【摘要】

从人类诞生到这个地球上开始便和周围的生物有着千丝万缕的关系，其中，植物为人类的生存提供了一定的物质基础，有着极其高的实用价值。与此同时，又因为植物有着鲜明独特的形态特征和生活习性，所以常被诗人当作意象用在诗中来表达他们的思想感情和寄托他们的美好愿望。因为植物在不同的国家中有着不同的象征意义，所以在进行汉语诗歌的翻译之前，我们必须要研究在不同的国家中植物所代表的文化差异。与此同时，这方面的研究工作也有利于中国和英语语言国家的跨文化交际。此外，诗歌翻译不同其他翻译，往往大家对其的思想感情都有自己独到的理解，很难做到令每个人都信服，所以诗歌翻译一直是翻译界的一大课题，做好诗歌的翻译工作是一项非常艰难的工作，除了要考虑文化差异之外，译者本身对汉语诗歌的文化背景和思想感情要有深刻的研究，同时在翻译手法和策略上必须也要有一定的技巧。
