[中图分类号]:H059 [文献标识码]:A[文章编号]:1002-2139(2014)-02--011.引言唐代诗人孟浩然的《春晓》是首人人知晓、传咏百世的经典诗词。
作为五言律诗的杰出代表,其工整的对仗、简单的语言、自然的表述、委婉的音韵,使读者阅读起来真是回味无穷。
《春晓》不仅音韵优美,而且行文跌宕起伏,使得全诗读来朗朗上口,回味无穷。
诗人在表达对春天的喜爱之情时,不直接咏叹,而是通过对景物的描写,让读者有一种如临其境的感觉。
许多学者、翻译家和诗人争相将《春晓》译成英文。
本文选取了许渊冲、吴钧陶、翁显良三位大家的英文翻译进行赏析。
2.三种译文赏析2.1许渊冲的译文赏析许渊冲提出了译文的“三美”理论,即翻译诗词应当达到“音美”、“形美”、“意美”的境界。
如果翻译诗词无法体现原格律诗在形式、音韵上的特点,中国古诗词韵致的美感就丧失了许多。
因此,许先生翻译的诗词较为简单凝练,尽可能的保存了原格律诗的特点,做到音美、形美,婉转悠扬。
但在翻译意象时却带有浓厚的个人主观色彩。
在音韵上,原诗既押头韵,又尾韵整齐,“上声”为主韵,尾音则延长且曲折,读来朗朗上口。
节奏上看,原诗为四句两联五言绝句,抑扬顿挫,错落有序。
许译运用了“抑扬,抑扬,抑扬,抑扬”的模式,以四音步诗的节奏再现了原文音韵整齐的特点,全诗的音韵如行云流水般优美动听,译诗的前两句很好地把握住了原诗的意境。
中文诗虽无主语,但是以作者自身的所见所闻进行描述,译诗直接将其描述为“This morning of spring in bed I’m Lying,Not woke up till I hear birds crying.”译诗中用“crying”表示鸟的啼叫声,为译诗添上了一层悲哀的感情色彩。
从翻译美学浅析《春晓》英译
谢谢!
THE SECOND
诗歌翻译美学原理
许钧教授提出,文学翻译有三个层次:基础层次、
语义层次和审美层次。
许渊冲教授总结提出的译诗要做到意美、音美、形 美的“三美论”。他指出,译唐诗要尽可能传达原诗
的意美、音美和形美,译文即使百分之百地传达了原
诗的意美,但若缺少音美也不可能保存原诗的风格和 情趣。
THE THIRD 译本比较分析
但美中不足的是没有了原诗的意味和意境,没能展现出原诗
跌宕的层次与复杂的感觉;它只是让读者理解了原诗内容, 却没能让读者欣赏原诗的音美和形美、风格和神韵,得不到 原诗的平衡美感,译诗和原诗的“诗味”大不相同。
5、文体风格
细读翁显良的译文,读者可能会产生疑问: 译文内容不切。忽略的部分有:首行五字,除“春”字外,其余意思 均未译出;后两句的动词“闻”、“知”和第三句的“声”也没有译出; 增加的内容如:开篇“Late”一词为原文所无;夜来风雨,何以知天怒而 用“fury”?诗人对花落状态未曾明示,“poor dear”这些限定词又从 何而来?如果将翁的译文做一个回译,“原文”可为: (首先一声叹息)晚了!今日醒来已晚,可惜春光难挽,四周鸟咽空 啼。昨夜风雨无驻,胜似天公已怒。可怜落红无数! 对比之下,此回译与原文不尽相同。 译文形式上更像自由体诗或散文,缺乏格律诗的音乐性和节奏感。如 果唐诗都是以这种方式来翻译,恐怕会形成误导———外国读者们会以为 这就是享誉世界文学的唐诗的形式。 就其诗的“意似”而言,译者做得深透细致,然而“意美”何如?开 头的那一声叹息太过直白浅露,与原文委婉含蓄的风格不相符合,诗人的 情感一览无遗。自由体诗虽然可以表达出深邃的意境和强烈的感情,却无 法表达古典诗词毋容置疑的婉约、含蓄、言有尽而意无境的艺术性。诗本 身是具有朦胧美的,应给读者留以空间,说得太透则如戳破了纸灯笼。诗 中具有强烈感情色彩的词,无疑也会限制读者的理解和想象。

[中图分类号]:H315.9 [文献标识码]:A[文章编号]:1002-2139(2017)-09-0-02一、引言《春晓》是我国唐代山水派诗人孟浩然所写的一首五言绝句诗。
春晓春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声,花落知多少。
《春晓》这首诗仅仅二十字,但诗人以其深厚的语言文字运筹能力写出这篇巧夺天工之佳作,短短四行将人、景、物描写的浑然一体,充分表现出作者惜春、叹春而又哀春的丰富情感。
诗歌语言朴实自然,像高山流水般舒适,反复读之,却别有洞天,思绪良多。
