許淵衝譯蘇東坡詩詞：漢、英

像詩經那樣語言相對樸實原始的，大體還是可以譯出感覺的，但是對於唐詩宋詞這種高度講究字數，平仄，聲韻，追求形，聲，意完美融合的體裁，即使是許淵衝，還是不可避免地差點意思。 不過大家還是大家，有一些譯得還是比較有感覺的： Where will the flickering lamp shed its lonely light Tonight? When autumn rain no longer falls drop by drop, Oh, will tears stop? We gazed at each other hushed, But tears from our eyes gushed. Listen not to the rain beating against the trees. I had better walk slowly while chanting at ease. Better than a saddle I like sandals and cane. I’d fain, In a straw cloak, spend my life in mist and rain.   Drunken, I am sobered by the vernal wind shrill And rather chill. In front, I see the slanting sun atop the hill; Turning my head, I see the dreary beaten track. Let me go back! Impervious to rain or shine, I’ll have my own will. Of spring’s three graces, Two have gone with the roadside dust, And one with the waves. If you just Take a close look, you will never Find catkins but tears of those who sever, Which drop by drop Fall without stop.

我家裏也有這樣的書，但是不會看電子書，覺得不好看

這本書太好了，許老譯得好，蘇軾寫得更好
