   一年一度的中秋佳节又到了,不知道童鞋们是否正在跟家人或朋友共度佳节,分享月饼呢?

  此时此刻,独在异乡的小编想到了一首著名的宋词,也是出自小编最崇拜的苏东坡先生的《水调歌头》。那么,你们想不想拜读一下名家林语堂对此词的英文演绎呢?
  水调歌头·明月几时有
  苏轼原作:
  明月几时有,把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙,今夕是何年。我欲乘风归去,又恐琼楼玉宇,高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影,何似在人间。
  转朱阁,低绮户,照无眠。不应有恨,何事长向别时圆?人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。
  林语堂译作:
  How rare the moon, so round and clear!
  With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky,
  "I do not know in the celestial1 sphere
  What name this festive2 night goes by?"
  I want to fly home, riding the air,
  But fear the ethereal cold up there,
  The jade3 and crystal mansions4 are so high!
  Dancing to my shadow,
  I feel no longer the mortal tie.
  She rounds the vermilion tower,
  Stoops to silk-pad doors,
  Shines on those who sleepless5 lie.
  Why does she, bearing us no grudge6,
  Shine upon our parting, reunion deny?
  But rare is perfect happiness--
  The moon does wax, the moon does wane7,
  And so men meet and say goodbye.
  I only pray our life be long,
  And our souls together heavenward fly!
  在此,小编不得不感叹一句,中文实在博大精深,其精妙之处断不是其他语言可以翻译出的。虽然林语堂先生实为大师级别,但也无法还原中文的意境。因此,小编一直都认为中国人很少有人拿到诺贝尔文学奖也是有原因的——没有一种语言可以复刻中国文字的韵味和灵魂!
  话又说远了,但是如果在四级考试中,你能将“人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺”写成英文的模样"The moon does wax, the moon does wane, and so men meet and say goodbye.(引用林老的翻译)",想必阅卷老师对你的印象一定增分不少呢!
