中文摘要:
      文章在统计和总结汪榕培、潘智丹的《英译〈诗经·国风〉》著作中所出现的植物名称的种类、英译的基础上,从训诂学、名物学、文学翻译等角度对其英译进行分析。目的是考证其英译和文化意象的传达,希望对中国典籍英译实践有一定的借鉴作用。笔者首先分析《英译〈诗经·国风〉》共出现的79种植物英译,认为其中值得商榷的有“唐”、“条”、“黍”和“稷”;然后提出相应的更能“传神达意”的翻译,尤其强调传达原作中特有的中国文化意象;还探讨了上述翻译欠妥的原因。最后文章简要说明了文化意象传达在典籍翻译中的重要性,并就《诗经》乃至典籍翻译提出了三方面建议。
English Summary:
      The present paper carried out a detailed research on the plant names, their correspondent translation and their occurrence in Regional Songs from the Book of Poetry. The English Version translated by Wang Rongpei and Pan Zhidan were the target of analysis. The English translations of the plants in this version were analyzed from the perspective of critical interpretation of ancient texts, literal texts and the study of “objects and their functions” . The aim of the paper is to clarify the English translation of the plant names and their rendering of the Chinese cultural images, hopefully it boasts traces of implactions for translation of Chinese classic works. First, it is concluded that there were around 79 kinds of plants mentioned in it, among which four were found to be mistranslated. They are“唐”、“条”、“黍”和“稷”. In addition better version of English translation——not only in terms of the proper names of the plants ,but also their correspondent Chinese cultural images were discussed and offered.Then the reasons for such mistranslation were analyzed and the importance of the rendering Chinese cultural images were touched.What’s more, three suggestions were proposed for better study and rendering the Book of Poetry and other Classical Chinese literature works.
