内容来自论文无忧网 www.paper51.com 该篇论文通过对唐诗《春望》不同英译版本的分析与对比，深刻地讨论了诗歌翻译中形式与内容必须统一的重要性。要达此目的，在翻译过程中必须灵活地运用诗歌的各种翻译方法，不能活搬硬套。把傅雷的神似以及钱钟书的化境作为理论的依据。除此之外，还要充分考虑译入语读者的文化背景和文化传统，避免产生误解和歧义，而达不到翻译传文达意的预期效果。从分析中我们能得出结论不能只注重形式或只注重内容，必须达到两者的统一。 paper51.com 关键词： 诗歌翻译；统一；内容；形式；节奏；押韵 内容来自www.paper51.com

春 望 copyright paper51.com
杜甫（唐） copyright paper51.com 国破山河在， 城春草木深。 内容来自www.paper51.com 感时花溅泪， 恨别鸟惊心。 copyright paper51.com 烽火连三月， 家书抵万金。 copyright paper51.com 白头搔更短， 浑欲不胜簪。 ( 胡问涛，金启华 1984: 194 ) paper51.com Thispoem was written in the spring of 757 after the Rebellion, while Du Fu wasstill a captive in the capital — Chang’an, which was occupied by the rebels. Inthe poem, two lines in every couplet are antithetical: the city should bebeautiful in spring but grass and weed overgrew in disorder; war and peace.Antithesis is a kind of rhetoric and is used usually in poetry. It makes poetrymore persuasive. Besides antithesis, personification is also used in the poem:flowers are moved to tears and birds cry with broken heart. By means ofrhetorics, we can easily imagine a miserable scene of being broken up with ownfamily and how deep the poet’s grief would be.
