水调歌头(英文版)When will the moon be clear and bright?With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky。

I don’t know what season it would be in the heavens on this night.I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.Dancing with my moon—lit shadow,It does not seem like the human world.The moon rounds the red mansion stoops to silk—pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless bearing no grudge,Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart,The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane,This has been going on since the beginning of time。

May we all be blessed with longevity though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together?水调歌头明月几时有,把酒问青天.不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。

我欲乘风归去, 又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒,起舞弄清影,何似在人间.转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。

水调歌头英语翻译从他乡飘洋过海来,胸中无限风流意。

Having traveled across the sea from a distant land, my heart is filled with boundless romantic thoughts.识得君归来前,残脂衰鬓两虚。

谁怜寂寞生长,沧浪歌舞悲秋?Seeing you return, I notice the remnants of youth fading from your face. Who will pity the loneliness that grows within, as the Pacific Ocean’s dance sings a sorrowful autumn melody?欲留海使愁满面,玉容应未有。

Wanting to detain you gives rise to worry on my face; the flawless beauty you hold is unparalleled.胭脂俗拙妆垢绛,红杏枝头一废,故画为辞金竹。

Your rouge and ordinary makeup are like a smudge on a porcelain vase; the beauty of our past has faded like the blooming red apricot flowers on the branch, as we say goodbye with painted bamboo symbols.残阴未阙头如许,活计终须偃志耦。

调琴弦久幽怨,梅花落尽风雨。

The lingering shadows have not yet faded from our heads; practical matters must eventually be reconciled. The notes of the lute have long resonated with lament, as the plum blossoms fall amidst the wind and rain.虽逐十年在此夜,凄怆得离歌以聚。

I do not know what time of the year’Would be tonight in the palace on high。

I rise and dance, with my shadow I play。

On high as on earth, would it be as gay?The moon goes round the mansions redThrough gauze-draped window soft to shedHer light upon the sleepless bed。

Why then when people part, is the oft full and bright?Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane。

《水调歌头·明月几时有》英译本体现出的翻译美学

2013.02学教育77《水调歌头·明月几时有》英译本体现出的翻译美学张婵(西安外国语大学高职部,陕西西安710061)[摘要]我国宋代著名文人苏轼的代表词作《水调歌头·明月几时有》是一首脍炙人口、广为流传的北宋名词,近现代以来,经过国内外多位翻译大家的精心翻译已经在海内外产生了极大的影响。

本文将从《水调歌头·明月几时有》许渊冲、林语堂、John ·A ·Turner 等的英译本来分析翻译美学在其中的具体呈现,分别从语音美、形式美、意境美等三个方面分析和阐释其中蕴含的翻译美学,以及呈现出来的中国古典诗词在英译本中独特的艺术感染力,从而为进一步探讨今后的翻译作品如何更好地展示出原诗词的艺术魅力寻找突破口。

二、翻译美学众所周知,在翻译中国古典诗词时,由于受到翻译者所处的文化背景、语言习惯以及译者主体性等多种差异性因素的影响,不可能使译文和原文在语言、文字、风格、意境、思想等方面完全一样。

译者只能通过各种翻译手法使得译文在最大程度上接近原文,并且仍然葆有诗词的独特的艺术魅力。

功能对等视角下苏轼《水调歌头》的三个英译本研究

功能对等视角下苏轼《水调歌头》的三个英译本研究作者:陈欣悦来源:《汉字文化(教育科研卷)》2017年第13期【提要】奈达认为“翻译是用最恰当、自然和对等的语言从语义到文体再现源语的信息。

