“三美论”视角下对比赏析When We Two Parted的汉译本——以查良铮和陈锡麟的译本为例

Comparative Appreciation of Chinese Trans-lations of When We Two Parted from the Perspective of “Three Beauties Theory”—Taking the Translations of Zha Liangzheng and Chen Xilin as Examples

“三美论”是许渊冲先生提出的翻译理论,所谓的“三美”指的是意美、音美和形美。本文以许渊冲先生的“三美论”为理论指导,对比赏析查良铮和陈锡麟对乔治•戈登•拜伦诗歌When We Two Parted的两个中译本。从意美、音美和形美三个层面,对比赏析两个中译本对原文意境、诗歌节奏和尾韵以及诗歌形式上的再现。在诗歌汉译中,三美难以兼顾,译者在进行翻译时要分清主次,原则是意美大于音美,音美大于形美。

“Three Beauties Theory” is a translation theory put forward by Mr. Xu Yuanchong. The so-called “Three Beauties” refers to the beauty of sense, sound and form. Under the guidance of Mr. Xu Yu-anchong’s “Three Beauties Theory”, this paper compares the two Chinese translations of George Gordon Byron’s poetry When We Two Parted by Zha Liangzheng and Chen Xilin. From the three as-pects of beauty of sense, beauty of sound and beauty of form, this paper compares and appreciates the reproduction of the original artistic conception, poetic rhythm and rhyme, and poetic form in the two Chinese translations. In the Chinese translation of poetry, it is difficult to take into account the three beauties, the translator should distinguish the priority, the principle is that the beauty of sense is greater than the beauty of sound, and the beauty of sound is greater than the beauty of form.
