2、lish romantic lyric poetry 英国浪漫主义抒情诗的翻译,CONTENTS,The characteristics of English romantic lyric poetry,浪漫主义作家强调个性、想象与主观思想感情，注重感情的自然流露，他们把“内心”、“想象”看作诗的本源，认为诗即诗人感情寻求表现冲动所造成的，或是为“创造性”的想象所驱使。,The romantic writer stress individual character,imagination and subjective feelings,pay attention to the feelings

7、e examples of lyric poetry translation,Example 1,权衡局部与整体关系，大胆运用剔除与补偿策略，捕捉原诗核心意象，凭借动词等再现原诗的动态意境。,“Like a glow-worm goldenIn a dell of dew，Scattering unbeholdenIts aerial hueAmong the flowers and grass，which screen it from the view”雪莱致云雀“像一只金色的萤火虫在凝露的深山幽谷不显露出它的行止影踪把晶莹的流光传播在遮断我们视线的芳草鲜花丛中”“好象是金色的萤火虫在凝露的

8、山谷里到处流散它轻盈的光/在花丛，在草地而花草却把它掩遮，毫不感激”,紧扣原文直译，萤火虫“不显露”(“unbeholden”)行踪，在遮断我们视线的芳草鲜花从中传播光亮，其描述重心是陈述事件，更倾向于实境营造。描绘而非陈述，重心在动境的营造并没有因为原诗“unbeholden”与“screen from the view”就放弃对比作萤火虫的云雀歌声动态的描绘，同时这种动境更加激发读者的遐想，并产生虚实相生的诗意。,Example 2 以比喻类比的手法，把云雀的歌唱比作萤火虫的光,音步、韵脚、诗行与诗节的安排并不尽依原诗，一成不变，而是随物赋形，寓变化于整齐，不苛求与原文字面、韵脚或音步的一

10、情窦初开羞答答,怜爱欣喜落泪花;犹如梦呓低声语,红云满面呼唤他。,Object-describing Poems Translation咏物诗歌翻译,CONTENTS,The characteristics of object-describing poems,就是托物言志或借物抒情的诗歌，通过事物的咏叹体现人文思想。咏物诗中所咏之“物”往往是作者的自况，与诗人的自我形象完全融合在一起，作者在描摹事物中寄托了一定的感情。,咏物诗：,They refer to those poems which focus on the description of objective things and e

20、（妙）On the ice-clad rock rising high and sheer A flower blooms sweet and fair.（translated by L in Tongji）“fair”（压尾韵）,How to be a good translator?,送别诗Farewell Poems,送别,诗,contents,黯然销魂者，,唯别而已矣。,渭城曲(又名：送元二使安西)王 维渭城朝雨浥轻尘，客舍青青柳色新。劝君更进一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。,解析：这是一首送朋友去西北边疆的诗。友人就要起程去遥远、偏僻的安西了。诗人依依不舍，送了一程又一程，一直到渭城。本诗通

21、过对饯别情景的描绘，表现了朋友之间的深厚情谊。,Comparison(一)许渊冲 译A Farewell SongNo dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain；The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.I invite you to drink a cup of wine again；West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.（二）唐一鹤 译Seeing off Yuan Er on Diplomatic Mission

23、1.(by Xu)No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rainThe willows look so fresh and green要点：“湿润”、“没有尘土扬起”、“清新与翠绿”译法2.(by Tang)Over the city of Xian YangLight dust was laid by the morning rain.In the freshened colour of weeping willowsThe guest-house by the road looks green.要点：“浥”字译为lay,意为cause

24、 something to settle；weeping来修饰willows，展现柳色青翠,砖瓦青青，兼顾了柳树 和客舍两处景物。,柳树青翠&客舍青青,送别诗中常见意象：杨、柳、酒、春草、山、水、亭、舟eg.杨柳（Willow）寓意：杨柳是“柳”“留”谐音，赠柳寓挽留之意。同时柳生命力强，赠柳意味着祝愿离人能很快适应新的环境。Key：结合诗意，将专有物象进行可感性的视觉化处理，其中较为可取的办法就是将专有名词的首字母大写，显其形。春夜洛城闻笛李白谁家玉笛暗飞声，散入春风满洛城。此夜曲中闻折柳，何人不起故园情。Willow GreenFrom whose house has come the s

25、ong of jade flute unseen?It fills the town of Luoyang,spread by wind of spring.Tonight I hear the farewell song of Willow Green.To whom the tune will not nostalgic feeling bring?赏析：将首字母大写，一来使之“显了形”，突显其在诗意中的重要性。二来利用专有名词大写这个译语读者熟知的方式引导读者对其丰富的文化象征含义进行深入、透彻、精准地解读。,典故,Mention The Name(people,things,place

