ut what a gentleman is,the Master answers, “A gentleman practices before heprattles; then preaches what he has practiced.”此句译者巧妙地借鉴了莎士比亚《奥赛罗》中的一句话：“Mere prattle，without practice，is all hissoldiership.”译者用英语读者熟悉的名家名言来翻译中国古典名言，并将其进行对照，完美实现了中西文化的合璧。对于“为政以德，譬如北辰，居其所而众星共之”中关于“德”的评价，译者在翻译的基础上，进一步拓宽视野，巧妙借用英文中“Right is might”的一句反语，将其赞美为“Morality is mighty”，可谓精辟之至。同时，译者又将其延伸到“morality”的另一个重要成分“mercy”(同情心)，并借用《威尼斯商人》中对“同情心”的优美表述，将中西经典作品交织起来欣赏，既和谐统一，又相映成趣。四、从英文的审美视角生动再现原文在翻译《论语》这一中国古典文化精品时，译者以其独特的审美视角诠释原文，用优雅的英文再现原文。这一特点是译文的精华所在，也是本文审美聚焦的核心。例 6 子曰：“学而时习之，不亦乐乎?”译文 The Master says, “It is a pleasure if youhave learned something new and put it into practice indue time, isn’t it?”译者避免了亦步亦趋的直接翻译法，采用反义疑问句来代替一般疑问句，这样结构上更凝练，语气上也更符合说话人对这一事实的陈述。如果直接翻译为：“Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice whatyou have learned?”虽表达简洁，但“study”一词使用不贴切，且全句在语气上与原文“失真”。例 7 子曰：“里仁为美。择不处仁，焉得知?”译文 The Master says, “It is advisable to settledown in the neighborhood where kindness andbenevolence prevail. It is certainly less wise if onechooses not to live in the neighborhood wherekindness and benevolence prevail.”此句由疑问句转换为陈述句，更能准确传递原文思想。如果将后半句直译为：“If a man chooses aneighborhood which lacks virtues，how can he bewise?”虽然结构上和原句对称，但不仅表达不地道，也未能准确传递原文之主旨。例 8 子曰：“温故而知新  ”译文 The Master says, “If you constantly reviewyour knowledge in stock, you will feel freshlyenlightened…”此句译者没有采用“Reviewing the past helpsone to understand the present”的常规表达来翻译，而是使用条件句，这在语气上更平缓，逻辑上也更清晰，而用“knowledge in stock”来表达“故”，完全符合“汉语重归纳，而英语重分析”的思维模式转换之要求。例 9 子曰：“德不孤，必有邻。”译文 The Master says, “A man of moral inte-grity will never be alone, for he is sure to enjoycompany of congenial friends.”与“If you are virtuous，you will not be lonely.You will always have friends.”的直译相比，译者按照“归化”的原则，采用完全符合英文习惯的表达方式，将陈述句转换为因果关系从句，脉络分明，说理透彻。例 10 樊迟问知。子曰：“务民之义，敬鬼神而远之，可谓知矣。” 问仁。曰：“仁者先难而后获，可谓仁矣。”译文 Fan Chi asks, “What is wisdom?” TheMaster answers, “One shows wisdom if he iscommitted to the interests of the people in general andshows due respect to various gods, but stays awayfrom them.” “What is maturity and integrity?” “Heshows maturity and integrity if he has experiencedhardships before he is blessed with gains.”译者打破常规，采用问答的形式来翻译陈述的内容，条理清晰，结构分明，让人感觉一目了然。试比较直译：“One is to know the obligations of man in asociety，and to hold in awe the spiritual powers of theUniverse while staying aloof from gods; th本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
