但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart.
独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。
A lonely stranger in a strange land I am cast, I miss my family all the more on every festive day.
大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。
The endless river eastward flows; with its huge waves are gone all those gallant heroes of bygone years.
二人同心，其利断金。
If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal. 富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能曲，此之谓大丈夫。
It is a true great man whom no money and rank can confuse, no poverty and hardship can shake, and no power and force can suffocate.
海内存知己，天涯若比邻。
A bosom friend afar brings distance near.
合抱之木，生于毫末，九层之台，起于累土；千里之行始于足下。
A huge tree that fills one’s arms grows from a tiny seedling; a nine-storied tower rises from a heap of earth; a thousand li journey starts with the first step. 祸兮，福之所依；福兮，祸之所伏。
Misfortune, that is where happiness depends; happiness, that is where misfortune underlies.
见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。
On seeing a man of virtue, try to become his equal; on seeing a man without virtue, examine yourself not to have the same defects.
江山如此多娇，引无数英雄尽折腰。
This land so rich in beauty has made countless heroes bow in homage.
举头望明月，低头思故乡。
Raising my head, I see the moon so bright; withdrawing my eyes, my nostalgia comes around.
俱往矣，数风流人物，还看今朝。
All are past and gone; we look to this age for truly great men.
君子成人之美，不成人之恶。
The gentleman helps others to achieve their moral perfection but not their evil conduct.
君子独立不惭于影，独寝不愧于魂。
A righteous man never feels ashamed to face his shadow when standing alone and to face his soul when sleeping alone.
君子之交淡如水，小人之交甘如醴。君子淡以亲，小人甘以绝。
The friendship between men of virtue is light like water, yet affectionate; the friendship between men without virtue is sweet like wine, yet easily broken. 老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼。
Expend the respect of the aged in one’s family to that of other families; expend the love of the young ones in one’s family to that of other families.
礼尚往来。往而不来，非礼也；来而不往，亦非礼也。
Propriety suggests reciprocity. It is not propriety not to give out but to receive, or vice versa.
两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。
If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?
路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。
The way ahead is long; I see no ending, yet high and low I’ll search with my will unbending.
民为贵，社稷次之，君为轻。
The people are the most important element in a state; next are the gods of land and grain; least is the ruler himself.
千丈之堤，以蝼蚁之穴溃；百尺之屋，以突隙之烟焚。
A long dike will collapse because of an ant-hole in it; a tall building will be burned down by a spark from a chimney’s chink.
锲而舍之，朽木不折，锲而不舍，金石可镂。
Carve but give up half way, even a decayed piece of wood will not break; carve without stop, even metal and stone can be engraved.
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴阳缺，此事古难全。
People have sorrow and joy; they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines; it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the olden days.
人之于文学也，犹玉之于琢磨也。
Learning and culture are to a person what polished and grinding are to jade. 三人行，必有我师焉。择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。
Among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure. Their good qualities are to be followed, and their shortcomings are to be avoided. 士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。仁以为己任，不亦重乎？死而后己，不亦远乎？
An educated gentleman cannot but be resolute and broad-minded, for he has taken up a heavy responsibility and a long course. Is it not a heavy
responsibility, which is to practice benevolence? Is it not a long course, which will end only with his death?
士之为人，当理不避其难，临患忘利，遗生行义，视死如归。
A moral intellectual is one who escapes no danger in face of truth, discards personal interests in front of disaster, practices righteousness at the expense of life, and looks upon death as going home.
逝者如斯夫！不舍昼夜。
The passage of time is just like the flow of water, which goes on day and night. 顺天者存，逆天者亡。
Those who follow the Heaven’s law will survive; those who go against it will perish.

逝者如斯夫！不舍昼夜。
The passage of time is just like the flow of water, which goes on day and night.
顺天者存，逆天者亡。
Those who follow the Heaven’s law will survive; those who go against it will perish.
天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，增益其所不能。
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his spirit, toughen his nature and enhance his abilities.
天生我才必有用。
Heaven has endowed me with talents for eventual use.
天时不如地利，地利不如人和。
Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are less important than terrestrial advantages, which in turn are less important than the unity among people.
天行健，君子以自强不息。
As Heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive along.
温故而知新，可以为师矣。
He who by reviewing the old can gain knowledge of the new and is fit to be a teacher.
