《醉翁亭记》英译本赏析.ppt

宴酣之乐，非丝非竹，/ 射者中，奕者胜，觥筹交错，坐起而喧哗者，众宾欢也。 难点3：“射” 此处“射”并非指射箭，而是指古代宴饮时的一种投掷游戏，名曰“投壶”。据《礼记·投壶》及其他文献的记载，结合河南南阳出土的东汉投壶画像石实物观察，可知早期投壶游戏，是在室内、堂上或庭院当中，置一广口大腹、壶颈细长的酒壶，以壶口为目标，宾主按规定的距离(离壶五至九尺)，跪坐于壶的周围，依次将一根根柘木或棘木做成的矢向壶口投去(矢的形状一头尖，一头齐，颇似没羽之箭，故名)。 宴酣之乐，非丝非竹，/ 射者中，奕者胜，觥筹交错，坐起而喧哗者，众宾欢也。 V1: throwing arrows into the vessel V2: cottabus V3: The shooters hitting the marks V3对原文理解错误。Ｖ2中“cottabus”，根据维基百科解释为“Kottabos, anglice cottabus, was a game of skill popular for a long time at ancient Greek and Etruscan symposia (drinking parties), especially in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The game is played by flinging wine lees at targets.The player would utter the name of a beloved as he tossed the wine, both revealing his desire and divining fate just as the more modern “loves me, loves me not” game played with flower petals.”，可以看出和中国古代的“投壶”不同，因而不能这样翻译。V1直接把“投壶”的游戏过程描述出来，比较准确。不过“vessel”一词是指一般的容器（a bowl or other container in which liquid is kept），不够精确，个人认为替换成“flagon”(A flagon is a jug with a narrow neck in which wine or another drink is served）更为精确。 宴酣之乐，非丝非竹，/ 射者中，奕者胜，觥筹交错，坐起而喧哗者，众宾欢也。 难点4：“觥筹交错” 觥：古代的一种酒器；筹：行酒令的筹码。酒杯和酒筹杂乱地放着。形容许多人聚会喝酒时有人举杯有人行酒令的热闹场景。  宴酣之乐，非丝非竹，/ 射者中，奕者胜，觥筹交错，坐起而喧哗者，众宾欢也。 V1: Wine cups and gambling chips lay scattered in blithe disarray. V2: when they mark up their scores in drinking games together V3: winecups and counters mixed together V1和V3只是译出“觥筹交错”的静态本意，而没有传达其引申义从而描写宾客玩乐的动态场景。相比之下，V2处理得到位，不过只译出“筹”，即“行酒令”，而漏掉了“觥”，即举杯痛饮。因此，应增加这一成分，将Ｖ2扩展为“when they toast each other and mark up their scores in drinking games together”。 已而夕阳在山，人影散乱，太守归而宾客从也。 V1: As dusk falls, one sees shifting shadows scattering in all directions. The prefect is leaving for home, and his guests are following him. V2: Then the sun sinks towards the hills, mens shadows begin to flit about and scatter; and now the governor leaves, followed by his guests. V3: Soon the sun touching the mountain, and the shadows of men being scattered in confusion—the Prefect, followed by his guests, is going b
