中诗英译:纳兰性德《木兰花·拟古决绝词柬友》汉译英

【引】《木兰花·拟古决绝词柬友》是清代词人纳兰性德的作品。此词描写了一个为情所伤的女子和伤害她的男子坚决分手的情景,借用班婕妤被弃以及唐玄宗与杨贵妃的爱情悲剧的典故,通过“秋扇”、“骊山语”、“雨霖铃”、“比翼连枝”这些意象,营造了一种幽怨、凄楚、悲凉的意境,抒写了女子被男子抛弃的幽怨之情。盛冬铃《纳兰性德词选》:“决绝意谓决裂,指男女情变,断绝关系。唐元稹曾用乐府歌行体,摹拟一女子的口吻,作《古决绝词》。容若此作题为‘拟古决绝词柬友’,也以女子的声口出之。其意是用男女间的爱情为喻,说明交友之道也应该始终如一,生死不渝。”(据百度词条)本译诗采用明白晓畅的现代英语翻译,格律为抑扬格六音步,无韵。译者在追求信、雅、达的基础上,较为注重文意的忠实、自然、顺畅和诗意的最大限度的保留。之所以有格律而不用韵,也是考虑到如果刻意押韵的话,必然会因韵害义,一来可能会歪曲原义,二来会使文意不自然,不通畅,甚至显得拗口。英文和中文毕竟有很大差别,

为了套上一个韵脚,难免要作文意的变换,甚至不得不生搬硬套,牵凿附会。这样就会舍弃最贴切、最合意的词语和句子,得不偿失。对于诗歌来说,语言通顺、文意流畅是最基本的要求,如果连语义都不通畅,即使押韵了,诗意也荡然无存。诗歌是最美的语言,语言拗口的诗句,即使写得巧妙,也是无诗意的。

我的翻译讲究明白、通畅。在追求诗意美的同时,力求浅白易懂。因为诗歌语言精微独特,在用另一种语言翻译后容易变得艰涩不畅,特别是因讲究押韵而刻意雕词琢句的话,就容易使语句、文意不流畅。我认为诗歌翻译应该做到“三畅”:语畅、意畅、情畅。语畅是指语句通畅不拗口,意畅是指意思通畅不艰涩,情畅是指情思通畅不别扭。

Song of Magnolia

(A letter to my friend which follows an ancient style of parting song) Nalan Xingde

罗沐译

If life feels always like the love at first sight,

How come the painted fan’s pitied by autumn wind?

The folks who have broken faith with their old flames

But plead that faith is usually easy to crack.

After the vow of Mount Li at the cold mid-night

Tears mingled with the rain, the bell, but with no rues;

How could you be the heartless king of majesty

Who ever made the oath of wing-by-wing birds

and bough-in-bough trees?

【原文】

木兰花·拟古决绝词柬友⑴

人生若只如初见,

何事秋风悲画扇⑵。

等闲变却故人心,

却道故人心易变⑶。

骊山语罢清宵半,

泪雨霖铃终不怨⑷。

何如薄幸锦衣郎,

比翼连枝当日愿⑸。

【词句注释】(据百度词条)

⑴木兰花:词牌名。柬:给……信札。

⑵“何事”句:用汉朝班婕妤被弃的典故。班婕妤为汉成帝妃,被赵

飞燕谗害,退居冷宫,后有诗《怨歌行》,以秋扇闲置为喻抒发被弃之怨情。南北朝梁刘孝绰《班婕妤怨》诗又点明“妾身似秋扇”,后遂以秋扇见捐喻女子被弃。这里是说本应当相亲相爱,但却成了相离相弃。唐代诗人王昌龄做《长信秋词五首》来怜惜她。

⑶故人:指情人。却道故人心易变(出自娱园本),一作“却道故心人易变”。看似白话,其为用典,出处就在南朝齐国山水诗人谢朓的《同王主簿怨情》后两句“故人心尚永,故心人不见”。汪元治本《纳兰词》误刻后句“故心人”为“故人心”,这一错误常被现代选本沿袭。