物格而后知至，知至而后意诚，意诚而后心正，心正而后身修，身修而后家齐，家齐而后治国，国治而后天下平。
Things investigated, genuine knowledge acquired; genuine knowledge acquired ,thoughts purified; thoughts purified, hearts rectified; hearts rectified, personalities cultivated; personalities cultivated, families regulated; families regulated, the states well governed; the states well
governed, the whole world will be in peace and tranquil.
相见时难别亦难。
It is unbearable to meet as well as to depart.
学不可以已。青取之于蓝，而青于蓝；冰，水为之，而寒于冰。君子博学而日参省乎己，则知明而行无过矣。
There is never an end to learning. The dye extracted from the indigo is bluer than the plant; so is the ice colder than the water. By broadly learning and constantly examining himself every day, the gentleman sharpens his awareness and makes fewer mistakes.
学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
Learning without thinking leads to confusion; thinking without learning ends in danger.
学而不厌，诲人不倦。
Never be contented with your study; never be impatient with your teaching.
学如逆水行舟，不进则退。
Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.
有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。
It is such a delight to have friends coming from afar.
玉不琢，不成器。人不学，不知义。
As a jade without chiseling will not become a useful object, a man without learning will not know the Way.
欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。
We widen our views three hundred miles by ascending one flight of stairs. / Exhausting my eyes to a thousand li further, I am ascending one more story of the tower.
在天愿做比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝。
In heaven let us be two birds flying ever together, and on earth two trees with branches interlocked forever.
不登高山，不知天之厚也；不临深渊，不知地之厚也。
One can never be aware of the height of the sky or the depth of the earth, if he does not climb up a high mountain or look down into a deep abyss.
大道之行也，天下为公。
A public spirit will rule all under the sky when the great Way prevails.
大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。
The endless river eastward flows; with its huge waves are gone all those gallant heroes of
bygone years.
丹青不知老将近，富贵于我如浮云。
Absorbed in painting, you know not old age is coming; indeed, to me wealth and rank are like clouds scudding.
曲则全，枉则直，洼则盈，敝则新，少则得，多则惑。
To be part is to be whole; to be bent is to be straight; to be hollow is to be filled; to be worn out is to be renewed; to have little is to have more; to have much is to be confused.
温故而知新
Consider the past you shall know the future
前人栽树，后人乘凉
One generation plants a tree; the next sits in its shade.
大道之行也，天下为公。
When the great way is followed, all under heaven will be equal
一乡之善士斯友一乡之善士，天下之善士斯友天下之善士。
A good citizen in one community will befriend the other citizens of the community; good citizens of the world will befriend of the other citizens of the world
民可近，不可下。民惟邦本，本固邦宁。
The people should be cherished, the people are the root of a country；the root firm, the country is tranquil.
行百里者半九十。
Half of the people who have embarked on a one hundred mile journey may fall by the wayside. / The last part of an endeavor is the hardest to finish.
亦余心之所善兮，虽九死其尤未悔。
For the ideal that I hold dear to my heart, I will not regret thousand depth to die.
华山再高，顶有过路。
No matter how high the mountain is, one can always ascend to its top.
人或加讪，心无疵兮。
My conscience stays untainted in spite of rumors and slanders from the outside.
兄弟虽有小忿，不废懿亲。
Differences between brothers cannot sever their blood ties.
经典古诗英译篇五：名家古诗英译
《水调歌头》名家英译版两首
昔胡仔曾说：―中秋词，自东坡《水调歌头》一出，余词尽废。‖认为这是写中秋最好的一首词，此说是一点也不过分的。这首词仿佛是与明月的对话，在对话中探讨着人生的意义。既有理性，又有情趣，很是耐人寻味。 或许，早在我们从课本上学到《水调歌头》之前，就已经在王菲的歌声中，在各类影视剧中接触到这首词了吧。
今天，跟着小编一起，来看看这首词的两个英译版吧。分别是许渊冲先生以及林语堂先生的译作，大家更喜欢哪一个版本呢？ 《水调歌头》：
明月几时有？把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙、今夕是何年？我欲乘风归去，惟恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人间？ 转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨、何事长向别时圆？人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共蝉娟。 许渊冲先生译作：
How long will the full moon appear? Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky。 I do not know what time of the year
‘Would be tonight in the palace on high。 Riding the wind, there I would fly,
Yet I‘m afraid the crystalline palace would be Too high and cold for me。
I rise and dance, with my shadow I play。 On high as on earth, would it be as gay? The moon goes round the mansions red Through gauze-draped window soft to shed Her light upon the sleepless bed。
Why then when people part, is the oft full and bright? Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane。 There has been nothing perfect since the olden days。 So let us wish that man Will live long as he can!
