1、楚詞英譯： 屈原九歌 ·山鬼【引】 九歌·山鬼是戰國時期楚國偉大詩人屈原的作品，是一首祭祀山鬼的祭歌， 也被認為是楚辭中最優美的愛情詩。 這首詩中的“山鬼”究竟是女神還是男神存在爭議。宋元以前的楚辭家多據國語左傳所說，定山鬼為“木石之怪” 、“魑魅魍魎”，而視之為男性山怪。但元明時期的畫家，卻依詩中的描摹，頗有繪作“窈窕”動人的女神的。清人顧成天九歌解首倡山鬼為“巫山神女”之說，又經游國恩、郭沫若的闡發， “山鬼”當為“女鬼”或“女神”的意見，遂被廣泛接受。（據百度詞條“九歌·山鬼” ）本譯詩采用明白曉暢的現代英語翻譯， 格律為抑揚格五音步， 無韻。譯者在追求信、

2、雅、達的基礎上，較為注重文意的忠實、自然、順暢和詩意的最大限度的保留。 之所以有格律而不用韻， 也是考慮到如果刻意押韻的話，必然會因韻害義，一來可能會歪曲原義，二來會使文意不自然，不通暢，甚至顯得拗口。英文和中文畢竟有很大差別，1 / 4楚詞英譯： 屈原九歌 ·山鬼為了套上一個韻腳，難免要作文意的變換，甚至不得不生搬硬套，牽鑿附會。這樣就會舍棄最貼切、最合意的詞語和句子，得不償失。對于詩歌來說，語言通順、文意流暢是最基本的要求，如果連語義都不通暢，即使押韻了，詩意也蕩然無存。詩歌是最美的語言，語言拗口的詩句，即使寫得巧妙，也是無詩意的。我的翻譯講究明白、通暢。在追求詩意美的同時，力求

3、淺白易懂。因為詩歌語言精微獨特，在用另一種語言翻譯后容易變得艱澀不暢，特別是因講究押韻而刻意雕詞琢句的話， 就容易使語句、文意不流暢。我認為詩歌翻譯應該做到“三暢” ：語暢、意暢、情暢。語暢是指語句通暢不拗口，意暢是指意思通暢不艱澀， 情暢是指情思通暢不別扭。本詩譯者為本文檔上傳者，請尊重勞動成果，勿剽竊，引用時請注明譯者：羅沐。The Mountain Ghost山鬼Qu Yuan羅沐譯屈原Someone might be there in the mountain nook, 若有人兮山之阿，Dressed in fig vines and belted with usneas.被薜荔兮帶
