下面是《声声慢》各句的 英译赏析

例1、 寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。

林译：So dim, so dark,/ So dense, so dull,/ So damp, so dank,/ So dead!

杨译：Seeking, seeking,/ Chilly and quiet,/ Desolate, painful and miserable.

徐译：I’ve a sense of something missing I must seek./ Everything about me looks dismal and bleak. / Nothing that gives me pleasure, I can find.

许译：I look for what I miss;/ I know not what it is./ I feel so sad, so drear,/ So lonely, without cheer.

解析：1)林译全部选用单音节词，押头韵，且词语的选用层层递进，可谓独具匠心。“dim”和“dark”表明天色已晚, “dense”和“dull”展现了浓重不化，寻觅不得的忧愁和失落，继而“damp”和“dank”渲染阴冷凄苦的氛围，最后“dead”推向高潮，体现了词人绝望无助，凄凉痛苦的内心。译文言语简练，内涵丰富。

2)杨译用七个形容词对应七对叠字，生动形象地展现了词人情感的变化，由表及里，层层深入。

3)徐译，相较而言，不免显得不够简短。译者另辟蹊径，将词诗歌化，但由于句子偏长，翻译得过于明白，失去了原词的意境。

4)许译增加了主语，点明了寻觅之物是“what I miss”，似乎过于直白，少了原词的委婉朦胧之感。译者韵脚的选择十分用心，“miss”与汉语“觅”音似，“cheer”与“戚”相似。

例2、 乍暖还寒时候，最难将息。

林译：The weather, now warm, now cold,/ Makes it harder/ Than ever to forget!

杨译：Even when it’s warmer there is still a chill, / It is most difficult to keep well.

徐译：Even the weather has proved most unkind. / It is warm, but abruptly it turns cold again. / An unbroken rest-most difficult to obtain.

许译：How hard is it / To keep me fit / In this lingering cold!

解析：这两句说明天气突然转暖，却仍然寒意未消。变化无常的天气，也影响着人们的心情。而词人此时生活颠沛流离，心中愁思满满，更兼无常的天气，更难休息和修养。

1)林译将“最难将息”译成“最难忘记”，与原词的意思出入较大。

2)杨译较为完整地呈现了原词的意境和意思。

3)徐译译文明白易懂，但不够含蓄委婉。

4)许译调整了原词的语序，“lingering cold”点明了“还寒”，但未说明“乍暖”，丢失了原文信息。

例3、 三杯两盏淡酒，怎敌他、晚来风急?

林译：How can a few cups of thin wine/ Bring warmth against/ The chilly winds of sunset?

杨译：Three or two cups of light wine, / How can they ward off the strong morning wind?

徐译：Three cups of thin wine would utterly fail- / To cope with the rising evening gale.

许译：By cup on cup/ Of wine so dry/ Oh, how could I/ Endure at dusk the drift/ Of wind so swift?

解析：1)三杯两盏只是一个笼统的概念，翻译方式多样，四位译者的翻译都可以。

2)原文的“敌”字，选词巧妙，生动传神，而四位译者对“敌”的处理，完全不同。相比较而言徐译的“cope with”和许译的“endure”力度不够，不及其他两位译者选用的“ward off”和“against”。

3)有三位译者保留原文的反问句式。反问、设问、感叹等句式语气都较为强烈，一般的翻译做法是与原文句式保持一致。且在译文风格上，许译相较于他者，风格较为不同，尤为突出的是“Oh, how could I”,使译文更具英诗风格。

例4、 雁过也，正伤心、却是旧时相识。

林译：I recognize the geese flying overhead:/ My old friends, / Bring not the old memories back!

杨译：Wild geese fly past, while I’m broken-hearted; / But I recognize they are my old friends.

徐译：Myself, into woe, a flight of wild geese has thrown./ But with them, very familiar I have grown.

许译：It breaks my heart, alas,/ To see the wild geese pass, / Foe they are my acquaintances of old.

解析：1)自古鸿雁传书，雁是古时人们互通书信的重要工具。亲人分离，山河破碎，正伤痛，又看到雁飞过，恐怕传递的又是坏消息，更何况还是旧相识。旧愁新苦涌上心头，更添悲痛。

2)这一句，虽短短十二个字，情感却是不断变化的。纵观四中译文，大部分不能传递出文字深层次含义，雁、伤心、旧相识之间的关系表达地不够紧密。唯有林译独辟蹊径，对原文进行了较大改动，特别是最后一句“bring not the old memories back!”道出了旧相识却反增其悲的原因。

例5、满地黄花堆积，憔悴损、而今有谁堪摘?

林译：Let fallen flowers lie where they fall./ To what purpose/ And for whom should I decorate?

杨译：Fallen chrysanthemums piled up on the ground,/ So withered,/ Who would pluck them?