此诗借景抒情,前两句描写实景,给读者展现一副春意盎然的美景,让人憧憬不已;后两句虚写,峰回路转,直抒胸臆,借助悄无声息的风雨声抒发自己心中的苦闷,悲凉之情跃然纸上。
诗歌虚实结合、动静结合,情感真挚细腻,让人流连忘返,遐想翩翩。
二、《春晓》之五首译作对于翻译诗歌,译者不仅仅需要充分领会文本字面含义,更需要在较高文字驾驭能力的基础上挖掘隐藏在文本之后的深层次的含义,通过文本这座沟通之桥,充分领悟以及揣测者意图表达的个人情感,最大程度的建立译者与作者之间思想上的共鸣,译出既贴切文本又符合作者内心情感的译本。
《春晓》英译文共有 31个,本文选取许渊冲、翁显良、吴均陶、WitterBynner、John Turner五位译者的《春晓》英译版进行对比赏析,通过分析每位译者各自的译本以及对比这五个版本的异同,从而来探讨其中如何展现了不同译文的艺术美。

《春晓》原诗及其英译文及物性对比
春晓》原诗及其英译文及物性对比一、引言诗在任何国家的语言中都被认为是思维表达的最高形式,近年来,一些学者以Halliday 的系统功能语法为理论框架,对古诗及其翻译的汉、英语篇进行对比分析,揭示语言分析对文学翻译研究的实用价值。
[2] 唐代诗人孟浩然的《春晓》一诗脍炙人口,本文拟从韩礼德的语篇纯理功能方面中的概念功能对《春晓》及其四种英译文进行及物性系统的分析,试图分析出各个译文的得失,以期对古诗翻译研究有所启示。
二、理论概述在Halliday 的系统功能语法中,语言有三大纯理功能:概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能。
概念功能在语言系统中通过及物性系统来体现。
及物性包括六个不同的过程:物质过程;心理过程;关系过程;言语过程;行为过程和存在过程。
[1]三、《春晓》原诗及其译作的及物性分析春晓春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声,花落知多少。
下面,我们对这首诗及其五个译本进行详细的分析。
1. 春眠不觉晓徐忠杰译为One slumbers late in the morning in spring ;许渊冲译为This morn of spring in bed I 'm lying ;吴均陶译为Slumbering ,I know not the spring dawn in peeping ,翁显良译为Late !this spring morning as I awake I know.第一句诗的翻译的处理,徐将此句译为一个行为过程,我们可以看到睡眠是与我们生理有关的,所以我们不把它归入物质过程,而归入行为过程。
许在这里把第一句理解为一个物质过程,其中动作者是“ I ”,过程是“ amlying in ”,目标是“ bed”,而“ this morn of spring ”是环境成分. 我们从吴的译文发现了既有行为过程,又有心理过程,首先来看行为过程,我们把“slumbering ” 认为是一个行为过程,如上对徐的分析,至于心理过程,我们可以看到其中“ I” 为感觉者(sensor ),“know” 代表这是一个表示认知的心理过程,被感知的现象是“the spring dawn ”,而“ in peeping ” 这个介词短语属于环境成分;翁的译文也属于心理过程,分析同上。

主题词: 古诗英译;《春晓》;原诗意境;人称
摘要:中国古诗凝练、含蓄,人称代词通常省略。
译者在英译古诗时,由于受英语形合特点的影响.往往不可避免地要根据自己的理解补出人称以符合英文的表达习惯。
唐诗《春晓》的四个英译本选用了不同人称所产生的情景联想和抒情效果表明正确理解与再现原诗意境,对确定恰当的译文人称起着决定性作用。
意境是中国古典诗歌的灵魂,也是古诗翻译的审美评价标准。
为了正确理解与再现原诗的意境.我们应不断提高自身的文学修养,全面分析原诗中的价值观念、人生追求以及对世界的感知方式和审美情趣.从而确定恰当的英文人称.使译文读者获得与原文读者一样的感受.。
《春晓》英译本评析
《春晓》英译本评析摘要:“信达雅”这一翻译标准在翻译界是最有影响的。
本文以这一标准为宏观参数,以情感、形象、风格作为微观参数对《春晓》的三个英译本进行了评析。
关键词:《春晓》情感形象风格1. 引言在中国翻译界中,严复所提的“信达雅”翻译标准是最有影响的。
“信”、“达”、“雅”三个字早在三国时支谦的《法句经序》中即已全都出现,但将这三个字作为“译事楷模”(即标准)而提出,则始自严复。
