从文化角度浅议诗歌翻译
中文摘要
在经济全球化的趋势下，东西方文化交流日益密切。诗歌是世界上每一个民族乃至文化最经典最精粹的载体。通过英汉诗歌互译，东西方文化的传承日益成为各国学者关注的热点。诗歌的可译性问题历来有诸多争论，众说纷纭。其中不可译论的代表人物有美国诗人罗伯特•弗罗斯特、英国诗人雪莱等。国内持不可译论者，有翻译家王以铸等。一方面众多学者坚持诗歌不可译论，而另一方面许多诗歌正不断的从一种语言以为另一种语言，并在新的语言文化语境中获得众多的读者。社会发展、文化交流的加深等，无疑都将促进不同文化的相互交叉和渗透。诗歌翻译，对于推动跨文化交际和文化传承，促进世界文学大交融都起着积极的作用。因此，本文以诗歌翻译为研究对象，对诗歌翻译中易出现的文化障碍进行分析，根据不同文化之间的关系将诗歌意象中包含的文化与译入语文化之间的关系分成三种:文化重合,文化平行和文化缺省；并提出翻译时可选择的对策。

A Study on Poetry Translation from the Cultural Perspective

It is an era of global village and internationalization, and the international culture exchange is also raised. Poetry is the important and essential carrier of every national culture in the world. Through the English-Chinese poetry translation, the cultural transmission between the East and West has increasingly become a hotspot for the world scholars.

Social development and cultural exchange will undoubtedly deepen mutual penetration and promotion of different cultures.

Therefore, based on poetry translation, this easy analyzes the cultural barriers in poetry translation, according to the relationship between different cultures, divide the culture contained in the images into three kinds: cultural overlap, cultural parallelism and cultural default, and proposes strategies of translation images in Chinese poetry.
