许渊冲英译李白诗歌中意象再现手法研究.pdf

Abstract Classical Chinese poetry (CCP) is the brilliant reflection of the traditional Chinese culture with cultural connotations and its glitter lies in the meticulously formed images. As the most distinguished Romantic Poets in Tang dynasty, the distinctive personality of Li Bai’s poetry exists in his selection and arrangement of images. Based on this, the thesis makes a comparative study of Xu Yuanchong’s and other translators’ versions of Li Bai’s poems, with Xu’s Three Beauties principle and Three Transformations principle as the analytic framework, to find how to convey to the implicit meaning of images in the translation. Thus the thesis manages to justify the practical value of Xu’s Translation theories on the translation activity of classical Chinese poetry and his great contribution to poetry translation. Xu Yuanchong’s translation and his translation thought have received more and more attention from 21st century. These researches are mainly from two aspects: micro aspect and macro aspect. The micro research always compares Xu’s and other translators’ translation of the same works by using one or two theories, or makes an interpretation on Xu’s translation by using some certain translation theory. While the macro research always focuses on Xu Yuanchong’s translation thought from the aspect of intertextuality, hermeneutics or cross-culture. Few researchers focus on the image reproduction in Xu Yuanchong’s translation of Li Bai’s poetry. So the thesis makes a systematical analysis of image in Li Bai’s poetry from Xu’s two principles, in order to justify its practical value and great contribution to poetry translation.