Though miles apart, we‘ll share the beauty she displays。 林语堂先生译作：
How rare the moon, so round and clear! With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky, "I do not know in the celestial sphere What name this festive night goes by?" I want to fly home, riding the air, But fear the ethereal cold up there,
The jade and crystal mansions are so high! Dancing to my shadow,
I feel no longer the mortal tie。 She rounds the vermilion tower, Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines on those who sleepless lie。 Why does she, bearing us no grudge, Shine upon our parting, reunion deny? But rare is perfect happiness--
The moon does wax, the moon does wane, And so men meet and say goodbye。 I only pray our life be long,
And our souls together heavenward fly!
诗歌汉译英经典：李白两首名诗英译赏析
李白的七言绝句颇富浪漫主义情怀，豪迈奔放，率性而为。许渊冲先生的译作再现了诗作的―意美‖、―音美‖和―形美‖。
一 《望庐山瀑布》
日照香炉生紫烟，遥望瀑布挂前川。 飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。 CATARACT ON MOUNT LU
The sunlit Censer perk exhales a wreath of cloud; like an upended stream the cataract sounds loud.
Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high; As if the Silver River fell from azure sky. 赏析：原诗的第一句中一个―生‖字把静止的香炉峰写得富有了灵性。许先生同样一个"exhales"（―散发出‖或―呼出‖）也将香炉峰人格化了。"a wreath of cloud"形容―紫烟‖，其中名词"wreath"（―花环‖），有―缭绕‖以及―色彩绚丽‖的生动意向。
原诗第二句一个―挂‖字，化动为静，呼应上文。而许先生使用动词"upended"（―被倒置‖）来形容远望中的瀑布像―倒挂‖的飞流，译出了诗词的弦外之音和意境之美。
第三句中，―飞‖和―直下‖描绘出瀑布飞散而降的气势。许先生译文中以"dashes down"作谓语，既合乎主语―倒挂的飞流‖飞下的走向，又传达出瀑布凌空而落的气势。
最后一句，许先生用动词"fell"，但为虚拟语气，把现实瀑布和想象中的银河自然地联系起来。
四行诗的韵脚比较多，许先生按原诗的节奏，择用aabb尾韵。为了压好韵脚，在诗句的语序方面做了必要的调整。总之，许先生保留了原作的―形美‖和―音美‖，译品接近原诗的自然节奏。 二《黄鹤楼送孟浩然之广陵》
故人西辞黄鹤楼，烟花三月下扬州。 孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见长江天际流。
SEEING MENG HAO-RAN OFF AT YELLOW CRANE TOWER My friend has left the west where the Yellow Crane towers; For River Town green with willows and red with flowers. His lessening sail is lost in the boundless blue sky; Where I see but the endless River rolling by. 赏析：
许先生总体构思上采用译气不译字的译作手法，灵活增减词语，变换句式，使得译作画意浓厚。 细节的处理上许先生更是功力深厚。第一句"My old friend has left the west where the Yellow Crane towers"，既交代了友人东行，又道出了黄鹤楼美景，句式上颇为押韵。第二句许先生创造性地运用对称整齐的句式，"green with willows"和"red with flowers"译出了满目的春色。许先生在三、四句的表达方式上做了大胆调整，把―尽‖字前移，使之更符合英语的表达习惯，同时还添加了几个不影响深层意义且注有韵脚的词语，如"his"，"where I see"，勾画除了诗人目送行舟，江边怅惘的心情。"His lessening sail is lost in the boundless blue sky"表现出诗人看着小船渐渐消失在远方时心中的感伤之情。
