【英译唐诗成英文散文诗】陈陶 《陇西行》

(2022-03-25 22:57:09) 下一个

誓扫匈奴不顾身,五千貂锦丧胡尘。

可怜无定河边骨,犹是深闺梦里人。

Translated by 康赛欧:

《Lyrics of Longxi Song - Journey to the West》by Chen, Tao

The Da Tang's warriors swore to wipe out the Huns and sacrifice their lives;

Five thousand soldiers perished on the rolling sand of a battlefield beyond the border.

Sorrowfully, they have become skeletons on the bank of Wu Ding River;

But their beloved wives dream they are still alive and well.

百度的解释:

①匈奴:指西北边境部族。
②貂锦:这里指战士,指装备精良的精锐之师。
③无定河:黄河中游支流,在陕西北部。
④春闺:这里指战死者的妻子。 

 

百度的白话文译文:

译文1:
 
誓死要横扫匈奴个个都奋不顾身,五千身穿锦袍的精兵战死在胡尘。
真怜那无定河边暴弃的粼粼白骨,还是少妇们春闺里思念的梦中人。 
 
译文2:
 
唐军将士誓死横扫匈奴奋不顾身;五千身穿锦袍的精兵战死在胡尘。
真可怜呵那无定河边成堆的白骨,还是少妇们梦中相依相伴的恋人。

《The Journey in Longxi》

Author: Chen, Tao [Tang Dynasty]

Determined soldiers rushed towards the border to sweep off the Huns without worrying about their lives.

Thousands of soldiers dressed in brand new army uniforms died in their enemy's land.

It's miserable that all those unburied human skeletons lie along the bank of Unquiet River,

are still live people in their wives' dreams.

——————————————————————

许渊冲翻译的版本:

《The Riverside Battleground 》

Chen Tao

They would lay down their lives to wipe away the Huns;
They've bit the dust, five thousand sable-clad brave sons.
Alas! Their bones lie on riverside battleground,
But in dreams of their wives they are still seem safe and sound.