徐译：About the ground, chrysanthemums are bestrewn./ Gathering into heaps-bruised-withering soon. / With myself in utter misery and gloom, / Who cares to save them from their approaching doom?

许译：The ground is covered with yellow flowers,/ Faded and fallen in showers. / Who will pick them up now?

解析：1)词人以花喻人，凋零的菊花，散落在地，无人问津。自己也同样如此，山河破碎，身世浮沉，无人怜惜。

2)“满地黄花堆积”中较为难翻的是“堆积”这个词。林译只是表明花落，并未体现“堆积”二字。徐译虽然将原词意思完整表达出，但言语不够精简。许译的“Faded and fallen in showers”，可谓佳译，十分生动形象。至于”黄花“一词，原文指代黄色菊花，林译“fallen flowers”过于笼统，“chrysanthemum”和“yellow flowers”都可以，但前者个人觉得比较生僻，且发音略微艰涩，用作译文不太符合诗歌朗朗上口的特点，也并非指黄色菊花。

3)“憔悴损”不仅是菊花凋谢枯萎，也代表词人自己身体瘦弱，面色蜡黄。林译和徐译体现了由物及人的一个转变，但徐译语言略显臃肿。

例6、守着窗儿，独自怎生得黑?

林译：By the window shut, / Guarding it alone,/ To see the sky has turned so black!

杨译：Leaning on the window,/ How can I pass the time till night alone?

徐译：Standing by the window-watching in anguish stark,/ Could I bear alone the sight until it is dark?

许译：Sitting alone at the window, how/ Could I but quicken/ The pace of darkness that won’t thicken?

解析：1)这两句描写出词人孤苦寂寞，连熬到天黑都觉不易。

2)林译对原词有所误解，一处是“守着窗儿”的守，不应是“guard”作守卫，守护的意思。其他译者的“lean on”,“ stand by”, “sit at”都可以。另一处是后面的“独自怎生得黑”，原词的意思是难以熬到天黑，而不是林译中的“the sky has turned so black”，天色已是一片漆黑。

3)徐译和许译对后一句动词的处理比较好，选用了“bear”和 “quicken”两个词，生动形象地再现了词人寂寞冷清，度日如年的心态，杨译的“pass”相较则略显平淡。

例7、梧桐更兼细雨，到黄昏、点点滴滴。

林译：And the drizzle on the kola nut/ Keeps on droning:/ Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat!

杨译：The drizzle falls on the wutong trees, / Raindrops drip down at dusk.

徐译：Against the tung and plane trees, the wind rises high./ The drizzle becomes trickles, as even draws nigh.

许译：On plane’s broad leaves a fine rain drizzles/ As twilight grizzles.

解析：1)雨打梧桐，是中国古典诗词中一个十分典型的文化意象，秋雨淅沥，满绪愁思。此句翻译内容较为容易，但若是传神则较为困难，特别是“点点滴滴”这一拟声词。

2)许译的“drizzle”, “grizzle”和徐译的“drizzle”, “trickle”都采用了拟声词，保留了原文的意境，且注重押韵，展现原词的音韵美。

3) 林译更为生动传神。“droning”体现了秋雨单调低沉的声音，而最后的.“pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat”拟声词更是神来之笔，不仅富有音乐美，画面感也十分强烈。

例8、这次第，怎一个愁字了得!

林译：Is this the kind of mood and moment/ To be expressed / By one word “sad”?

杨译：At a time like this, / What immense sorrow I must hear!

徐译：How, in the word “Miserable”, can one find-/ The total effects of all these on the mind!

许译：Oh, what can I do with a grief/ Beyond belief!

解析：1)“这次第”总概上文，笔锋急收，“怎一个愁字了得”，情感喷薄而出。愁的不仅是自己的孤苦寂寞，更是国破家亡的痛心疾首。“这次第”三词概括了上述的种种情景，四位译者的译文皆可，但值得一提的是林译“Is this the kind of mood and moment”在表意的同时兼顾押头韵，体现译者深厚的功底。

2)“愁”字为此句字眼，四位译者对“愁”字的处理各不相同。林译选择“sad”，虽然用引号括出，表明其暗含深意，但仍然略显单薄。杨译选用“immense sorrow”，增加了程度修饰成分体现悲痛的深重。徐译的“Miserable”在体现悲痛的同时，选择使用引号和大写这一方式凸显这一词。许译“a grief beyond belief”对原词进行了一定的转化，特别是后面的“beyond belief”较好体现词人的愁思。

寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。乍暖还寒时候，最难将息。三杯两盏淡酒，怎敌他，晚来风急？雁过也，正伤心，却是旧时相识。 满地黄花堆积，憔悴损，如今有谁堪摘。守着窗儿，独自怎生得黑？梧桐更兼细雨，到黄昏，点点滴滴。这次第，怎一个愁字了得。 Looking and searching, andrey QiQiCanCan full, clearly.