唐宋词中词牌名的英语翻译
词是韵文文体之一，又称―曲子词‖，即歌词。它本来是为配乐歌唱而写的诗。由于它是配乐歌唱的，所以每首词都有或至少曾经有过一个乐谱。每个乐谱都必定属于某种宫调(类似今天的C调、G调之类)，有一定的旋律、节奏，这些东西的总和就是词调。每种词调都有一个名称(如《西江月》、《清平乐》)，这个名称就叫―词牌‖。 词始于唐，盛于宋，是一种脍炙人口的文学表达形式，历来为人们所钟爱。为把中华文化中这一绮丽的瑰宝译介到国外，不少译者已进行了大量开拓性的艰辛劳动，其中不乏精美传神叹为观止之作。然而，词的翻译比之散文小说确似更难，尤其是词牌名的翻译。
尽管就大多数词作来说，词牌与音乐或词中的内容关系不大，作者填词时，只视哪种词调形式更符合自己的需要，完全可以不去考虑词牌名称的原有含义和原来词曲的内容。因此词牌在一般意义上不过是标明作者依哪一种现成的曲谱进行填词而已。然而将词牌名译成英文时就不能不在传达词牌的神韵和美感的同时考虑它的历史来源和反映在其中的格律了。
下面试就词牌的几种常见的英译方法略抒浅见。 一、一般性词牌名的译法
一般性词牌名没有什么历史典故，或有，但已无从考证，或取自前人的某个词句，或只是一个风雅的名词而已。在这种情况下，按字面意思直译成英文，即可较好地保留原文的风格，传达原文的神韵和美感形象。例如： 鹧鸪天 Partridge Sky
踏莎行 Treading On Grass 相见欢 Joy At Meeting 点绦唇 Rouged Lips
满江红 The River All Red 模鱼儿 Groping For Fish 最高楼 The Highest Tower 疏影 Space Shadows
玉楼春 Spring In Jade Pavilion 昼夜乐 Joy Of Day And Night
西江月 The Moon Over The West River 风入松 Wind Through Pines 双双燕 A Pair Of Sparrows
二、"歌"、"词"、"歌头"、"吟"等词牌名的译法
1．常带"歌"、"词"、"子"的词牌，不妨直译成"Song"，既简单明了，又贴切自然。例如： 子夜歌 Midnight Song
洞仙歌 Song Of A Fairy In The Cave 柳枝词 Willow Branch Song 算子 Song Of Divination 天仙子 Song Of Immortal
更漏子 Song Of Water Clock At Night 南歌子 A Southern Song
2．词牌子带"吟"一类的较"歌"、"词"更为典雅，是一种便于吟诵、格调高雅、节奏舒缓的诗体，译成"Chant"，可以显得庄重端方，因为英语中的"Chant"多指宗教中的赞美诗或圣歌，意思与"吟"很相近。例如： 水龙吟 Water Dragon Chant
瑞龙吟 Auspicious Dragon Chant
3．"歌头"意即前奏或序曲，可译成"Prelude"。例如： 水调歌头 Prelude To Water Melody
三、"令"、"引"、"近"、"慢"等词牌名的译法
有一些词牌末带有"令"、"引"、"近"、"慢"等术语。"令"与酒令有关，是一种比较接近民歌的抒情小曲；"引"集歌体与诗体于一身，也是这类诗歌诗曲调的演化；"慢"有篇幅较长、语言节奏舒缓、韵脚间隔较大等特点；"近"有亲昵、浅显的意思，可能与令、引等一样与曲调有关，指一种篇幅较"令"长而又不如"慢"曲那么典雅庄重的曲调。从字数上讲，大体上说，"令"多半属于"小令"范围，"引"、"近"多半属于"中调"范围，"慢"则绝大多数是"长调"。所以译成英文时可视具体情况译成"Song"；"Slow Song"；"Slow Tune"或"Slow，Slow Song"。例如； 调笑令 Song Of Flirtation 唐多令 Tang Duo Song
祝英台令 Slow Song Of Zhu Ying Tai 扬州慢 Slow Tune Of Yangzhou 声声慢 Slow, Slow Song
四、"摊破"、"促拍"、"减字"、"偷声"等词牌名的译法
"摊破"(又名"摊声"、"添字")和"促拍"这两个术语都表示在原调基础上加了字、句。而"减字"、"偷声"则是在原调基础上减少了字句，而另成新调。"摊破"和"减字"是就字数而言，而"促拍"和"偷声"是就调而言。所以"摊破"可译成"Lengthened Form"，"促拍"可译成"Quickened Tune"，"减字"则可译成"Shortened Form，"，"偷声"则可译成"Slowed Tune"。例如：
