Vernacular poetry translation of Three Hundred Tang Poems .

"Three Hundred Tang Poems" is a big book, how to translate the whole vernacular?

There are countless writers with the same name and different names. Personally, I pay more attention to the Qing Dynasty version.

by"Retired from the pond"Selected. Published by the Hong Kong and Shanghai Press, 1981. Called: "Three Hundred Tang Poems Appreciation".

There is an article attached to it, which is recorded by Zhu Ziqing on the "Reading Guide of Three Hundred Tang Poems". Because he is a celebrity, he should find the original article on the Internet! At the same time, Mr. Lu Xun also pushed a book called "Tang Caizi Poems" as a guide to his son, and you can also pay attention to it.

It is very difficult to translate poetry in the vernacular, because ancient poetry still has a single word meaning. There is a huge difference between the skill of the translator and the subjectivity and objectivity.

Let's ignore the differences in the phonetic meaning of the words in different national languages (English is a long word, and the middle is a unilateral word. Therefore. Just check"Single"Words can also appear in different word counts"Dictionary"Finish! In the ancient Chinese translation, only the translation of five words can also become a sentence translation, how to talk about the poetry in the five words?

Take an example: find the first sentence of Li Bai's Yuefu poem "Will Enter the Wine".

You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky"(10 words).

1) The translation is: Good friend, you have also seen the flowing water of the Yellow River coming down from the sky! (20 words).

2) Translate from the limited word to: Friends! The water of the Yellow River, the rain flows down the river. (10 words, not counted.)",!。"of).

3) Poetic translation is: Friend, do you know? The water of the Yellow River comes from heaven! (Plus.)"Affinity", less Li Bai's"Madness")

4) The abbreviated translation becomes: You come to see the water of the Yellow River from the sky! (The translation of a 10-word vernacular poem is also a translator's lack of skill compared to Li Bai!) )

But you have to be careful, it's not just a single sentence. And the next sentence"Rushing to the sea and never returning. "The vernacular will continue.

a) Frankly, you still appreciate the original sentence:"You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, (10) rushing to the sea and not returning (7)..."(Li Bai).

b) I translate it into the vernacular, and the number of words is:"People with eyes look at "Yellow River" The water comes from the sky, (10) rolling to the sea without looking back (7)..."(Translation).

Will you be satisfied? Although I also paid attention to Li Bai's"Frenzy"...Also modern vernacular poetry.

In the end, please still appreciate Li Bai's A!

You don't see the water (poem) of the Yellow River (ancient Tang Dynasty) coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning. "That's how to translate it for posterity"???

Clearly. It's just just 17 words to get back to you so much, not to mention that there are many other characters, different backgrounds and personalities, and different poetic depths.

Looking at the meaning of the 17 words with personal skills, it should be Li Bai"The spontaneous and natural personality is said to be a big river drink"This! (The main idea is that after four words, he is.)"Burn sorrow with wine"Medium).

You won't be in"Edgewood seeks fish"What about in the middle?

Li Bai's Wanglu Mountain Waterfall.

Vernacular translation of Liu Yuxi's "Song of the Ring of Sights".

The original text and translation of the three Tang poems are as follows:

The first song: "Out of the Stopper" author (Tang) Wang Changling.

Poetic: The old Mingyue and border passes that have continued from the Qin and Han dynasties to the present, and the soldiers who fought thousands of miles and guarded the border against the enemy have not yet returned. If there were still generals as brave and good at fighting as General Fei, they would never allow foreign enemies to go south and cross Yinshan.

The second song: the author of "Liangzhou Ci" (Tang) Wang Han.

Poetic: The delicate wine glass is full of mellow wine, and I am about to raise my glass to drink, but I hear the sound of playing the pipa immediately, which is urging people to set off. If you are drunk on the battlefield, please don't laugh at it, how many people can go out to fight from ancient times to the present?

The third song: "Summer Quatrain" (Song) Li Qingzhao.

Poetic: When you are alive, you should be a hero among people, and after you die, you should be a hero among ghosts. To this day, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live secretly and returned to Jiangdong.
