摘要
本文针对莎士比亚的诗剧《理查三世》(TheLifeandDeathofRichardⅢ)中一段独白的六种权威汉译提出批评。由于对原文的质朴简洁缺乏认识,以及没能正确使用本国语言,译者使用了不少不符合汉语习惯用法的冗词赘语,以致无法传达出原文优美的语言特征和艺术风格。作者在此提出一种新的翻译莎翁诗剧的方法,即以一个汉字译一个英语音节,并极力做到在语句结构和深层意义上贴近原文,以确保莎士比亚作品的风姿艳采。
This paper gives comment on the six authorative Chinese translated texts of a soliloguy of the Life and Death of Richard Ⅲ by W. Shakespeare. For want of the understanding of Shakespeare’s brevity and being unable to use their native language correctly, the translators lose themselves in verbiage characteristics of the original. Here the author proposes a new translation method of Shakespeare’s drama in verse, that is, one English syllable is changed into one Chinese character with only one syllable. At the same time he does his best to keep up correspondence between the Chinese version and the original both in the structure of sentences and in the meaning of words so as to ensure the reappearance of Shakespeare’s rich and bright colours and the artistic styles.