减字木兰花 Shortened Form Of Lily Magnolia Flowers 摊破浣溪沙 Lengthened Form Of Silk-Washing Stream 五、根源于历史掌故的词牌名的译法
据考证，词调有五种来源：1．边疆民族曲调或域外音乐传入内地的；2．内地民歌曲调；3．乐工歌妓们创制或改制的曲调；4．宫廷音乐机构或词曲家根据古曲、大曲改制的；5．文人创作的曲子。正因为词调来源广泛，所以词牌的意思也很复杂。因此，有些词牌是不能根据字面直译的，而应在考释它的来历后再行动笔。 例如：《苏幕遮》原本是指从今天新疆吐鲁番(古高昌)传来的"浑脱"舞曲。"浑脱"是"囊袋"的意思。
据说，舞时舞者用油囊装水，互相泼洒，所以唐人又称之为"泼寒胡戏"。表演者为了不使冷水浇到头面，就戴上一种涂了油的帽子，高昌语叫"苏幕遮"，因而乐曲和后来依曲填出的词就被称为《苏幕遮》了。有人将它译成"Screened By Southern Curtain"，就是没考虑到它的来源而望文生义译出来的，尤其是"Southern"一词不知从何而来。据此，我以为直译成"Oiled Hat"未免太俗，不如译成"Water-bag Dance"。这样既点明了是舞曲，又可使读者领略到舞蹈的内容和形象。
《菩萨蛮》据考证原是今缅甸境内古代罗摩国的乐曲，后经汉族乐工改制而来的。唐苏鹗从《杜阳杂编》说："大中(唐宣宗年号)初，女蛮国贡双龙犀……其国．人危髻金冠，缨珞被体，故谓之菩萨蛮。当时倡优遂制菩萨蛮曲；文人亦往往声其词。"可见《菩萨蛮》中的菩萨与我们的佛祖菩萨(Buddha或Buddhist Idol)并无关系，词牌的意思是"象菩萨似的蛮国人"。有人将其译成"Buddhist Dancers"，真是差之毫厘失之千里!因为形容词"Buddhist"是"佛的，佛教的"意思，译回成中文就是"佛的舞者"，佛教中有没有舞者尚且不论，光意思就南辕北辙。如译成"Dancers Like Buddha"或"Buddha-like Dancer 还勉强过得去，或干脆译为"Song Of The Country Norm"，既简单又明了，只是失去了菩萨这个形象。
又如《念奴娇》，念奴为唐玄宗天宝年间一著名歌妓，玄宗时常诏见命歌，曲名本此。如果不知此曲底里，将它译成"Dreaming Of Her Charm"那就令人捧腹了。 有人将它译成"Charm Of A Maiden Singer，"歌手"和"娇"都译出来了，可我认为Maiden一词用得不恰当。"Maiden"一词在英文中是"处女"或"未婚女子"的意思，把它用在古时的歌妓身上未免太圣洁了，不如去掉"Malden"，译成"Charm Of A Singer"。"Charm"多指女子的妩媚，所以大可不必担心读者会弄错。"Singer"的性别。从这个意义上讲，"Maiden"也可删去，当然若将其换译成"Woman"也未尝不可。这里还牵涉到专有名词的译法，"念奴"这个名字对于大多数中国人尚且陌生，更不用说外国人了，译出来也不一定知道，反而妨碍意思的理解，故此处可撇下不管，用"A Singer"代替即可。类似的情况都可如此处理：如《昭君怨》就可译成"Lament Of A Fair Lady"。也可用加注的办法，如《虞美人》就可译成"The Beautiful Lady Yu"，这样外国人就知道是一个姓虞的美人了。
《葬花吟》中英对照赏析及曹雪芹英文简介
葬花吟
(清) 曹雪芹
花谢花飞飞满天，红绡香断有谁怜？ 游丝软系飘春榭，落絮轻沾扑绣帘。 闺中女儿惜春暮，愁绪满怀无处诉。 手把花锄出绣帘，忍踏落花来复去。 柳丝榆荚自芳菲，不管桃飘与李飞。 桃李明年能再发，明岁闺中知是谁？ 三月香巢初垒成，梁间燕子太无情！
明年花发虽可啄，却不道人去梁空巢也倾！ 一年三百六十日，风刀霜剑严相逼。 明媚鲜妍能几时，一朝飘泊难寻觅。 花开易见落难寻，阶前愁杀葬花人。 独把花锄偷洒泪，洒上空枝见血痕。 Song of the Burial of Flowers Cao Xueqin [Qing Dynasty]
Flowers fade and fall and fly about up in the sky,
But who pities the loss of your fragrance when you die? Like gossamer you float and land on pavilions, With your fallen petals clung soft to fine curtains. In my boudoir I sigh over the close of spring,
But there‘s no way to express my sorrowful feeling. Spade in hand, I go out from under my fine curtain, To and fro on fallen petals, how can I bear treading?