⑷“骊(lí)山”二句:用唐明皇与杨玉环的爱情典故。《太真外传》载,唐明皇与杨玉环曾于七月七日夜,在骊山华清宫长生殿里盟誓,愿世世为夫妻。白居易《长恨歌》:“在天愿作比翼鸟,在地愿作连理枝。”对此作了生动的描写。后安史乱起,明皇入蜀,于马嵬坡赐死杨玉环。杨死前云:“妾诚负国恩,死无恨矣!”又,明皇此后于途中闻雨声、铃声而悲伤,遂作《雨霖铃》曲以寄哀思。

⑸“何如”二句:化用唐李商隐《马嵬》诗中“如何四纪为天子,不及卢家有莫愁”之句意。薄幸:薄情。锦衣郎:指唐明皇。

英译汉 1.On an average of six time a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active” euthanasia: intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. https://www.wendangku.net/doc/457784345.html,st fall 19 distinguished British doctors wrote an open letter calling for the legalization of euthanasia for AIDS patients in the advanced stages of their illness. 3.Some zealous actions by pro-euthanasists have supplied ammunition to those who contend that legalizing active voluntary euthanasia would be the sin edge of the wedge for a variety of abuses. 4.Even in the Netherlands, the proposals now before Parliament would restrict euthanasia to a small number of cases and would surround even those with elaborate safe guards. 5. To many of us, gambling is, in many cases, a non-toxic drug against boredom and apathy, and may well help preserve good temper, patience and optimism, which will do us a world of good. 6. If a man makes gambling an obsession---almost a form of insanity---he will not lose his property gained through years of toil, he will also lose his dignity and conscience. 7.We can accomplish this by encouraging an interest in so many other activities that gambling itself will lose its fascination as an opiate to a colorless and dreary existence 8.The search for an answer brings you face to face with problems that are at once both the bane and lifeblood of virtually all research into human emotions. 9.Provine is one of the few researchers trying to go beyond anecdote and speculation by looking at laughter as an animal behaviorist might study birdsong or a wolf’s howl. 10.Politicians and other public speakers understand the power of laughter to break down barriers and forge a connection with their audience. A large part of President John Kennedy’s charm came from his ability to make jokes at his own expense, says Morreall. By inviting the audience to join him in laughter, Kennedy bridged much of the social gap between his wealthy, noble status and ordinary voters. Almost every after-dinner speaker opens with a joke for a similar reason. 11. But laughter can exclude as well as include, as another American president learnt to his cost. 12. That cultural imperialism is said to impose American values as well as products, promote the commercial at the expense of the authentic, and substitute shallow gratification for deeper satisfaction. 13. Globalization not only increases individual freedom, but also revitalizes cultures and cultural artifacts through foreign influences, technologies, and markets. Thriving cultures are not set in stone. They are forever changing from within and without. 14. But although many languages are becoming extinct, English is rarely to blame. 15. Where local languages are dying, it is typically national rivals that are stamping them out. French has all but eliminated Proven?al, and German Swabian. 16. Germans once objected to soccer because it was deemed English; now their soccer team is emblematic of national pride. 17. English may be all-conquering outside America, but in some parts of the United States, it is now second to Spanish.

Beijing Olympic Games will be a window to showcase our high-tech achievements and innovative capacity. 专项练习2 去年,美国联邦航空管理局把用来计算飞机载荷的乘客平均体重提高了10磅。因为当时原油价格创下了历史新记录,作为应对措施,很多公司不得不提高机票价格中的燃料费用。 美国人和欧洲人不断发胖的趋势促使政府发动健康运动,同时人们严厉谴责许多食品公司。麦当劳连锁店在谴责声中受到冲击,因而不得不在最近几个月里修改菜单,增加了一些更有利于健康的食物。这一举动促使麦当劳的盈利增加。然而,据专家预测,人类注定会越来越胖,会对航空公司的利润空间形成不断增加的压力。 【参考译文】 Last year, the Federal Aviation Administration increased by ten pounds the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads. Since then crude oil prices have hit record levels, with many firms responding by raising the fuel surcharge they add to ticket prices. The rising level of obesity in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms. Restaurant chain McDonald’s has taken the brunt of the attack and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier options. The move has helped lift profits. The prediction by experts, however, is that humans are set to become bigger, putting increasing pressure on airline profit. 专项练习3 据最新估计,雅典奥运会的开支已达到100亿美元,这对于希腊这样的小国来说可是一笔不小的数目,何况它曾经是欧盟中最贫穷的国家。 希腊对这次奥运会可能带来的美好前景寄予厚望,并想借此机会(向世界)展示一个“焕然一新”的希腊,以吸引新的投资者和游客。但是,本国运动员的兴奋剂丑闻和旅游业的低靡破坏了希腊的形象,这使希腊政府十分恼火。希腊财政部的一位重要官员告诉记者,希腊只有正确处理好公众关系,才能使雅典奥运会的开销变成投资。