”即实现译文和原文的功能对等。

本文将在奈达功能对等理论的指导下对比赏析苏轼《水调歌头》的许渊冲、林语堂和朱纯深译本,从音、形、意三个角度,探讨各译本对原文的还原程度,即功能对等程度。

【关键词】水调歌头英译本研究尤金·奈达是美国著名的语言学家、翻译家及翻译理论家。

奈达的一生致力于《圣经》的翻译研究,并提出了“功能对等理论”,他认为功能对等就是“译文读者对译文所做出的反应与原文读者对原文所做出的反应基本一致。

” 奈达还强调,“翻译是用最恰当、自然和对等的语言从语义到文体再现源语的信息。

”我国著名翻译家谭载喜曾评价“奈达的翻译思想不失为西方翻译思想宝库中一颗璀璨的玉石。

”(谭,1999)。

古词是中国文化海洋中一颗绚丽的珍珠,是博大精深的中华文化的主要见证者。

苏轼是宋代文学最高成就的代表,是唐宋八大家之一,尤其在词方面取得了很高的成就。

著名词人刘辰翁在《辛稼轩词序》中赞美他道:“词至东坡,倾荡磊落,如诗,如文,如天地奇观。

”《水调歌头·明夜几时有》便是他的代表作之一。

此词构思新颖,立意高远,用积极向上的笔调抒发了思念亲人的真挚感情,是有史以来公认的中秋词绝唱。

南宋著名文学家胡仔对这篇词给予了很高的评价:“中秋词,自东坡《水调歌头》一出,余词俱废。

”(胡仔,1962)《水调歌头》亦有许多名家英译本,尤以许渊冲、林语堂和朱纯深的译作为代表。

许渊冲从事文学翻译六十余年,精通中、英、法等语种,是亚洲第一位获得“北极光”杰出文学翻译奖的翻译家。

他主张翻译应遵循三美原则:意美、音美与形美。

林语堂先生是中国现代著名作家、学者、翻译家、语言学家,他曾将孔孟老庄哲学和陶渊明、李白、苏东坡、曹雪芹等人的文学作品英译并推广到海外,并用英文写成《苏东坡传》一书。

《水调歌头;明月几时有》英译赏析

《水调歌头;明月几时有》英译赏析

《水调歌头;明月几时有》英译赏析“明月几时有,把酒问青天”,这首《水调歌头》是东坡先生与弟弟分别七年不得团圆时所作,中秋佳节,望月怀人,写尽人世悲欢。

接下来,小编给大家准备了《水调歌头•明月几时有》英译赏析,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。

《水调歌头•明月几时有》英译赏析“丙辰中秋,欢饮达旦,大醉,作此篇,兼怀子由”,借苏轼的“望月思人”之情“怀古”,追念那一段血泪交加的悲情历史。

抗战和动荡中长夜漫漫,明月几时有?可明月终会有,就像它的英文译名所说,Our Time Will Come。

该片取材于真实的历史人物和事件,讲述以香港传奇女性“方姑”为代表的仁人志士克服重重困难,将何香凝、柳亚子、茅盾、邹韬奋等数百文化名人及爱国民主人士成功营救出战火纷飞的香港。

许鞍华以“明月几时有”为题,大抵是在向那些无名英雄致敬。

无数个籍籍无名的人共同在黑暗中穿梭,纵使人微势轻,也如流光同皎洁。

电影是有情怀的电影,原诗也是千古佳作,接下来,我们以许渊冲先生的译文为例,看看原诗里的事:水调歌头·明月几时有Prelude to Water MelodySent to Ziyou on Mid-autumn Festival丙辰中秋,欢饮达旦,大醉,作此篇,兼怀子由。

On the mid-autumn festival, I drank happily till dawn and wrote this in my cups while thinking of Ziyou.苏轼明月几时有?把酒问青天。

不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。

我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒。

起舞弄清影,何似在人间。

译文:When did the bright moon first appear?Wine-cup in hand, I ask the blue sky.I do not know what time of yearIt would be tonight in the palace on high.Riding the wind, there I would fly,But I'm afraid the crystalline palace would beToo high and too cold for me.I rise and dance, with my shadow I play.On high as on earth, would it be as gay?赏析:苏轼在朝为官,但与变法者王安石等人政见不同,自求外放。

本文将从识解理论的辖域背景、视角、突显和详略度四个维度解析苏轼《水调歌头》英文翻译的识解过程,通过分析对比各个译本的差异,体会译者的主观能动性在识解过程中的决定作用。

关键词:认知;识解理论;水调歌头;英文翻译语言是人类对认知的主观描述,反映其内心的心理活动。

不同的认知方式会产生不同的识解过程。

本文采用许渊冲、林语堂与巴顿·华兹生(Burton Watson)的英译本,通过分析苏轼《水调歌头》三个英译本的差异,感受中西方不同的识解方式,体会人主观意识创造性的独特魅力。

(一)To “Water Song”Su ShiAt the Mid-Autumn Festival in the year Bing-chen (1076) Ienjoyed myself by drinking until dawn and became very drunk. I wrote this poem, thinking of Ziyou.Bright moon, when wast thou made?Holding my cup, I ask of the blue sky.I know not in heaven’s palacesWhat year it is this night.I long to ride the wind and return;Yet fear that marble towers and jade houses,So high, are over-cold.I rise and dance and sport with limpid shades;Better far to be among mankind.Around the vermillion chamber,Down in the silken windows,She shines on the sleepless,Surely with no ill-will.Why then is the time of parting always at full moon?Man has grief and joy, parting and reunion;The moon has foul weather and fair, waxing and waning.In this since ever there has been no perfection.All I can wish is that we may have long life,That a thousand miles apart we may share her beauty.(Robert Kotewell & Norman Smith 译)(二)Prelude to Water MelodySu ShiHow long will the full moon appear?Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky.I do not know what time of the year’T would be tonight in the palace on high.Riding the wind, there I would fly,Yet I’m afraid the crystalline palace would beToo high and cold for me.I rise and dance, with my shadow I play.On high as on earth, would it be as gay?The moon goes round the mansions redThrough gauze-draped window to shedHer light upon the sleepless bed.Against man she should have no spite.Why then when people part, is she oft full and bright?Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.So let us wish that manWill live long as he can!Thoug h miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays.(许渊冲译)(三)Tune: “Prelude to Water Music”Su ShiOn mid-autumn night of the yea bing-chen (1076), I drank merrily until dawn, got very drunk and wrote this poem, all the while thinking longingly of Ziyou.Bright moon, when did you appear?Lifting my wine, I question the blue sky.Tonight in the palaces and halls of heavenwhat year is it, I wonder?I would like to ride the wind, make my home there,only I fear in porphyry towers, under jade eaves,in those high places the cold would be more than I could bear.So I rise and dance and play with your pure beams,though this human world – how can it compare with yours?Circling my red chamber,low in the curtained door,you light my sleeplessness.Surely you bear us no ill will –why must you be so round at times when we humans are parted?People have their griefs and joys, their joining and separations,the moon its dark and clear times, its roundings and wanings.As ever in such matters, things are hardly the way we wish.I only hope we may have long long lives,may share the moon’s beauty, though a thousand miles apart.(Burton Watson 译)下载全文。