Willow twigs and elm buds send sweet scents as they may, Who cares when peach and plum petals are in decay? Next year peach and plum trees will be in bloom again, But who will be the master of my boudoir then?
杜鹃无语正黄昏，荷锄归去掩重门。 青灯照壁人初睡，冷雨敲窗被未温。 怪侬底事倍伤神，半为怜春半恼春。 怜春忽至恼忽去，至又无语去不闻。 昨宵庭外悲歌奏，知是花魂与鸟魂？ 花魂鸟魂总难留，鸟自无语花自羞。 愿侬此日生双翼，随花飞到天尽头。 天尽头！何处有香丘？
未若锦囊收艳骨，一杯净土掩风流。 质本洁来还洁去，强于污淖陷渠沟。 尔今死去侬收葬，未卜侬身何日丧？ 侬今葬花人笑痴，他年葬侬知是谁？ 试看春残花渐落，便是红颜老死时。 一朝春尽红颜老，花落人亡两不知！
In March lunar swallows have got their nests ready, They on the beam seem to be those without mercy.
Next year in their flight, fresh flowers they may peck, though, All that they and I have will be lost, they never know. There are three hundred and sixty days in one year, With you the elements of nature are severe.
Time is not long for you to be bright and charming, Your trace and track are hard to find in your drifting. You are easy to see when open but hard when fallen,
Before the stairs I am worried where to find your remains. Against the spade I lean and in secret weep sudden,
Splashed on your bare branches are my tears like bloodstains. The cuckoo ceases its warbling at twilight,
With my spade I return and shut the doors tight. I go to bed with a lone oil lamp still shining, My quilt is not warm when a cold rain is falling. I feel at heart it is a matter quite nerve-racking, For I like spring or I feel sad over its leaving. Spring I love and my sorrow repair at a fast pace, They come silent and go without leaving a trace. Last night beyond pavilions sad song seemed rising, Was it the souls of flowers or birds that were singing? It is always hard to ask their souls to stay behind, That birds are silent and flowers feel ashamed, I find. I wish to have two wings under my arms to fly, After you unto the farthest end of the sky. At the farthest end of the sky,
Where can I find the grave of your fragrance lie? Better in silk to shroud your petals fair, With a handful of clean earth as your attire. For pure you have come and pure you repair, Lest you fall into some foul ditch or mire. I hold a burial when you die today,
But there‘s no telling when I pass away. Others laugh at me that have buried thee, Who will be the one that shall bury me? At the farthest end of the sky,
Where can I find the grave of my fragrance lie? The end of spring makes flowers fall one by one, It‘s also the time when beauty meets its doom. Once beauty is carried to its very tomb,
Both beauty and flowers perish known to none.
The poet and the background note: Cao Xueqin (? ~1764) was one of the most famous novelists and poets in the history of Chinese literature. Born in an influential Manchurian bureaucratic family, he had high cultural
accomplishments and outstanding competence for art. During the reign of the Qing Emperor Yongzheng, his father was involved in a political struggle within the ruling class, defeated, so his family suffered a heavy blow both politically and financially. Thereafter, his family circumstances deteriorated. However, adversity brought talent in return. It was when he was plunged in such an embarrassing circumstance that he had the chance to contact himself with the underprivileged of the then society, thus giving him specific, intense experience, and enabling himself to see better of life. He spent as was recorded, at least ten years busying himself with the production of the novel