英语翻译常用句型(加精)

英语翻译常考句型详解 1.It is not that…but that… 这不是说…,而是说… 「例文」It is not that the scales in the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of their construction or manner of working; but that the latter is much finer apparatus and of couse much more accurate in its measurement than the former. 「译文」这并不是说在一种情况下所使用的磅秤和在另一种情况下所使用的天平在构造原理上或工作方式上存在差别,而是说与前者相比,后者是一种更精密得多的装置,因而在计量上必然更加准确。 2.nothing else than 完全是,实在是 「例文」What the man said was nothing else than nonsense. 「译文」那个人讲的话完全是一派胡言。 3.as引导的特殊状语从句,翻译时做定语从句处理。 「例文」We hope the measures to control prices, as they have been taken by the government, will succeed. 「译文」我们希望,政府已经采取的控制物价的措施将取得成功。 4.名词+or+名词结构中,or后的名词是同位语,应译为即…;或者称…. 「例文」Moreover, technology includes techniques , or ways to do things , as well as the manchines that may or may not be necessary to apply them. 「译文」再者,除机器外技术还包括技艺,即制作方法,而运用这些记忆并不一定都需要机器。 5.more…than…结构有三种译法:than连接肯定形式的从句时,该从句译为否定句;在比较的基础上表示选择关系时,可译为与其说…不如说;进行同类比较时,译成比…更. 「例文」The complexity of the human situation and injustice of the social order demand far more fundamental changes in the basic structure of society itself than some politicians are willing to admit in their speeches. 「译文」人类社会形势的复杂性和社会制度的不公正性要求对社会基本结构进行彻底变革,而一些政客口头上是很不愿意承认这一点的。 「分析」这是一个主从复合句,连词than前为主句,than后为从句。虽然本句是进行程度上的比较,但从句意义是否定的, 故译成否定句。 6.no more …than 与not… any more than no more …than 与not… any more than同义,不可简单地看成是more …than的否定形式。具体地说,这一结构可能是带有一定的感情色彩的否定形式,也可能是一种较特殊的类比形式。其翻译方法有二;表示同类否定比较时,可译为不比…更或都…同样不;表示比喻关系时,可译为正如…不,…也不. 「例文」The food on the ship was no better than on any other ship on which Billy had sailed. 「译文」这条船上(供应的)食品并不如比利工作过的其他船上的(食品)好。(括号里的词是可以省略的。) 「分析」这是一个主从复合句、主句是The food …no better , than on any other ship 是省略了比较对象的比较状语从句,从句on which引导的定语从句修饰先行词ship.本句中no more… than用于同类否定的比较,可译为不如…. 7.not so much as与其说…不如说… 「例文」Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools. 「译文」新学派科学家说,科学的发展与其说源于天才伟人的真知灼见,不如说源于改进了的技术和工具等等更为普遍的东西。 「分析」这是一个主从复合句。插入语they say是主句,Science moves forward,……and tools是宾语从句。not so much……as 连接的是状语,as引导的状语从句中,由于上下文清楚,主谓语都省略了,即as(sciencemoves forward.)because of……not so much……as也可译为与其说……不如说……,它所表达的逻辑关系和more than有相似之处,也是在比较的基础上进行判断和选择,被比较的事物也同属一个范畴。所不同的是,more……than表示前重后轻的逻辑关系,而not so much… as和less than表示前轻后重的逻辑关系,这两个结构中信息重心落在句尾,因此不必倒过来译,只须按原文的词序顺译即可。
