天,士隐在书房读书读累了,伏到几案上,矇矇眬眬地来到一个地方,就见来了一个和尚、一个道人。
道人问:“你要把这蠢物带到哪里?”和尚说:“如今有一段风liu 公案还没了结,这些风liu冤家还没投胎。
《红楼梦》David Hawks版精彩译文赏析
作者:中青网 文章来源:
伦敦大学教授英译《红楼梦》。《红楼梦》是中国的旷世巨著,大陆、香港、台湾都曾改编拍成电影,家喻户晓。50年代大陆拍摄的《红楼梦》在香港创下了连映二百多天的纪录,至今仍未有一部电影可以打破该纪录。
曹雪芹如果九泉下有知,欣悉二百余年后西洋竟然出了另一位奇才,连大学教授的高职也辞去,在家中孜孜不倦十五载,把他的作品全部译成蟹形文字,介绍到西方国家,必定会含笑引为同调!
这位西洋奇才就是前英国伦敦大学的教授霍克思(David Hawks.)
这里介绍霍克思译红楼梦,是希望大学翻译系的同学能观摩汉英翻译的极品,同时更为望各位忠实读者能欣赏地道中文与地道英语的讲写之法,从而提高研习中英文的兴趣。
五四运动后不少白话文作家都歌颂过《红楼梦》这部伟大的小说。红学专家,风起云涌,人才辈出;红学佳作,淙淙汩汩,源源不绝。
五六十年代多位中外学者就曾经把《红楼梦》英译,介绍到西方国家去,但由于种种问题,都只是节译而已。
直至70年代有一位牛津大学的讲座教授霍克思(David Hawks),竟然不惜辞去职务,专心埋首于全部《红楼梦》的英译。他的译笔功力深邃,英文写得非常流畅。
原文通畅易晓,雅丽芊绵,是地地道道的好文字;译文亦步亦趋,简洁流畅,从平凡中见功力,更觉难能可贵。
希望你们把原文译文反复熟诵,探究中英文的地道写法。下文开始提供对白英译,希望能协助大家提高英语会话的能力。
灵心妙手 译笔一流
《红楼梦》是中国文学园地百花丛中的一朵奇葩。它塑造了众多独特鲜明的人物,是一部不朽的艺术珍品。书中的主要角色,如贾宝玉、林黛玉、薛宝钗、王熙凤、刘姥姥等都宛如活在我们的心中。可见曹雪芹刻画人物,功力深邃。
"The more she read, the more she liked it, and before very long she had read several acts, She felt the power of the words and their lingering fragrance. Long after she had finished reading. When she had laid down the book and was sitting there rapt and silent, the lines continued to ring on in her head."

习语的翻译
• (1)3黛玉纳罕道:“ 这些人个个皆敛声屏气, 恭肃严 整如此, 这来者系谁, 这样放诞无礼?”(曹雪芹 2007 :33) 霍译:`Everyone else around here seems to go a-
bout with bated breath ' , thought Dai-yu .`Who can this new arrival be who is so brash and unmannerly ?' (Hawkes &Minford 1973 (v ol .1):90-91)
都用直译的方法解释了原文,而汉语和英语都 可以用樱桃来形容嘴唇。
• 《红楼梦》第六十五回形容尤 三姐嘴唇是“檀口点丹砂”。 “檀”是一种浅红色或浅绛色 的颜料,在古代常被女子用作 口红,所以“檀口”便成了描 写女性浅红色嘴唇的一个专用 语。丹砂,也叫朱砂,是古代 中国妇女最早的口红。
• “檀口点丹砂”杨译为“her fragrant lips glowed red as cinnabar”不仅把嘴唇的“红”
和涂嘴唇的颜料“朱砂”译出,还用 “fragrant lips glowed”尽译出嘴唇化妆后的
香艳和色泽,向读者传达了东方审美标准。 霍译本译为“lips incarnadine”,仅用 “incarnadine”翻译略显简单,没有原文极 尽修饰嘴唇香艳之意,但译者为适 应西方
文化,这种简化也是一种可取之道。

件事情就了不得,因为仗着亲戚们的势力,花了些银钱,这算白打死了一个公子。
哥哥就该改过做起正经人来,也该奉养母亲才是,不想进了京仍是这样。
妈妈为他不知受了多少气,哭掉了多少眼泪。
给他娶了亲,原想大家安安逸逸的过日子,不想命该如此,偏偏娶的嫂子又是一个不安静的,所以哥哥躲出门的。
真正俗语说的‘冤家路儿狭’,不多几天就闹出人命来了。
妈妈和二哥哥也算不得不尽心的了,花了银钱不算,自己还求三拜四的谋干。
无奈命里应该,也算自作自受。
大凡养儿女是为著老来有靠,便是小户人家还要挣一碗饭养活母亲,那里有将现成的闹光了反害的老人家哭的死去活来的?不是我说,哥哥的这样行为,不是儿子,竟是个冤家对头。
妈妈再不明白,明哭到夜,夜哭到明,又受嫂子的气。
我呢,又不能常在这里劝解,我看见妈妈这样,那里放得下心。
他虽说是傻,也不肯叫我回去。
前儿老爷打发人回来说,看见京报唬的了不得,所以才叫人来打点的。
我想哥哥闹了事,担心的人也不少。
幸亏我还是在跟前的一样,若是离乡调远听见了这个信,只怕我想妈妈也就想杀了。
我求妈妈暂且养养神,趁哥哥的活口现在,问问各处的帐目。
人家该咱们的,咱们该人家的,亦该请个旧伙计来算一算,看看还有几个钱没有。
”薛姨妈哭着说道:“这几天为闹你哥fated," Baochai kept tellingher to comfort her. "Inheritingso much property, he shouldhave lived quietly, mindinghis own business. Instead hecarried on scandalously downsouth, behaving sodisgracefully over Xiangling.It was only because of hispowerful connections andmoney that he got away withkilling that young gentleman.He should have turned over anew leaf then, and taken goodcare of you; but here in