The Dream of the Red Chamber, in which, through a detailed description of the rise and fall of an influential noble family of that time, he created a great number of typical characters, conducted in-depth analyses and criticisms of the then evil society and, at the same time, sang ebullient praises of both the male and female youths who were considered heretical in pursuit of love. The Dream of the Red Chamber is seen as a great realistic masterpiece among the Chinese classic novels. But the novel reveals a kind of pessimism and sentimentalism past cure. With the tone of Lin Daiyu, one of the heroines in The Dream of the Red Chamber, the author Cao Xueqin blended human feelings with nature in this novel as if in confirmation of man‘s helplessness in the presence of the change of nature and the flight of time. As is known to all that have read it, Lin is a sentimentalist who, taking as part of her life the enjoyment of flowers and moonlight, tends to shed tears at the sight of flowers falling, and feel sad when finding the moon waning. In fact, Flowers bloom and then flowers die, There‘s no need for her to give a sigh. It is the very law of nature, she ought not to take pains to bother. Relentless away time flies,

远的不说。江泽民1997年11月1日在哈佛大学演讲，2002年10月21日在布什图书馆演讲，都引用了一些中国古话。如“天人合一”，译为“Heaven and man are one”这是最简洁的译法。但有时需要解释一下。中国古时所说的“天”，或许指god，或许指nature。至于man，指“人类”，对女权主义者只好说声对不起了.如“和为贵”，译为“Peace is precious”。但演讲中提到“以诚为本，以和为贵、以信为先”。这种排比修辞法，如果一定要把“本”、“贵”、“先”分别译出，未免累赘，所以不如译为“Honesty, peace and good faith are the most prized values”。如“君子和而不同”，这里“和”的意思又不一样，译为“Gentlemen seek harmony but not uniformity.当然，在不同场合，“和”可有其他各种译法，特别是作为形容词，可译friendly, amiable, kind, good-natured等等此外，“君子和而不同”讲的是人际关系，为了使译文容易懂，也可考虑加上in human relationships这个状语今年六、七月间，温家宝赴港出席香港回归祖国六周年庆祝时，引用了清末爱国诗人黄遵宪(1848-1905)的四句诗赠梁任父同年: 寸寸河山寸寸金， 瓜离分裂力谁任？ 杜鹃再拜忧天泪， 精卫无穷填海心。To My Friend Liang QichaoAn inch of our land is worth so much gold, Who can stop the splitting of the national fold? The fabled cuckoo weeping blood at China’s woe, and the Jingwei bird filling the sea with pebbles untold.这是黄于1896年(光绪22年丙申)书赠梁启超的诗之一。首句直白自明。二句谁能担负制止国土分裂的重任。三句典出古蜀国望帝(名杜宇)死后化为杜鹃鸟，一再哀鸣忧国泣血。四句典出炎帝小女溺死东海化为精卫鸟，坚持衔木石欲填海，永无止息黄遵宪痛心于英占香港(1842)、日占台湾(1895)，在诗中用比喻法呼吁国人像杜鹃一样忧国，像精卫一样坚持努力，以制止国土分裂温总理引用此诗，也是勉励港人共同为“一国”而努力对于古诗文中的典故，如果是学术性的翻译，通常做法是原样译出，附加注释。我译此诗，鉴于不能加注，在第二行用了national fold,在第三行用了at China’s woe，以最少的加添译文点明了国土和国难的意思。fold本意是“羊栏”，西方说religious fold则特义为教会及其全教信陡；我用national fold则为“民族家国”的创意。而且fold和第一行的gold押韵。末行如果听者深究起来，还是需要另加解释，这是没有办法的。untold用以译“无穷”，它和gold与fold押韵即是译诗，多少总要译出一点英诗的味道。大家知道，中国旧诗用平仄表达韵律，英诗则用轻重音表达韵律。译文' 第一行五个重音inch, land, worth, much, gold
大体为抑扬格五言步。第二行五个重音who, stop, split,(of) na, fold。第三行六个重音fable, cu, weep, blood, chi, woe。第四行六个重音Jing, bird, ling, sea, pebbles, fold此外，一、二、四行有同样韵脚将中国古诗文译英，首先要理解中文原件的内容、背景、意味和修辞特点。除译者需有一定的古诗文根底外，常备好的辞书，有时得请教专家。口译人员平时需要随时注意收录好的译法以供参考，因为他们往住没有时间去推敲查询。! 在英语表达方面，我的经验是要学会用最简单易懂的词汇和充分利用英语中关系代词、分词、介词等所谓虚词。 作为英语的诗行要反复诵读和改动，利用倒装和省略等手法，做到大体上轻重音相间的抑扬格韵律。至于脚韵，能做到更好，不能做到也不要紧，因为现代无脚韵的自由诗体英诗很流行。 中国旧体诗译英还有其他一些问题，如中文里缺少主语、缺少单复数的区别、缺少动词、关系不明确、某些特有的中国事物不好表达等，这里无法细说。《外语教学与研究》1991年3期刊有我的“李白送友人一诗的英译研究”一文，可以参考。

游子吟
孟郊
慈 母 手 中 线， 游 子 身 上 衣。 临 行 密 密 缝， 意 恐 迟 迟 归。 谁 言 寸 草 心， 报 得 三 春 晖。
静 夜 思 - 李 白 床 前 明 月 光 ， 疑 是 地 上 霜 。 举 头 望 明 月 ， 低 头 思 故 乡 。
赠 汪 伦 --- 李 白 李 白 乘 舟 将 欲 行 ，忽 闻 岸 上 踏 歌 声 。桃 花 潭 水 深 千 尺 ，不 及 汪 伦 送 我 情 。
鹿 柴 --- 王 维 空 山 不 见 人 ， 但 闻 人 语 响 。 返 景 入 深 林 ， 复 照 青 苔 上 。
