An old man in palm-woven rain coat, Fishing in snow on a lone boat. null中国古诗有节奏。其节奏主要是通过汉字特有的声调表现出来的。传统汉语中的声调有四：平、上、去、入。平声称“平声”，上、去、入三声统称仄声。平声与仄(zè)声结合起来反复出现，就是中国诗歌的节奏。如一首五言绝句，其最常见的节奏是： 仄仄平平仄，平平仄仄平。 平平平仄仄，仄仄仄平平。 null 英文没有平声、仄声之分，但有重读轻读音节之分，其节奏是通过重读音节与轻读音节表现出来的。一个重读音节与一个或两个轻读音节按一定的模式搭配起来，有规律地反复出现就是英文诗歌的节奏。 null 但翻译中的创作，不是抛弃原作所进行的自我改写、妄造甚或漏译。见下面艾克尔所译李白《月下独酌》。 null月下独酌 李白 天若不爱酒，酒星不在天。 地若不爱酒，地应无酒泉。 天地既爱酒，爱酒不愧天。 已闻清比圣，复道浊如贤。 圣贤既已饮，何必求神仙？ 三杯通大道，一斗合自然： 但得醉中趣，勿为醒者传。 这首诗，是李白称颂饮酒的一篇热情奔放的宣言书，是其一生中对酒的最高礼赞。酒为天地而设，酒为圣贤而存，酒是“通大道”，“合自然”的不二法门。这种李白独悟的“酒中趣”，就是他所孜孜追求的率情任真，不累世俗，自由解放的理想境界，就是他借酒而造设的心灵天国。nullIf Heaven itself did not love wine, Then no Wine Star would shine in the sky. And if Earth also did not love wine, Earth would have no such place as Wine Fountain. Have I not heard that pure wine makes a sage, And even muddy wine can make a man wise? If wise men and sages are already drinkers, What is the use of seeking gods and fairies? With three cups I understand the great Way, With one jar I am at one with nature. Only, the perceptions that one has while drunk Cannot be transmitted after one is sober. 艾克尔译null 对照原诗，可以发现该译稿中存在“天地既爱酒，爱酒不愧天”两句漏译。 最后两句的英文意思是“只是一个人醉时的种种感觉，无法在醒后向人述说”，则完全不符合李白的原意。 所以，我试着翻译如下：nullIf Heaven itself liked no wine, No Wine Star would glitter in the sky. If Earth itself liked no wine, On Earth the place of Wine Fountain should not lie. Now that both Heaven and Sky like wine, No shame should be mine for love of wine. I have heard of sage out of clear wine, And thick wine can make a man wise and fine. If wise men and sages have been drinkers, What would be the reasons to beg the Lord and Heaven? Three cups lead right to the Babel, One jar merges me into nature well. The delight I enjoyed while drunk, Those who are sober can never tell. 张干周译nullIf Heaven itself liked wine little, No Wine Star in the sky would twinkle.

The delight and joy in drunk state, Whoever are sober can never say. 张干周译nullI want to give you a promise, but I'm afraid this promise would hold you back, and not give you freedom.