thecapital he carried on just asbefore. Goodness knows howoften he's provoked you,mother, how many tears he'smade you shed. "Then yougot him a wife, and wethought we could all live inpeace; but it was his fate tomarry such a shrew that heleft home to avoid her. As theproverb says, 'Foes are fatedto meet' - before very long hekilled a man again! "You andCousin Ke have done all youcould for him: spendingmoney and begging this oneand that one to help. Butthere's no escaping fate, andhe brought this on himself.People bring up children asprops for their old age, andeven the son of a poor familywill work to support hismother. What good is onewho squanders his wholeinheritance and breaks his oldmother's heart? "Maybe Ishouldn't say this, but the waybrother behaves he isn't yourson but your enemy. If youdon't wake up to this, you'llkeep crying from dawn tilldusk, from dusk till dawn,and have more to put up withfrom sister-in-law as well. As‘Brother Pan must have beenborn under an unlucky star,Mama! With the fortune thatGrandpa left, he should havebeen able to lead a quiet andcomfortable life. But insteadit’s been one disaster afteranother. First came Nankingand that disgraceful businessover Caltrop. He was entirelyto blame for that poor youngman’s death, and it was justlucky for him that we still hadplenty of pull and money inthose days, and were able toget him off.‘You’d have thought ascrape like that would havebeen enough to make himmend his ways. You’d havethought he might have takenlife a bit more seriously afterthat and devoted more time tolooking after his own mother.But no, as soon as we arrivedhere, it was the same story allover again. I hate to thinkhow much you’ve suffered onhis account, Mama, howmany tears you’ve shed. Thenhe got married, and at last wethought life might quietendown a bit for all of us. Butfate evidently had somethingelse in mind. Eventually thatdreadful woman drove himaway with her insufferablecarryings on. ‘And even thatwas not the end of it. As thesaying goes: “Fate moves in anarrow lane, and collisionsare hard to avoid!” It wasonly a few days before he wasmixed up in this new murdercase! You and Cousin Kehave done everything youpossibly could. Apart from allthe money you’ve spent,you’ve never stopped askingfor help and thinking of waysto get him out. You can’t goon struggling with fate. He’llhave to pay the price for hisown misdeeds. ‘Most parentslook to their children forsupport in their old age, andeven in poor families a manwill do his best to earn hismother a bowl of rice. Butwhat has Pan done?Squandered a ready-madefortune, and made your life amisery. I know I shouldn’t say哥的事,你来了,不是你劝我,便是我告诉你衙门的事。

贾政此时气的目瞪口歪,一面送那长史官,一面回头命宝玉"不许动!回来有话问你!"
