希拉里在美國館演講中引用的詩句
5月22日，美國國務卿克林頓在上海世博會美國館招待會上發(fā)表講話。講話中她再次引用了一句詩：山重水復疑無路，柳暗花明又一村。她是如何用英語表述這兩句詩的呢?
演講原文是：
There is a poem from the Southern Song Dynasty that reads: “After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt whether there is a path out, suddenly one encounters the shade of a willow, bright flowers and a lovely village.”
這里“山重水復”可以簡單說成endless mountains and rivers，而“疑無路”這三個字可以說是比較難翻譯的一個地方，上文的譯本中作了一個主語的轉換，將“懷疑”的主語人省去了，用leave doubt that這個詞組來表示，就使得譯文簡化了很多，不然一定要添譯進去一個“人”的主體，譯文很可能就比較冗長：After trudging through endless mountains and rivers，one might begin to doubt whether there is a path out。
同樣，“柳暗花明又一村”這一句也簡化成了三個意象：willow，flower，village。
詩詞的翻譯需要主動學習研究與平時積累兩方面雙管齊下。不少國外政要來華演講時都喜歡引用中國的古詩詞或者典故，這就是我們做資料收集的一個很好來源。
