《枫桥夜泊》有数十种英译本,但似都未能完美传达原诗的意境和意味。对这个案例的阐释,可为钱钟书的“抗译说”提供一个注脚。问题的根本在于,对中国古典诗歌意象的感受和理解,不但是语言问题,而且是文化问题。 There are dozens of English translations of “Night Bridge at Fengqiao”, but all fail to convey perfectly the artistic conception and meaning of the original poem. The interpretation of this case provides a footnote for Qian’s anti-translation theory. The root of the problem is that the perception and understanding of the images of classical Chinese poetry are not only language problems, but also cultural issues.
