从诗歌的不同翻译看意义的不确定性和开放性

The Uncertainty and Open-endedness of Meaning——an Analysis of Different Translations of Poems

语言具有多义性,而诗歌的语言具有其自身的特色,这必然导致译本的多样化。文章重点讨论Gutt关于意义的不确定性和开放性思想,通过对诗歌不同翻译的分析,从一个侧面阐发了诗歌翻译中异人异译现象存在的理论依据,从而表明了诗歌的翻译是灵活而开放的。

Language is polysemous, and the poetry possesses its own characteristics. Therefore, it is inevitable that the version is diverse. This paper focuses on Gutt＇ s notion of the Uncertainty and Open-endedness of Meaning. Through the analysis of several versions, it provides the theoretical grounds for the phenomenon that different translators will produce different translations, hence it holds that poem translation is flexible and open-ended.