26、s),Introduce The Identity,translation of allusions,Introduce The Main Content,Translate Mainly Figurative Sense,Show The Metonymy Of Ontology,Skill.Mention The Name(people,things,places),纳兰性德忆王孙强把心情付浊醪，读离骚，愁似湘汀日夜潮。赏析：“湘汀”指湘江。汨罗江是湘江的支流。关于汨罗江，也就是湘江，有令人悲痛的故事，伟大诗人屈原自沉于此。我们只需译出与故事有关的地方 湘江，再加一注解，读者就会从湘江追溯

27、到汨罗江。,应用：译出典故的人物、东西、地方的名词，再加一注解。这种方法通常用于诗歌中已提到的情况。,译文：Grudgingly,I give myself up to the unstrained wine.While reading the Li Sao,my sorrow resemblesday after day,night after night,the Xiang River tides.我饮着浊酒，读着离骚，我的忧伤象湘江的潮水。,Skill.Introduce The Identity应用：只译出典故中专有名词的人或物的身份、职务、归属或特征，再加一注解，简单介绍典故的内容。

28、韦应物东郊终罢斯结庐，萧陶直可庶。赏析：“陶”即陶渊明，东晋卓越诗人。“陶”虽为专有名词，但只有一个音节，我们可同时译出“陶”及其身份诗人。,译文：Yet sooner or late,Ill put up here a hut,And live a simple life that Tao,the poet loved.我迟早要在这里搭一个小屋，过那位姓陶的诗人喜欢的简朴生活。,Skill.Introduce The Main Content应用：把典故中的主要内容照直译出，可加注解，也可不加注解。通常只用于诗歌中已有所描绘的情况。不加注解，不影响对全句乃至全诗的理解。李白行路难闲来垂钩碧溪

29、上，忽闻乘舟梦日边。赏析：“垂钩碧溪上”为一典故，传说吕尚 90 岁在陕西溪钩鱼，得遇周文王。“乘舟梦日边”为一典故，据说伊尹受汤聘前梦见自己乘舟绕日月而过。作者在人生道路上遭遇艰难险阻时，想起了这两位贤臣未遇明君时的境况，对前途充满了信心。我们只要照直展现原文，译出典故重要内容，那么就展示了典故的大意。吕尚与伊尹为专有名词，为避免译文生硬、费解，我们就译出其身份。,译文：I can poise a fishing-rod like a marshal by a streamOr circle the sun and moon like a sage in a boat.我可以像一位元帅那样在

30、溪边垂钓，也可像一位智者那样在梦里驾舟绕过日月。,Skill.Translate Mainly Figurative Sense应用：为了使读者容易理解而不顾典故的具体情节，只译出其在诗歌中的主要含义。李白长干行常存抱柱信，岂上望夫台。赏析：“抱柱信”：据传尾生和情人约于桥下相会，女子未到，大水忽至。尾生守约不去，抱住桥柱，直到被水淹死。“望夫台”：即望夫山，据传古代有一个女子因想念远征离家已久的丈夫而每天上山候望。久而久之，她变成了一块石头，但一直保持原来形象，后人称其为望夫石，山为望夫山。作者通过两典表达主人公相信对方会珍惜爱情，会形影不离，怎么也想不到有分离之苦。翻译时，我们不必拘泥典故

31、的内容，可译出其主要喻义。译文：Rather than break faith,you declared youd die.Who knew Id live alone in a tower high?你信誓旦旦说宁死不背信。谁知道我会孤苦伶仃，独宿高楼。,Skill.Show The Metonymy Of Ontology 应用：为了让读者容易理解，展现指代义，而译出借代中的本体。李清照风凰台上忆吹箫念武陵人远，烟锁秦楼。赏析：“武陵”：陶潜桃花源记中的故事，这里“武陵人”指作者的丈夫。“秦楼”：即凤台。据传春秋萧史喜吹箫，作凤鸣。秦穆公以女弄玉妻之，筑凤台以居。一夕，萧吹箫引凤，夫妻乘之

32、升天。这儿，“秦楼”指词人住所。作者表达对丈夫的思念以及独居妆楼的苦闷。译文：Far,far away you pass your days:My bower here is drowned in haze.你在远方苦度光阴，我的住所笼罩在烟雾之中。,The comparison of western pastoral poem and Chinas pastoral poem,西方田园诗与中国田园诗,Pastoral poem is a style western countries and China have in common.,However,there is difference
