文学翻译

醉过才知酒浓，
Having been drunk, you'll know the powerfulness of wine;

孤负当年林下意，
对床夜雨听萧瑟。

人前深意难轻诉。
Hard to reveal lightly to people emotions so deep.

怅卧新春白袷衣，
Listless I lie in early spring, then dressed in white,
白门寥落意多违。
I go to the white Gate but there you can't be seen.

好雨知时节，
Good rain knows its time right;
当春乃发生。
It will fall when comes spring.

天街小雨润如酥，
The royal streets are moistend by a creamlike rain;
草色遥看近却无。
Green grass can be perceived afar but not nearby.

翻译文学作品是一项严峻的挑战。译者需要把原文变成目标语言的同时，尽可能地保留原文的质量和人物，还有其“精髓”。将原文的独特性、韵律、风格、语调、意象和重点转变为另外一种语言，还要配和上这种语言的风格、节奏和韵律，这对译者来说是相当棘手的工作。
