春风得意马蹄疾

一日看尽长安花

I've seen within one day all flowers on the trees.

别丢掉，这一把过往的热情，现在流水似的，轻轻，在幽冷的山泉底，在黑夜，在松林，叹息似的渺茫，你仍要保存着那真！

Don't cast away

This handful of passion of a bygone day,

Which flows like running water soft and light

Beneath the cool and tranquil fountain,

At dead of night,

In pine-clad mountain,

As vague as sighs, but you

Should ever be true.

一样是月明，一样是隔山灯火，满天的星，只是人不见，梦似的挂起。你向黑夜要回，那一句话——你仍得相信，山谷中留着，有那回音。

The moon is still so bright,

Beyond the hills the lamps shed the same light,

The sky besprinkled with star upon star,

But I do not know where you are.

It seems

You hang above like dreams.

You ask the dark night to give back your word,

But its echo is heard

And buries though unseen

Deep, deep in the ravine. 

——林徽因《别丢掉》

The Flying Tigers sprinkled

Their blood on high

And smoke of Jap planes wrinkled

The azure sky.

The mountain loves the lake,

Watching its image single.

All day and night awake

Till it and water mingle.

飞虎队乘长风，血溅万里蓝天。

敌机一声轰隆，冒出滚滚浓烟。

西山直立湖边，怀念勇士英灵。

漫漫长夜难眠，人影融入山影。

春蚕到死丝方尽

蜡炬成灰泪始干

Spring silkworm till its death spins silk from lovesick heart;

Candles only when burned up have no tears to shed.

我把中国学派的文学翻译理论总结成了十个字：“美化之艺术，创优似竞赛”。

I have summed up my translation theories into the following words: "art of beautifulization and creation of the best as in rivalry." 

 所谓“美”，指的是意美、音美、形美；所谓“化”，指等化、浅化、深化；所谓“之”，是知之、好之、乐之。“艺术”二字，源于朱光潜的“‘从心所欲，不逾矩’是一切艺术的成熟境界”。又从郭沫若的“好的翻译等于创作”中取一个“创”，从傅雷的“重神似不重形似”中取一个“似”，自己总结出的“发挥译语优势”中取出一个“优”字。“优”是“三美”合而为一的本体论，“创”是“三化”合而为一的方法论，“似”是“三之”合而为一的目的论，“竞赛”是包含在“艺术” 中的认识论，共同构成了独特的中国译论。

By "beautifulization" I mean a translated verse should be as beautiful as the original in sense, in sound and in form; by "ization" I include equalization (equivalence), generalization and particularization; by "ion" limply comprehension (understanding), appreciation (enjoyment) and admiration (delight); by "creation" I understand the translator should be creative as the author of the original metamorphosed, writing and creating in the target language; by "the best" I mean an art of competition to see which version can better express the original idea, and make the reader understand and enjoy the poetry and delight in it.

●  昔我往矣，杨柳依依。今我来思，雨雪霏霏。

When I left here,

Willows shed tear.

I come back now,

Snow bends the bough.

——《诗经·小雅·采薇》

●  盈盈一水间，脉脉不得语。

Where brimful, brimful waves appear,

They gaze but can't lay bare their heart.

——《迢迢牵牛星》

●  无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。

The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower:

The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour.

——杜甫《登高》

●  寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。

I look for what I miss, 

I know not what it is,

I feel so sad, so drear,

So lonely, without cheer.

——李清照《声声慢》

老骥伏枥 志在千里

An old steed in the stable may stay,

But still it longs to go a long, long way.

罗德里戈

算了，不要说了！我觉得你，伊阿戈，

这样做不太好。你花我的钱就像花你自己的，

但对我这么重要的事情，却现在才告诉我。

RODORIGO

Never tell me! I take it much unkindly

That thou, Iago, who hast had my purse

As if the strings were thine, shouldst know of this.

伊阿戈

老天在上，你怎么不听我说？我要是做梦

想得到他会干出这种事来，老天也不会原谅我。

IAGO

But you'll not hear me: if ever I did dream

Of such a matter, abhor me.

罗德里戈

你告诉过我，

你对他怀恨在心。

RODORIGO

Thou told'st me

Thou didst hold him in thy hate.

伊阿戈

我怎能不恨他呢？

三个城里的大人物正式

向他推荐我做他的副将，

这简直是向他脱帽致敬了，说老实话，

我也知道自己的身价，够得上这个格；

但是他却目中无人，别有用心，

满嘴吐着带火药味的字眼，

用些不三不四的话来搪塞，把我的

三个大人物打发走了。说什么“当然啰！

我已经选好了我的副将”。

IAGO

Despise me

If I do not. Three great ones of the city,

In personal suit to make me his lieutenant,

Off-capped to him, and by the faith of man,

I know my price, I am worth no worse a place:

But he, as loving his own pride and purposes,

Evades them with a bombast circumstance

Horribly stuffed with epithets of war,

Nonsuits my mediators. For 'Certes', says he,

'I have already chose my officer.'

——莎士比亚《奥赛罗·第一场第一景》
