翻译史上的经典佳句
中翻英 关关雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑。
By riverside a pair
Of turtledoves are cooing；
There's a good maiden fair
Whom a young man is wooing.
——许渊冲 译
中华人民多奇志，不爱红装爱武装。
Chinese people prefer to face the powder rather than powder the face.
——许渊冲 译
浮云游子意，落日故人情。 With floating cloud you'll float away; Like parting day I'll part from you.
——许渊冲 译
吃一堑，长一智。
A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
——钱锺书 译
寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。
So dim, so dark,
So dense, so dull,
So damp, so dank,
So dead!
——林语堂 译
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;
The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour.
——卞之琳+许渊冲 译
英翻中
Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.
生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。
——郑振铎 译
"Every little helps," as the old lady said，when she pissed in the sea.
老妪小遗于大海中，自语曰：“不无小补。”
——钱锺书 译
Able was I ere I saw Elba.
落败孤岛孤败落。
——马红军 译
A government of the people, by the people, for the people.
民有，民享，民治之政府。
——孙中山 译
In me the tiger sniffs the rose.
心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇。
——余光中 译
And a fish
In the deep,
And a man
In the mind.
水中有鱼，
心中有君；
鱼难离水，
君是我心。
——郭沫若 译
I strove with none,
for none was worth my strife,
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art
I warm'd both hands before the fire of Life;
It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
我和谁都不争，
和谁争我都不屑；
我爱大自然，
其次是艺术；
我双手烤着，
生命之火取暖；
火萎了，
我也准备走了。
——杨绛 译
But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do,
nothing will ever compare.
斯人若彩虹，遇上方知有。
——韩寒 译
