杨宪益的生平.pptVIP

白虎星照命 Yang came from a typical scholar-gentry family of the late Manchu（满族的） dynasty: his father was head of the Bank of China in the city of Tianjin, 80 miles south-east of Beijing, where he was born. He was educated at home by a tutor in the Chinese classics before attending a missionary school in one of Tianjin‘s foreign concessions（租借地）. 富家公子 这个男孩将是家中唯一的男丁，克父伤子，而他在经历重重磨难后，将会成就辉煌的事业 Study abroad Admitted to Merton College, Oxford, he studied classics for two years and then shifted to English literature with the poet Edmund Blunden, whose tutorials with him usually finished in the pub. More significantly, he met Gladys Tayler, the daughter of missionaries in China, at the Oxford China Society. 珠联璧合 With Gladyss help, he translated the lyrical poem Li Sao by Qu Yuan (4th century BC) into English heroic couplets in the style of John Dryden. The couple returned to China in 1940 and married in the wartime capital of Chongqing, working as teachers and translators in the Chinese Nationalist area. 在翻译上,他和戴乃迭具有得天独厚的优势。常常是杨宪益手捧中国的古典名著流畅口译，戴乃迭手下的打字机飞翔一般流动。 　　在杨宪益看来，有了戴乃迭的帮助，似乎没有什么是不可以翻译的。就连中国的《楚辞》也不例外。简单来讲，翻译就是把某一种文字，翻译到第二种文字。“就是这么一回事”。先生说，“要是原本你懂了，你翻译成外文都没错。” Horrified by the violence of the Chiang Kai-shek regime, Yang joined the underground, passing on information gleaned from foreign diplomats. Ironically it was because of this pro-communist activity that, 20 years later in the Cultural Revolution, he would be labelled an anti-communist “foreign spy” . The Yangs approach was faithful to the originals but always expressed in readable language. Their output over the years amounted to more than 60 titles: tens of thousands of foreign students of Chinese, from then till today, have relied on their work.
