#1 [原创] 我对翻译诗词的感想
Poetry translation for me is to have fun,
I know I am just a beginner, not a big gun.
My English sucks, hard to explain a pun
because I am busy, always on the run,
so many things there remain undone.
Starting next week I won't go online often.
When back again, I may back to square one,
I will leave my works here, under the sun.
If friends want to give me advice, welcome!
Enemies challenge me? I'd say: " Gun! "
(Gun is not the gun in English, it is the pinyin of 滚--get out!)
诗词翻译于我是为好玩，
我知道我是初学，不是大腕。
我英语很差，双关语很难，
因为我很忙, 靠打工吃饭。
有很多事情还没做完，
从下周起，我不会上网频繁。
当再回来时，我可能又被原形打返，
我把习作留这，阳光底下，从早到晚。
欢迎朋友的建议，评论，赞和弹，
敌人要挑战我? 我只能说：“滚蛋！！”
（中英一韵到底 。 读小草“我对翻译的忠告” 有感）
About Translation My advice
'Tis great if you’d be concise and precise,
But I know you may have to throw a dice
To choose whether it’s“precise’ or “concise”,
You scratch your head as if you had head lice.
You don’t mind comments that you may entice
‘Cause you’ll use them as a special device
To catch those bloody hidden textual mice,
And also you’d fain take them as blocks of ice
To keep a cool head to do a job nice -
- Good better best until you’re free of vice,
Which you do for fun rather than for price,
Which you regard as nourishing brown rice.
No paradise without your sacrifice;
Above mentioned is my heartfelt advice.
我对翻译的忠告
如果简明精准最好，
可我知道，你不得不在两者之间下赌，
选择“精确”还是“简洁”。
你挠头，像长了虱子，
你毫不介意可以诱发的评论，
因为你会把他们用作特别的策略(建议？)，（device？or advice?）
用以捕捉那些很隐蔽的文鼠，
你也乐得用他们犹如冰块，
用于保持冷静的头脑以做得细致——
好，更好，最好，直到你超脱恶习，
你为玩乐而做，而不为谋利，
你当作有营养的糙米。
没有你的牺牲就没有天堂。
上述所提，是我诚挚的忠告。
