以思乡为主题的唐诗英译风格对比研究

论文摘要

本文主要对思乡类唐诗的英译风格进行初步探讨。文章从唐诗英译中最受关注的“意象”翻译和“三美”翻译理论出发,回顾古今中外译者对于“意象”的翻译和“三美”翻译理论的看法,引出本文研究的唐诗英译理论。诗歌是语言的艺术与精髓,而意象是诗歌鉴赏的灵魂与钥匙,所以意象是否传译到位是古诗英译中“意美”能否顺利传达的关键所在。本文立足中国传统的意象理论,结合中外学者从意象角度研究诗歌翻译的成果,对英译唐诗中意象的可译性、翻译原则和策略进行了初步的系统研究。文中还引述了许渊冲教授的“三美”翻译理论:充分体现“美化之艺术,创优之竞赛”在唐诗英译中的重要性和必要性。本文试图通过总结以思乡为主题的唐诗英译的成功经验,为我国翻译事业的多元化发展添砖加瓦。