他在《天演论》卷首的《译例言》的第一段中指出:“译事三难:信、达、雅。
求其信,已大难矣。
顾信矣不达,虽译犹不译也,则达尚焉。
”又说:“《易》曰:‘修辞立诚。
’子曰:‘辞达而已。
’又曰:‘言之无文,行之不远。
’三者乃文章正轨,亦即为译者楷模。
故信达而外,求其尔雅。
此不仅期以行远已耳,实则精理微言,用汉以前字法句法,则为达易;用近世利俗文字,则求达雅。
”[1]他所谓的“信”是指把原文的本意完全正确地介绍,忠实地传达原作内容;“达”是指语句的通达顺畅,使译本读者能够读懂、理解;“雅”是指在译作中体现原文的写作风格。
就“信达雅”三者的关系而言,“信”是主要的标准,舍弃“信”就不谓翻译。
当然,不同写作风格,不同语体的原作,有不同的侧重点。
对于文学翻译而言,就不仅仅在于“信”和“达”,更应该强调的是“雅”的标准。
本文运用“信达雅”这一翻译标准作为宏观参数,情感、形象、风格作为微观参数来对《春晓》的三个译本进行对比评析。
2.译本评析孟浩然是一个以白衣终其一生的诗人。
他的一生除了在唐玄宗开元十六年曾去长安应试外,其余时间都是在隐居田园和游历山水中度过的。
他认为生活在繁盛的时代,作为一个知识分子不能为社会做事而平居一生是可耻的,所以他以四十岁为界,前半生主要是在家闭门苦学,为应试和做官作准备。
开元十六年去长安应试失败后,也曾产生过失望和怨恨情绪。
但从长安回到故乡后,心境渐渐平静下来,最后安心在故乡隐居。
《春晓》为五言绝句,韵脚优美,对仗整齐,节奏明快,是他的咏春佳作,语言平白如话,清新自然,而诗意隐约,情韵悠长。

从“春晓”英译谈诗歌译文赏析
从“春晓”英译谈诗歌译文赏析摘要诗歌是一种重要的文学体裁,古诗英译也是传递文化、研究语言的必由之路。
许渊冲的“美化之艺术”观点是对诗歌翻译和赏析方法的核心概括,其意美、音美、形美的“三美原则”的统一是古诗英译和译文赏析时遵循的最基本原则。
本文据此评析《春晓》一诗较为经典的两篇译文,通过进行对比分析来探讨各自特点,并进一步提出,在诗歌译文赏析时,读者既要关注诗歌之美,又要注意译者对于原作的侧重点和体现的文学、美学价值。
关键词:《春晓》三美原则古诗英译译文赏析中图分类号:h059 文献标识码:a诗歌是文学作品中最纯粹和唯美的一种文学体裁,也是各种文学样式里出现最早、最基本、影响最深远的一种文学形式。
它是内容美和形式美的统一,即借助于独特的节奏和凝练的语言,表达诗人的思想和情趣,反映社会生活,并且创造出“言有尽而意无穷”的审美享受。
《汉语词典》对其解释为“诗歌是文学体裁的一种,通过有节奏和韵律的语言反映生活,抒发情感”。
《新牛津英汉双解大词典》的解释为“诗歌是运用节奏、韵律和想象,表达情感、描述事件的文字形式”。
由此可见,诗歌在英汉两种语言里都是一种既注重语言内容又注重艺术形式的文学手段,而且充分体现了语言承载的文化内涵和作者深刻的情感诉求。
一许渊冲的“美化之艺术”理论为了传承世界文明,交流文化,更广泛和深层次地研究语言,英汉诗歌互译始终是翻译领域的一个热点,是可译还是不可译、是重意义表达还是重形式表现之类的讨论,多年来未曾休止;对诗歌译文的赏析也常常让读者费解,是从本族语的特点还是从目标语的特点着眼;对诗歌之美如何在译文中得到体现也是众说纷纭。
特别是汉语古诗英译,在中外文学评论界、翻译界有着悠久的历史。
许多中外学者、翻译学家为此做出了不懈的努力,提出了各具特色的英译古诗的原则和赏析方式。
王秉钦在他的《20世纪中国翻译思想史》一书中总结了中国传统翻译思想发展史的十大学说:古代的“文质说”,近代严复的“信达雅说”,现代鲁迅的“信顺说”,郭沫若的“翻译创作论”,林语堂的“翻译美学论”,朱光潜的“翻译艺术论”,茅盾的“艺术创造性翻译论”,傅雷的“神似说”,钱钟书的“化境说”,焦菊隐的“整体论”,等等,这些理论无一不影响着古诗英译方式和赏析角度。
三种译本的《春晓》
三种译本的《春晓》摘要:通过对比《春晓》三种有代表性的英译文,分析了由于中国古典诗歌自身的特点以及语言和文化差异造成的古诗翻译中相应的难点,对比剖析了中外名家译例的特点并着重探讨其在炼词方面的得失。
关键词:中国古诗;翻译;对比;炼词1 引言唐朝是中国历史上政治开明、经济繁荣、文化昌盛的时期,在这个时期中国古体诗(格律诗)的创作达到了鼎盛。
