昆曲曲律与《牡丹亭》之《惊梦》曲词英译

The Translation of the Lines of Kunqu Opera in Relation to its Rules:A Case Study of "An Interrupted Dream" of "The Peony Pavilion"

文章以《惊梦》曲词为研究范本,探讨昆曲曲律与英诗格律之相通性。尽管昆曲曲词与英诗之语言载体迥异,但其艺术表现力之共性则为可译。昆曲曲词翻译原则在于昆曲曲词原文与译文实现"交际性对等"。该原则在《惊梦》部分曲词自译版本中得以体现与检验。

This paper probes into the interrelation between the rules of Kunqu Opera and the scheme of English poems through a case study of ＂An Interrupted Dream＂. The writer points out that there are shared features between the two despite the differences of linguistic carriers and that the translation of lines are consequently expected to comply with the rules of ＂interactive equivalence＂. In this paper, all examples are translated by the writer of this paper in which the proposed principle of related translation is fully applied and the effect is to be examined.
