英诗美学认知及汉译创造空间

Aesthetic Cognition of English Poems and the Room of Creation in Chinese Translation

诗在理论上是不可翻译的,因为各种语言的语音系统、构词和语言结构系统都不相同;然而,从思果的"翻译不是翻译,是重写"和奈达的翻译过程中重组的观点来看,译诗又是可能的。但翻译决不是对原诗的克隆,而是对原诗的阐释和重组、再创造。从众多译家对莎士比亚十四行诗的翻译实践看,诗歌翻译有很大的创造空间。诗歌翻译要以诗译诗,做到情真、象美、意藏、言凝。一味模仿原诗格律,翻译出的作品将会不伦不类;而遵循汉语语言规律,跳出原文形式的束缚,译作就会创造出一片新天地。

Theoretically, poems are intranslatable because of the differences in phonetics, lexicology, syntex structures between different languages. It is impossible to colong the poems of one language in another language. However, by viewes of Si Guo, who insists that translating is rewriting, and Nida, who proposes the process of translation in which the last stage of translation is restructuring, it is possible to turn the poems from one language into another. But the translation is the rewriting or restructuring or creation of the poems in the target language instead of the colong of the source poems. Dozens of translators have translated Shakespeare＇ s Sonets into Chi- nese and some of them did it successfully. The diiferent translations of the poem demonstrates that there is great space of creativity in translation of poems. Imitating the rhythems, rhymes and meters of the source poems will produces the bad translation while shaking off the fetters of the forms of the source poems will give translators greater freedom and enable them to produce better translation.