一直送那官员去了。才回身,忽见贾环带着几个小厮一阵乱跑。贾政喝令小厮"快打,快打!"贾环见了他父亲,唬的骨软筋酥,忙低头站住。
宝玉急的跺脚,正没抓寻处,只见贾政的小厮走来,逼着他出去了。贾政一见,眼都红紫了,也不暇问他在外流荡优伶,表赠私物,在家荒疏学业,淫辱母婢等语,只喝令"堵起嘴来,着实打死!"
小厮们不敢违拗,只得将宝玉按在凳上,举起大板打了十来下。贾政犹嫌打轻了,一脚踢开掌板的,自己夺过来,咬着牙狠命盖了三四十下。众门客见打的不祥了,忙上前夺劝。
说毕,爬在宝玉身上大哭起来。贾政听了此话,不觉长叹一声,向椅上坐了,泪如雨下。
王夫人抱着宝玉,只见他面白气弱,底下穿着一条绿纱小衣皆是血渍,禁不住解下汗巾看,由臀至胫,或青或紫,或整或破,竟无一点好处,不觉失声大哭起来,"苦命的儿吓!"
因哭出"苦命儿"来,忽又想起贾珠来,便叫着贾珠哭道:"若有你活着,便死一百个我也不管了。"此时里面的人闻得王夫人出来,那李宫裁王熙凤与迎春姊妹早已出来了。王夫人哭着贾珠的名字,别人还可,惟有宫裁禁不住也放声哭了。
刚转过屏门,不想对面来了一人正往里走,可巧儿撞了个满怀。只听那人喝了一声" 站住!"
宝玉唬了一跳,抬头一看,不是别人,却是他父亲,不觉的倒抽了一口气,只得垂手一旁ห้องสมุดไป่ตู้了。
贾政道:"好端端的,你垂头丧气も些什么?方才雨村来了要见你,叫你那半天你才出来,既出来了,全无一点慷慨挥洒谈吐,仍是葳葳蕤蕤。我看你脸上一团思欲愁闷气色,这会子又咳声叹气。你那些还不足,还不自在?无故这样,却是为何?"

译文一:杨宪益、戴乃迭,A Dream of Red MansionsA Dream of Red MansionsCao XueqinAn Excerpt from Chapter 28Jiang Yuhan Gives a New Friend a Scarlet Perfumed Sash Baochai Bashfully Shows Her Red Bracelet Scented with MuskWhen Baoyu recovered sufficiently to look up she had gone, obviously to avoid him. Getting up rather sheepishly, he dusted off his clothes and walked down the hill to make his way back again to Happy Red court. Catching Sight of Daiyu ahead, he overtook her.“Do stop!”he begged. “I know you won’t look at me, but let me just say one word. After that we can part company for good.”Daiyu glanced round and would have ignored him, but was curious to hear this “one word,”thinking there must be something in it. She came to a halt.“Out with it.”Baoyu smiled.“Would you listen if I said two words?”he asked.At once she walked away.Baoyu, close behind her, sighed.“Why are things so different now from in the past?”Against her will she stopped once more and turned her head.“What do you mean by ‘now’ and the ‘past’?”Baoyu heaved another sigh.“Wasn’t I your playmate when you first came?”he demanded.“Anything that pleased me was yours, cousin, for the asking. If I knew you fancied a favorite dish of mine, I put it away in a clean place till you came. We ate at the same table and slept on the same bed. I took care that the maids did nothing to upset you; for I thought cousins growing up together as such good friends should be kinder to each other than anyone else. I never expected you to grow so proud that now you have no use for me while you’re so fond of outsiders like Baochai and Xifeng. You ignore me or cut me for three or four days at a time. I’ve no brothers or sisters of my own -- only two by a different mother, as well you know. So I’m an only child like you, and I thought that would make for an affinity between us. But apparently it was no use my hoping for that. There’s nobody I can tell how unhappy I am.” With that, he broke down again.译文二:David Hawkes,The Story of the StoneThe Story of the StoneCao XueqinAn Excerpt from Chapter 28A crimson cummerbund becomes a pledge of friendship And a chaplet of medicine-beads becomes a source ofembarrassmentBy the time Baoyu’s weeping was over, Daiyu was no longer there. He realized that she must have seen him and have gone away in order to avoid him. Feeling suddenly rather foolish, he rose to his feet and brushed the earth from his clothes. Then he descended from the rockery and began to retrace his steps in the direction of Green Delights. Quite by coincidence Daiyu was walking along the same path a little way ahead.