I wrote this poem, thinking of Ziyou.Bright moon, when wast thou made?Holding my cup, I ask of the blue sky.I know not in heaven’s palacesWhat year it is this night.I long to ride the wind and return;Yet fear that marble towers and jade houses,So high, are over-cold.I rise and dance and sport with limpid shades;Better far to be among mankind.Around the vermillion chamber,Down in the silken windows,She shines on the sleepless,Surely with no ill-will.Why then is the time of parting always at full moon?Man has grief and joy, parting and reunion;The moon has foul weather and fair, waxing and waning.In this since ever there has been no perfection.All I can wish is that we may have long life,That a thousand miles apart we may share her beauty.(Robert Kotewell & Norman Smith 译)(二)Prelude to Water MelodySu ShiHow long will the full moon appear?Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky.I do not know what time of the year’T would be tonight in the palace on high.Riding the wind, there I would fly,Yet I’m afraid the crystalline palace would beToo high and cold for me.I rise and dance, with my shadow I play.On high as on earth, would it be as gay?The moon goes round the mansions redThrough gauze-draped window to shedHer light upon the sleepless bed.Against man she should have no spite.Why then when people part, is she oft full and bright?Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.So let us wish that manWill live long as he can!Thoug h miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays.(许渊冲译)(三)Tune: “Prelude to Water Music”Su ShiOn mid-autumn night of the yea bing-chen (1076), I drank merrily until dawn, got very drunk and wrote this poem, all the while thinking longingly of Ziyou.Bright moon, when did you appear?Lifting my wine, I question the blue sky.Tonight in the palaces and halls of heavenwhat year is it, I wonder?I would like to ride the wind, make my home there,only I fear in porphyry towers, under jade eaves,in those high places the cold would be more than I could bear.So I rise and dance and play with your pure beams,though this human world – how can it compare with yours?Circling my red chamber,low in the curtained door,you light my sleeplessness.Surely you bear us no ill will –why must you be so round at times when we humans are parted?People have their griefs and joys, their joining and separations,the moon its dark and clear times, its roundings and wanings.As ever in such matters, things are hardly the way we wish.I only hope we may have long long lives,may share the moon’s beauty, though a thousand miles apart.(Burton Watson 译)。

不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。

I’d like to ride the wind to fly home.Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.Dancing with my moon-lit shadow,It does not seem like the human world.我欲乘风归去, 又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒,起舞弄清影,何似在人间。

The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless,Bearing no grudge,Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。

不应有恨,何事长向别时圆。

People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart,The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane,This has been going on since the beginning of time.May we all be blessed with longevity Though far apart,we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。

《水调歌头》林语堂英译版
水调歌头
苏轼
How rare the moon, so round and clear! 明月几时有
With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky, 把酒问青天
"I do not know in the celestial sphere 不知天上宫阙
What name this festive night goes by?" 今夕是何年
I want to fly home, riding the air, 我欲乘风归去
But fear the ethereal cold up there, 但恐琼楼玉宇
The jade and crystal mansions are so high! 高处不胜寒
Dancing to my shadow, 起舞弄清影
I feel no longer the mortal tie. 何似在人间
She rounds the vermilion tower, 转朱阁
Stoops to silk-pad doors, 低绮户
Shines on those who sleepless lie. 照无眠
Why does she, bearing us no grudge, 不应有恨
Shine upon our parting, reunion deny? 何事长向别时圆
But rare is perfect happiness--
The moon does wax, the moon does wane, 月有阴晴圆缺
And so men meet and say goodbye. 人有悲欢离合此事古难全
I only pray our life be long, 但愿人长久
And our souls together heavenward fly! 千里共婵娟