A thread is in my fond mother's hand moving. For her son to wear the clothes ere leaving. With her whole heart she's sewing and sewing. For fear I'll e'er be roving and roving. Who says the little soul of grass waving. Could for the warmth repay the sun of spring. Thoughts in the Silent Night --- Li Bai Beside my bed a pool of light--- Is it hoarfrost on the ground? I lift my eyes and see the moon, I bend my head and think of home. To Wang Lun --- Li Bai I'm on board; We're about to sail, When there's stamping and singing on shore; Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, Yet not so deep,Wang Lun,as your love for me. The Deer Enclosure --- Wang Wei Empty the hills,no man in sight, Yet voices echo here; Deep in the woods slanting sunlight, Falls on the jade-green moss. 1
清 明 --- 杜 牧
清明时节雨纷纷， 路上行人欲断魂。 借问酒家何处有， 牧童遥指杏花村。
鸟 鸣 涧 --- 王 维 人 闲 桂 花 落， 夜 静 春 山 空。 月 出 惊 山 鸟， 时 鸣 春 涧 中。
竹 里 馆 --- 王 维 独 坐 幽 篁 里， 弹 琴 复 长 啸。 深 林 人 不 知， 明 月 来 相 照。
In the Rainy Season of Spring --- Du Mu It drizeles endlessly during the rainy season in spring, Travellers along the road look gloomy and miserable. When I ask a shepherd boy where I can find a tavern, He points at a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms. The Gully of Twittering Birds --- Wang Wei Idly I watch the cassia petals fall; Silent the night and empty the spring hills; The rising moon startles the mountain birds; Which twitter fitfully in the spring gully. The Bamboo Lodge --- Wang wei Seated alone by shadowy bamboos, I strum my lyre and laugh aloud; None knows that I am here, deep in the woods; Only the bright moon comes to shine on me. 2
轻轻的我走了，
正如我轻轻的来； 我轻轻的招手， 作别西天的云彩。 那河畔的金柳 是夕阳中的新娘 波光里的艳影， 在我的心头荡漾。 软泥上的青荇，
油油的在水底招摇； 在康河的柔波里， 我甘心做一条水草 那榆荫下的一潭，
不是清泉，是天上虹 揉碎在浮藻间，
沉淀着彩虹似的梦。 寻梦？ 撑一支长篙， 向青草更青处漫溯， 满载一船星辉，
在星辉斑斓里放歌
但我不能放歌，
悄悄是别离的笙箫； 夏虫也为我沉默，
沉默是今晚的康桥！
悄悄的我走了，
正如我悄悄的来； 我挥一挥衣袖，
不带走一片云彩。
Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky. The golden willows by the riverside Are young brides in the setting sun; Their reflections on the shimmering waves Always linger in the depth of my heart. The floatingheart growing in the sludge Sways leisurely under the water; In the gentle waves of Cambridge I would be a water plant! That pool under the shade of elm trees Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky; Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream? To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream To where the green grass is more verdant; Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight. But I cannot sing aloud Quietness is my farewell music; Even summer insects heep silence for me Silent is Cambridge tonight! Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Gently I flick my sleeves Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away 3
花非花
唐 白居易
花非花， 雾非雾。 夜半来，
天明去。
来如春梦不多时， 去似朝云无觅处。
梅花 (宋)王安石
墙角数枝梅， 凌寒独自开。 遥知不是雪， 为有暗香来。
Hua Fei Hua by Tang Bo Ju Yi Call it flower - 'tis not a flower; Call it foggy mist - 'tis none such either. It comes in the dead of the night And takes flight the moment dawn alights; It stays no longer than a dream in spring, Departs like the fleeting early morning clouds - And is seen no more. Plum Blossoms By Wang Anshi At a wall corner some plum trees grow; Alone against cold white blossoms blow. Aloof one knows they aren't the snow, As faint through air soft fragrances flow. 4
