月落烏啼霜滿天﹐江楓漁火對愁眠。姑蘇城外寒山寺﹐夜半鐘聲到客船。
1) Anchored Overnight at Maple Bridge
Crows caw the moon set frost fills the sky 中間應該用逗號

4) A Night Mooring by the Maple Bridge
The moon drooped low and crows cawed in the frosty sky,
Staring at riverside maple trees and lights on fishing boats is my melancholy
sleeplessness. 太長。原文無失眠之意
From the Cold Mountain Temple in the Suzhou environs
Came the midnight toll all the way to visitors' boats telling time. 不簡
潔。不是喪鐘
(tr. by 南緯28° )
5) A NIGHT-MOORING NEAR MAPLE BRIDGE
While I watch the moon go down, a crow caws through the frost; 不確切
Under the shadows of maple-trees a fisherman moves with his torch; 錯譯

Anchoring by Maple Bridge at Night
The moon sets, crows caw and frost all over the sky;
With riverside maples, fishermen's lamps, I sleep in woe.
From Cold Mountain Temple outside City Gusu,
Comes the midnight bell to the traveler's boat.

評(宋)王安石“梅花”3 種英譯
牆角數枝梅﹐凌寒獨自開。遙知不是雪﹐為有暗香來。

Even from afar they cannot be mistaken for snow,
For a delicate fragrance comes wafting with the breeze.原文沒提風

3) MUME BLOSSOMS----MUME﹖

評王昌齡“出塞”3 種英譯
秦時明月漢時關， 萬里長征人未還。 但使龍城飛將在， 不教胡馬渡陰山。
1) OVER THE BORDER
The moon goes back to the time of Qin, the wall to the time of Han, 不確
切。見下面分析
And the road our troops are travelling goes back three hundred miles 錯譯
Oh, for the Winged General at the Dragon City -- 不確切
That never a Tartar horseman might cross the Yin Mountains! 不很確切
(梧桐鳳舞)丙等
2)Out of a Frontier Fortress 不確切
The same moon and the same pass as in Han and Qin, 見下面分析
Yet fighters from afar have not chalked up a win.不確切
Would that the Winged General Li were now still 翻譯裡不能這樣分行
Living, to drive Hun horsemen off Mountain Yin!不確切
(陳君朴)丙等
3) Over the Border
The same moon of ancient Qin also shined on the same fort of historic Han,
不確切。見下面分析
Hardly any made a return from thousand-league marching expedition.
If only the Winged General of Han were around to fight the township of Basilisk,
不簡潔
The barbarians and their horses would never have dared to cross the Mountains
of Yin. 不簡潔
(南緯28° )丙+
本人譯文﹕
Across the Pass
Under the moon of Qin or at the pass of Han,
Those, fighting myriad miles away, not return yet.
The "flying" general of Dragon City, if still here,
Wouldn't let Tartar cavalry cross Mt. Yin.
說明﹕秦時的明月與漢時的關之間應該沒什麼直接關係﹐它們都與下句有關。說明
在不同時代不同情況下﹐都有人萬里長征而未還。第三句可以譯成﹕If the flying
general of Dragon City were still here, He wouldn't let ... 但現在譯文更
簡潔。雖然省掉了were﹐沒人會誤解這不是虛擬句。要譯得比這個更簡潔恐怕不可
能了。所以翻譯只要達意即可﹐決不必拘泥於一般語法規則。詩有自己的規律。

評王之渙“出塞”2 種英譯
黃河遠上白雲間， 一片孤城萬仞山。 羌笛何須怨楊柳， 春風不度玉門關。
1) BEYOND THE BORDER
Where a yellow river climbs to the white clouds, 不確切
Near the one city-wall among ten-thousand-foot mountains,
A Tartar under the willows is lamenting on his flute 錯譯
That spring never blows to him through the Jade Pass----TO HIM 多餘
(translator unknown)丙-
2) Over the Border
The Yellow River into the clouds winds and undulates, 不確切
One lone township lies among towering mountain ranges.
Why play the lamenting Willow Ballad on your Jiang flutes,
When you know the Gate of Jade spring and barrenness separates. 不確切
(南緯28° )丙+
本人譯文﹕
Across the Pass
The Yellow River looks far up in white clouds,
The single town among hills myriad feet high.
Tartar flute mustn't play plaintive tune of "Willow Snapping",
Since the spring wind never crossing the Jade Gate Pass.
總結﹕本人收集評論了許多中外人士翻譯的古人詩﹐也看到過許多譯詩﹐雖然沒有
全部收集評論。本人只能對這些譯詩得出如下結論﹕按簡潔確切達意原則看﹐基本
沒有能達到這個標準的譯詩。還沒有談及節奏感問題。要把古人詩詞英譯好﹐得有
兩個條件﹕對古人詩詞須有深切造詣﹔對英文寫譯要有較高水平。現在看到的譯詩
至少反映出﹕要麼對古人詩的理解不透﹐要麼英文寫譯水平不夠﹐才會出這樣那樣
的問題。有的簡直按自己的意思亂譯﹐與原文意思大相徑庭。像這樣譯詩﹐豈非褻
瀆古人。自上一代教授學者謝世之後﹐中國這方面已經青黃不接﹐人才斷代。
是不可嘆孰可嘆歟。
