翻譯是什麼?翻譯就有如動物在進食後,進行消化,繼而反芻。在這過程中,有兩個不同的見解,一是『改用中文寫』,另一種是『用中文改寫』,在這兩端,當中所能操作的空間是非常廣闊的。如科學、專利翻譯首先要求是精確、嚴謹,是比較接近『改用中文寫』的這一端,而文學詩歌,是則重神韻、意境,容許有較大的『發揮』,是接近『用中文改寫』那一種。在商業社會,翻譯作為一種商品與金錢的交易,當然是要服從顧客的要求。若要反潮流,除了要『教育』顧客,還要花不少時間與精力,去說服他們,接納譯者的『發揮』及『改寫』,有時效果不大,反而會令人失望,唯一的想法就是轉行算了。話說回來,泰戈尔的《飞鸟集》,翻譯應屬可以盡情『發揮』的那一種,無需要太執著個別字眼上的意思,說好高慕遠的愛情也好,危若懸崖的愛情也好,反正已不能問泰戈尔,各自表述就是。
是这样. 诗歌嘛, 不一定处处都有严格的逻辑性. 每个人对某一作品的理解体会可能有所不同, 能够起到欣赏或鼓舞的作用就是了.
记得我们这里的各位诗人曾给 chance 帮忙出主意翻一首短诗, 真可谓八仙过海, 各显神通. 由此大家一起讨论过赋写和翻译诗歌, 其中话题也涉及到艺术和逻辑的关系 ...

如果一句話﹐用直譯和意譯兩種技巧翻譯出來意思不一樣﹐那么直譯一定是翻譯錯了。有人用直譯作為自己沒理解原文意思的托辭。對於他們來講﹐把字典上的翻譯搬過來填到句子里就叫直譯。 | | |

The interpretation entirely depends on the context. Specifically, was or was not the person actually at the studio the morning in question?
I did not write that letter because of what you told me.
Take this other sample sentence in the above link for instance. How to interpret what the speaker meant all depends on whether the letter was or was not in fact written.
Anyway, I suggest we not get bogged down on sentences like these because the discussion or exercise may prove futile. Although it does go to show how important context is. Under different circumstances, the same sentence or phrase could have entirely different meanings. To further demonstrate, here's a simple example that Yueyin used in the past ...

jyuan,
I figured you weren't very serious. Most people would assume from the lone sentence that the person did not show up for work that morning. But in certain situations, the interpretation you gave is entirely legitimate.
Say the person doesn't even work at the studio, and was just hanging out there for some reason other than taking sick leave from his regular day job. | |

我认为,上面那个链接所提供的并不是什么好教材。那只是作者的个人学习心得而已。这种文章在中国青年网等媒体中广泛流传,不但对年轻人没什么帮助,反而误人子弟。前不久 Phil Hand 曾说:“毫无疑问,中国部分教材质量非常差,我曾经看过大学英语课本里的内容,与英文语法完全脱离了,根本不知道作家在想什么,好象是拍脑袋创意语法似的”。上述文章就是“拍脑袋创意语法”的一个典型实例。以其昏昏,如何使人昭昭?
我认为,在 “I did not write that letter because of what you told me” (没写信)这句话中,not 就是修饰动词 write 而不是修饰 because。如果想要否定 because,那就应该写成 “not because”。原则上,修饰词与被修饰词在句中的位置应尽量接近。而且,上面那句话并不等同于 “It was not because of what you told me that I wrote that letter”(已写信)。
另外,“It was not because of what you told me that I wrote that letter” 并不是什么特殊结构,而是一个很简单的以形式主语 It 引导的主语从句 (that I wrote that letter)。换言之:
It was not because of what you told me that I wrote that letter. 等于 The fact that I wrote that letter was not because of what you told me.
此外,“并不是因为你跟我说了,我才写那封信的”这种译法也不确切。”because of what you told me” 并不等于 “because you told me”。 “what you told me” 是指“所告诉的内容”,而 “you told me” 是指“告诉过我”这一事实。因此,这句话似应改为“并不是因为你对我所说的话,我才写那封信的”。这个 “you” 也许只是分析了写信的利弊,并不一定提出过要 “I” 写信的建议或命令。 | | |

“Do not seat your love upon a precipice because it is high”
In the above sentence, “Do” is an auxiliary verb used with “not” and another verb “seat” to form a negative expression. “Do not seat” is an integrated phrase used to form an imperative. Apparently, the word “not” is not used to modify “because”. | | |