唐诗语言优美、文字流畅、意境高雅、情感真挚、思想开放而深邃,是中华民族文学宝库的精华,也是绽放在世界文苑里的一枝奇葩。
诺贝尔文学评奖委员会主席埃斯库马克盛赞中国文学独特的艺术美时曾说:“世界上哪些作品能与中国的唐诗和《红楼梦》相比呢?”《春晓》是中国千百年来脍炙人口的一首唐诗。
此诗语言精炼自然,音韵和谐婉转,读来意味无穷。
中外许多著名诗人,学者和翻译家都曾将其译成英文和其他文字。
本文选取了其中三种有代表性的英译文,并对每篇译文的特点及其炼词略作剖析,以期对古诗英译有进一步的了解。
2 原诗与译诗的比较与分析春晓孟浩然春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声,花落知多少?译文一:Witter Bynner译,A Spring MorningI awake light-hearted this morning of spring,Everywhere round me the singing of birds——But now I remember the night, the storm,And I wonder how many blossoms were broken?(The Jade Mountain, Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu, New York, Knopf, 1929) 简评:Bynner是英译中国古诗的名家。
对于他的译文,评论家的意见各不相同。
吕叔湘在这首诗的《赘言》中写道:“通首言之,仍是译中佳品”。
从炼词的角度看,Bynner在译文的前两句中使用了“light-hearted”和“singing of birds”,勾画出百鸟欢唱令人心怡神爽的美春景象,体现了原诗前两句的悦春之情。

White clouds float in the vast sky,。
I climb the Stork Tower high.Looking afar, mountains stretch wide,。
Rivers flow, a magnificent sight.2.《春晓》。
Dawn breaks, the world awakes,。
Birds sing, a cheerful serenade.Gentle breeze, flowers bloom,。
Nature's beauty, a delightful room.3.《秋风词》。
Autumn wind blows, leaves fall,。
The air is filled with a nostalgic call. Golden hues, a tapestry of trees,。
Whispering secrets in the breeze.4.《夜泊牛渚怀古》。
Moored by Niuzhu, I reminisce,。
Ancient tales echo, memories persist.Moonlight shimmers on the river's face,。
Silent night, a tranquil embrace.5.《登高》。
Climbing high, I reach the peak,。
Endless mountains, nature's mystique.Clouds caress the lofty hills,。
A sense of freedom, my heart fills.6.《望月怀远》。
Gazing at the moon, thoughts wander far,。
Missing loved ones, like a distant star. Moonlight casts a silver glow,。
《春晓》原诗及其英译文及物性对比
《春晓》原诗及其英译文及物性对比作者:徐瑞敏来源:《新教育时代》2014年第15期摘要:本文从Halliday的系统功能语法中的及物性角度入手,将唐诗《春晓》及其四篇英文译本进行对比分析研究,从中我们可以看出在这些译文当中,吴均陶先生的译文最佳。
希望本文的分析会给古诗英译得失分析及古诗翻译带来启示。
关键词:及物性系统《春晓》一、引言诗在任何国家的语言中都被认为是思维表达的最高形式,近年来,一些学者以Halliday的系统功能语法为理论框架,对古诗及其翻译的汉、英语篇进行对比分析,揭示语言分析对文学翻译研究的实用价值。
