古籍英譯(李清照)

1、【譯文譯文】 昨天夜里，雨點(diǎn)稀疏，晚風(fēng)急猛，雖然酣睡了一宵，還是余醉未消。試探地問那卷簾的侍女，她卻告訴我說，海棠花還跟原先一樣。唉，你知道嗎，知道嗎，海棠樹應(yīng)該是綠葉繁茂、紅花凋零了?！局髦肌吭~人因惜花而痛飲，因情知花謝卻又抱一絲僥幸心理而“試問”，因不相信“卷簾人”的回答而再次反問，如此層層轉(zhuǎn)折，步步深入，將惜春憐花之情與多情善感之個(gè)性表達(dá)得搖曳多姿。同時(shí)也是以花喻人，慨嘆青春易逝。國內(nèi)李清照詞英譯共有22位譯者。根據(jù)譯者采取的不同的翻譯方法，可明確地分為三類:譯者代表：許淵沖許淵沖 特點(diǎn)：在忠實(shí)原文基礎(chǔ)上側(cè)重強(qiáng)調(diào)譯詩的詩歌韻式譯者代表：楊憲益楊憲益、冰心等 特點(diǎn)：主張譯詩忠實(shí)于詞的內(nèi)容的
