摘要
本文针对弗罗斯特The Cocoon一诗的汉语译诗提出批评。译者曲解诗人本意,随意改变原诗优美淡雅的意象,造成许多严重的误译;而且由于对英语重形合、汉语重意合的语言特征缺乏认识,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的冗词赘语,以致无法传达出原诗优美凝练的语言特征。本文提出一种新的翻译英语诗歌的方法,即以一个汉字译一个英语音节,并极力做到在语句结构上和深层意义上贴近原诗,以确保英语原诗的风姿艳彩。
This paper makes some comments on a Chinese translated text of The Cocoon by Robert Frost.The translator misunderstands the poet's original meaning and twists the fine and elegant image of the poem as he pleases.Thus he makes many serious mistakes in his translation.And at the same time for want of understanding the difference of the hypotaxis English and the parataxis Chinese and being unable to use his native language correctly,the translator loses himself in verbiage which does not tally with the Chinese usage,so that he fails to convey the simple and graceful language characteristics of the original poem.Here the author proposes a new translation method of the English poetry,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 corresponding between the Chinese and the original both in the structure of sentences and in the meaning of words so as to ensure the reappearance of the rich and bright colors of the original English poems.
