感心、感耳和感目的中国古典诗歌翻译—简析许渊冲《李白诗选》英译本中美学蕴含 

On Aesthetic Implications in Chinese Classical Poetry Translation

摘要

诗歌被誉为民族文化的结晶，是历史和文化沉淀的结果。中国是诗的国度，其语言含蓄而隽永，意境丰富而精深，这就意味着汉诗英译不能只满足忠实对等，还要在目的语中再现美感。所以本文从许渊冲的三美理论“意美、音美、形美”着手，选取《李白诗选》中具有代表意义的诗作作为研究对象，通过分析比较《李白诗选》原文与许渊冲译文，我们可以研究三美理论在汉诗英译中的运用，从而来展示三美在译文的重现，以此来证明“三美”理论对中国古诗英译的实用价值。