“Stop a minute!”he cried, hurrying forward to catch up with her.“I know you are not taking any notice of me, but I only want to ask you one simple question, and then you need never have anything more to do with me.”Daiyu had turned back to see who it was. When she saw that it was Baoyu still, she was going to ignore him again; but hearing him say that he only wanted to ask her one question, she told him that he might do so.Baoyu could not resist teasing her a little.“How about two questions? Would you wait for two?”Daiyu set her face forwards and began walking on again.Baoyu sighed.“If it has to be like this now,”he said, as if to himself, “it’s a pity it was ever like it was in the beginning.”Daiyu’s curiosity got the better of her. She stopped walking and turned once more towards him.“Like what in the beginning?” she asked.“And like what now?”“Oh, the beginning!”said Baoyu.“In the beginning, when you first came here, I was your faithful companion in all your games. Anything I had, even the thing most dear to me, wasyours for the asking. If there was something to eat that I specially liked, I had only to hear that you were fond of it too and I would religiously hoard it away to share with you when you got back, not daring even to touch it until you came. We ate at the same table. We slept in the same bed. I used to think that because we were so close then, there would be something special about our relationship when we grew up -- that even if we weren’t particularly affectionate, we should at least have more understanding and forbearance for each other than the rest. But how wrong I was! Now that you have grown up, you seem only to have grown mor e touchy. You don’t seem to care about me any more at all. You spend all your time brooding about out-siders like Feng and Chai. I haven’t got any real brothers and sisters left here now. There are Huan and Tan, of course; but as you know, they’re only my half-brother and half-sister: they aren’t my mother’s children. I’m on my own, like you.

《红楼梦》译例
《红楼梦》译例1.例;霍克斯(David Hwakes[1]Hwakes,David.The Story of the Stone[M].Penguin Books,1980.)翻译的《红楼梦》以下意识的西方中心的惯常思维,用西方读者熟知的文化意象将原语文化强行进行置换、归化。
他将“怡红公子”译为“Green Boy”,“怡红院”译成“the House of GreenDelights”。
他想当然地用自己西方人的文化视野来看待书中颜色的文化含义,将“红”归化为西方人的喜欢的“绿”,的文化含义。
忽视了“红色”在中国文化里具有吉祥和喜庆之义和在这部作品中对“爱情”的含义,使西方人很难领略到甚至曲解深厚的中国文化。
2; 例;《红楼梦》第25回有这样一句话:“没良心的!狗咬吕洞宾——不识好歹”。
杨宪益([4]杨宪益,戴乃迭.红楼梦[M].人民文学出版社,1994.) 先生将其译为:“Y ou ungraceful thing! Like the dog that bit LvDongbin--you bite the hand that feeds you”。
译文采用增加、注释的方法,真实地再现了“狗咬吕洞宾——不识好歹”这一具有中华文化特色习语的文化含义。
习语前半部译成比喻“Like the dog…”,把释义放在后半部“Y ou bit the hand that feeds you”。
真可谓比喻部分象原文一样生动,释义部分如原文一样确切,前后相得益彰,淋漓尽致地再现了源语文化。
杨氏夫妇把“泥猪癞狗、枯株朽木、粪窟泥沟”翻译成“no better than a filthy pig or mangy dog; just a stump of rottenwood; just a cess-poolorgutter.”(杨, 1978, 111-112 [5]杨宪益,戴乃迭,译.红楼梦[M].北京:外文出版社, 1978.);而霍克斯则翻译为“just a pigwal-lowing in the mud, a mangy dog; the dead and rotten wood beneath; the cessp it and swell the stinking sewer of my inside.”(霍, 1979, 178 [3]霍克斯,大卫,译.石头记[M].伦敦:印第安那大学出版社, 1979.)。
