作为记录人类历史、表达人类的生活和思想的一种工具,每种语言都有自己产生的背景和文化内容。在漫长的历史发展中,中国成为孕育语言的温床，最古老,最复杂、最丰富和最富有想象力。我们的祖先在几千年的创造和发展了语言，一些伟大的作家用中文写出了辉煌的篇章，如唐诗。因为中文这门语言的复杂性、丰富性,以及丰富的想象力,因此在进行翻译的时候会有很多困难。著名的翻译家叶君健曾经说过,世界上的很多国家很多很难将中国文化转化为另一种文化的语言。中国唐代诗歌作为一种特殊形式，翻译起来更加困难。唐诗是中华文化的瑰宝，一次又一次地被翻译成英文。在本文中,对静夜思的三个版本进行比较,证明翻译不仅是一门科学,也是一门艺术。

Abstract: A good translation can convey faithfully not only the content but also the style and the spirit of the source text. So there are two schools in translators: those who think translation is a science; and those who think translation is an art. In this paper, I introduce, explain and contrast several English versions of A Tranquil Night in the perspective of three-word standard, three beauties in poetry translation, cultural differences and equivalent translation, in order to prove that not only is translation a science, but also is an art.

Key Words: three-word standard; three beauties; cultural differences; equivalent translation

I. Introduction

What is translation? Translation is a kind of language activity of using one language to re-express completely and accurately the ideological content contained in another language; or it is a rendering from one language into another.

As a tool of recording human history and expressing human life and minds, each language has its own background and culture content. Because of long developing, Chinese becomes one language which is the oldest, the most complex, the most plentiful and the most imaginative. Our ancestry created and developed this language in thousands of years; and some great writers used the language to write many famous books, such as Tang poems. But because this language is so complex, plentiful, and imaginative, there are so many difficulties in translation.

Famous translator Ye Junjian ever said that it is much difficult to translate cultural Chinese into another cultural language. As a special form of Chinese, Tang poems’ translations are more difficult. Famous as the “jewelry” of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。