[2]唐代诗人孟浩然的《春晓》一诗脍炙人口,本文拟从韩礼德的语篇纯理功能方面中的概念功能对《春晓》及其四种英译文进行及物性系统的分析,试图分析出各个译文的得失,以期对古诗翻译研究有所启示。
二、理论概述在Halliday的系统功能语法中,语言有三大纯理功能:概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能。
概念功能在语言系统中通过及物性系统来体现。
及物性包括六个不同的过程:物质过程;心理过程;关系过程;言语过程;行为过程和存在过程。
[1]三、《春晓》原诗及其译作的及物性分析春晓春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声,花落知多少。
下面,我们对这首诗及其五个译本进行详细的分析。
1.春眠不觉晓徐忠杰译为One slumbers late in the morning in spring;许渊冲译为This morn of spring in bed I’m lying;吴均陶译为Slumbering , I know not the spring dawn in peeping,翁显良译为Late!this spring morning as I awake I know.第一句诗的翻译的处理,徐将此句译为一个行为过程,我们可以看到睡眠是与我们生理有关的,所以我们不把它归入物质过程,而归入行为过程。
许在这里把第一句理解为一个物质过程,其中动作者是“I”,过程是“ am lying in”,目标是“bed”,而“this morn of spring”是环境成分. 我们从吴的译文发现了既有行为过程,又有心理过程,首先来看行为过程,我们把“slumbering” 认为是一个行为过程,如上对徐的分析,至于心理过程,我们可以看到其中“I” 为感觉者(sensor),“know” 代表这是一个表示认知的心理过程,被感知的现象是“the spring dawn”,而“in peeping” 这个介词短语属于环境成分;翁的译文也属于心理过程,分析同上。
春晓 英语译文对比
In drowsy spring I slept until daybreak, When the birds cry here and there,I awake. Last night l heard a sound of wind and rain, How many blossoms have Spring
翁显良 译
Late! This spring morning as I awake I know. All around me the birds are crying, crying. The storm last night, I sensed its fury. How many, I wonder, are fallen, poor dear flowers!

Sexual Morning I don't wanna wake after an overnight fight, I find cock screaming everywhere i pass by. Sex blowing every night almost makes me die, Secret flowers fly and people just sigh. Spring dawn Sleeping not knowing it's morning, Birds are singing here and there. Sounds of raining and winding came, I wonder how many fallen flowers are there.
A Spring Morning
Witter Bynner 译
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring, Everywhere round me the singing of birds—— But now I remember the night, the storm, And I wonder how many blossoms were broken?
