【朗阁英语】当英语遇到国学,这画面太美我不敢看

原标题：【朗阁英语】当英语遇到国学, 这画面太美我不敢看




学了这么久的语文和英文,

有没有考虑过

中国古诗词如何用英文表达的更有美感呢?



最经典的

"两个黄鹂鸣翠柳"

是不是会被神翻译成这样

▼

two yellow orioles are singing

in the green willows

或者标语

“好好学习, 天天向上。”

被翻译成这样

▼

good

good study, day day up.



中文和英文都有各自的韵味, 只要了解不同语言美的一面, 就可以更深入的去学习语言背后的文化, 同时也可以更立体的掌握英语。

"一带一路" 的倡议带来的不仅仅是经济上的共赢, 还有各国在文化上的交流。伴着清脆的驼铃声, 在诗词大会的推动下, 中国古典文化之美重新进入公众视野。对于学习英语的同学而言, 将传统文化和英语语言一同修炼, 齐头并进, 既是一件美事, 也是一件难事。

朗阁君为大家整理的是精通中国古典诗词和英法两种外语的翻译名家——许渊冲先生翻译的部分唐诗名句, 虽然英文的诗词版本不及古诗本身语言凝练, 但都音义双绝, 堪称唐诗英译之极致版。
