梅 意 沧 桑 (二)


移栽出我的名字

这奇异的木本植物

枝向天空迎接雪花

花飘尘土寻找眼睛

断了 梅的枝

流了 我的血

梅啊

靠着我的身体做梦

梦着诗人的苍凉

梦出世界的清芬

The Transformation of the Plum Tree


Part of my name and be planted

The supernatural plant

branches , up to meet the snowflakes

Blossoms , down to search for eyes

Broken , the branches of the plum tree

Flowing , the blood of mine

Oh , the plum tree

Dreaming against my body

Dreaming of the poet's vastitude and loneliness

Dreaming of the fragrance of the world

赞赏你的契而不舍的精神。

读了几遍,心有余而力不足,不知从何下手。等其他高手吧。

看到題目,我立即想到可以翻成
The vicissitudes of a plum tree's intention
但一想不對,vicissitudes意思是境況的改變,盛衰,說the vicissitudes of a plum tree可以,梅的意圖如何滄桑法?
到詩的內容了,第一行就令人無從下手。“移栽出我的名字”是什麽意思?
“根向天空迎接雪花”?梅的枝吧?
那梅要麽在枝頭,要麽掉到了地上,那“我的骨头”是指那梅枝還是土地?

回戴先生:

"移载出我的名字"意为木本植物移栽出"周道模" 之 "模"。

“梅意沧桑”是审美逻辑而非科学逻辑。

“根向天空寻找雪花”仍是审美逻辑。

谢谢置疑!

是說那被移栽後的植物的形狀像“模”字?

我當然明白你的意圖,只是英語邏輯性遠比漢語強,照翻出來效果會相當古怪。如果我來翻譯這首詩,多半會有類似非馬先生這帖子裏描述的感受:

戴先生点到要害处了。读了非马先生的文章和译诗,才知“梅意沧桑”在汉语中都只能“意

会”不能“言传”,更不能翻成英语了。今后要选“意象单纯”、“诗意清晰”、情思具有

“普适性”的诗来翻。

感谢 Lake ! 就像戴先生这样,今后请用以英语为母语读者的眼光来评。不仅求“信”而

还要求英语的地道。还有漫长的路要走啊!

从理论上来说,我们以英语为外语的人只能“英诗译汉诗”。

“汉译英”只能请英语为母语的汉学家来做。

散文和小说要容易些,诗歌尤难翻。

各位多介绍经验啊!

其實反過來也一樣,有些英語詩歌勉強翻成漢語讀起來也會很別扭,甚至詩意全沒了。

所以有人说诗歌根本不能翻,但为了交流又不得不翻。假如不翻译西方诗歌,中国又哪有现

代新诗呢?

我的英文水平是不足以译诗的,但我看到你们的交流很有意思。我想到鲁迅的俄文翻译,就有很多人批评,说是“硬译”。是啊,语言的东西,包含着一个民族的文化、思维,以及审美,比科学的东西还复杂。

欢迎杯中冲浪参与讨论.

没有绝对的好,只有相对的好.

何况中国引进外国文学作品多,向外介绍本国文学作品少,更应该加强汉译英工作.

oo66君翻出旧作,迫使我再下功夫修改。

这首汉语诗写一种迷幻的感觉,很难翻,翻出来就迷惑了西方人,也许他们会不懂地认为:

“这是东方的神秘主义”。

先修改了个别汉语词句,英文增加连接词,多用句子,少用短语,清晰其逻辑性。再请专家点拨。
