林黛玉_两弯似蹙非蹙罥烟眉 如何翻译

片段一：林黛玉的容貌

中文原文： 两弯似蹙非蹙罥烟眉，一双似喜非喜含情目。态生两靥之愁，娇袭一身之病。泪光点点，娇喘微微。闲静时如姣花照水，行动处似弱柳扶风。心较比干多一窍，病如西子胜三分。

Her mist-wreathed brows at first seemed to frown, yet were not frowning; Her passionate eyes at first seemed to smile, yet were not merry. Habit had given a melancholy cast to her tender face; Nature had bestowed a sickly constitution on her delicate frame. Often the eyes swam with glistening tears; Often the breath came in gentle gasps. In stillness she made one think of a graceful flower reflected in the water; In motion she called to mind tender willow shoots caressed by the wind. She had more chambers in her heart than the martyred Bi Gan; And suffered a tithe more pain in it than the beautiful Xi Shi.

片段二：林黛玉的《枉凝眉》

中文原文： 一个是阆苑仙葩，一个是美玉无暇。若说没奇缘，今生偏又遇着他；若说有奇缘，如何心事终虚化？

One is an immortal flower of fairyland, The other fair flawless jade. And were it not predestined, Why should they meet again in this existence? Yet, if predestined, Why does their love come to nothing?

片段三：《飞鸟各投林》

中文原文： 为官的，家业凋零；富贵的，金银散尽；有恩的，死里逃生；无情的，分明报应；欠命的，命已还；欠泪的，泪已尽。冤冤相报实非轻，分离聚合皆前定。欲知命短问前生，老来富贵也真侥幸。看破的，遁入空门；痴迷的，枉送了性命。好一似食尽鸟投林，落了片白茫茫大地真干净！

The office jack’s career is blighted, The rich man’s fortune now all vanished, The kind with life have been requited, The cruel exemplarily punished; The one who owed a life is dead, The tears one owed have all been shed. Wrongs suffered have the wrongs done expiated; The couplings and the sundering were fated. Untimely death sin in some past life shows, But only luck a blest old age bestows. The disillusioned to their convents fly, The still deluded miserably die. Like birds who, having fed, to the woods repair, They leave the landscape desolate and bare.

林黛玉海棠诗的绝佳英文翻译

探春、黛玉、宝钗、宝玉一干人等，在大观园里办起了诗社，取名“海棠诗社”。大家约定以“咏白海棠”为题，各写一首诗，探春、宝钗一干女孩冥思苦想，黛玉却冷眼旁观，别人都交卷了，黛玉还是无所谓，李宫裁催她，黛玉才提笔，怎料七律一首，一挥而就，掷给她们，一个“掷”字，颇有气魄，林妹妹才华出众，鹤立鸡群，可见一斑。

黛玉的诗是这样的：

　　半卷湘帘半掩门，碾冰为土玉为盆。

　　偷来梨蕊三分白，借得梅花一缕魂。

　　月窟仙人缝缟袂，秋闺怨女拭啼痕。

　　娇羞默默同谁诉，倦倚西风夜已昏。

全诗之中没有“泪”字，但是通篇都是泪意、泪情，字面上无“泪”，却无处不泪，正是这首诗的巧妙绝伦之处。

霍克斯翻译版：

        Beside the half-raised blind,the half-closed door,

　　Crushed ice for earth and white jade for pot,

　　three parts of whiteness from the pear-tree stolen,

　　One part from plum for scent(which pear has not)-

　　Moon-maidens stitched them with white silken thread,

　　And virgins' tears the new-made flowers did spot,

　　Which now,like bashful maids that no word say,

　　Lean languid on the breeze at close of day.

霍克斯用一个完美的英文长句，包涵了中国一首绝妙的七律，以才华对撞才华，以虔诚敬奉我们的绛珠仙子，这一段翻译，有情，有意，中文七律本是两行泪，英文诗则似是泪水流淌，富有高度的形式美，一气呵成。
