被遗忘的译者——朱育琳与波德莱尔

Zhu Yulin,an Underground Translator of Baudelaire

朱育琳是1960—1970年代一个活跃于上海的文学小组的领袖,也是一位波德莱尔的秘密译者。他翻译的《恶之花》仅有八首留存于世。但从保存下来的译稿来看,朱育琳对源语言和目的语的语言特点、诗歌传统与文化背景了如指掌,译诗的目标十分明确,加上个人经历的苦难,使他的译诗在忠实与创造之间张弛有度,具有一个时代的特色,但同时也存在一些问题。朱育琳译《恶之花》不但能启发我们对翻译艺术的思考,也有助于更新我们对当代翻译史的认识。

Zhu Yulin was the leader of a literary group in Shanghai in the 1960s,and also a secret translator of Baudelaire.He translated The Flowers of Evil,but only eight of his poem translations can be read today.With good knowledge of both two languages,poetic traditions and cultures,Zhu,inspired by his personal pain,produced an excellent translation walking between fidelity and freedom.His translation not only allows us to reflect upon the art of translation,but also updates our understanding of contemporary translation history.
