1、Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so co

2、nceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this,But in a lar

3、ger sense, we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here; but it can never forget what they did

4、 here. It is for us , the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced,It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for wh

5、ich they gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,审美鉴赏 1 声音美 只有266个字

6、的演讲词中，用了大量具有长元音、双元音的词语，平稳或调节着演讲的速度，也使演讲的效果铿锵有力，掷地有声。 以第1段为例，长元音、双元音的词语有：fourscore, years, ago, our, fathers, brought, forth, 。这些词语使演讲开始的语调徐缓而温和，进入主题自然而然，同时词语音调的抑扬顿挫既抓住了听众的注意力，也表现了作者的情感,比如该段中第一个小句可标注为：Furscrend svn yarsg,ur fthrs brughtfrth nths cntnnt nwntin,。 演讲开头的Furscre重读，引人注意，令人肃静。此后节奏平稳，抑扬顿挫，朗朗

7、上口,类似地，演讲词的中间一个小句可标注为：Bt n lrgr snse,w cnnt ddcte- w cnnt cnscrte- w cnnt hllw - thsgrund ()。 最后一个小句可标注为：nd thtgvrnmnt fth popl, bth popl, frth popl, shllnt prsh frmth arth. 整齐的抑扬格使原句诵读起来如行云流水，重点突出，情随意转，增强了演讲的节奏与感染力,2 节奏美 除上文中探讨的节奏表现形式之外，演讲词外在节奏的形式标记也较明显。 全文各句均较为“短小”有的句子本身短小，有的长句则经过语义切分变成了多个小句，形成了便于

8、朗诵的外在节奏,比如：Fourscore and seven years ago,our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty,and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation,or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,ca

9、n long endure. 这两个长句均以“意群”为单位进行了切分，均切分为长度基本相当的四个小节。文章随后的其它句子中，也频频使用逗号、破折号等进行了“意群”切分，内在节奏与外在节奏整体上基本一致,除用标点符号构建节奏之外，还用了“分句” 增强行文的节奏和表情达意的重点。 We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that

10、 that nation might live. But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow-this ground,以上两例似可分别合并为： We are met on a great battle-field of that war in order to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that n

11、ation might live. But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, nor consecrate and nor hallow this ground. 表达的重点、力量、效果、气势便会大打折扣,3 语义美 词句的语义美体现在三个方面： 1）富含圣经的语汇 Fourscore and seven years, our fathers, brought forth, conceived, dedicated, created等，是圣经中常用的语汇或表达方式-激起听众或读者庄严、肃穆、神圣的情感。 2）大量使用书面语 书面语及其平行结构使演讲

12、显得庄重、典雅、富于人文气息,3）频繁出现的中心词 dedicate出现了5次，conceive、consecrate、devotion各出现了2次。 同义复现的有: liberty / freedom, brought forth / created / nobly advanced, long endure / not perish, dedicate / devote / give their lives / gave the last full measure of devotion等等， “奉献”“创造”“自由”等成为中心词或主旋律,4 修辞美 演讲词共10句，修辞特征有：均为完整的

13、陈述句， 结构相似的整句与圆周句较多。 使表达的信息显得肯定、正式、庄重，给人信心十足的感受； 使表达的信息重点突出，表达的情感推波助澜，从而产生强烈的艺术感染力,But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. 句子中的dedicate、consecrate、hallow既在语义上逐层推进，也在结构相似的整句中推波助澜，蓄时累势，显示出别样的语势与效果,5 形象美 一群为追求自由、平等与统一而英勇奋战，为国捐躯的将士们； 一个坚定自信，激情

14、迸发，气势豪迈，要言不烦，极具感召力的林肯形象。 6 意蕴美 为了民族的自由、平等与统一而英勇奋战，为国捐躯，既是每个公民的责任与义务，也是每个公民的光荣与骄傲，人民不会忘记，世界不会忘记，历史也永远不会忘记,八十七年前，我们的先辈在这个大陆上建立了一个以自由为理想、以人人平等为宗旨的新国家。 现在我们正进行一场大内战，考验这个国家，或者任何一个主张自由平等的国家，能否长久存在。 我们在这场战争的一个大战场上集会，来把战场的一角献给为国家生存而牺牲的烈士，作为他们永久安息之地，这是我们义不容辞、理所当然该做的事,但是，从更深刻的意义来说，我们不能使这一角战场成为圣地，我们不能使它流芳百世，我们

15、不能使它永垂青史。因为在这里战斗过的勇士们，活着的或死去的，已经使这一角战场神圣化了，我们微薄的力量远远不能为它增光，或者使它减色。世人不太会注意、也不会长久记住我们在这里说的话，但是永远不会忘记他们在这里做的事,因此，我们活着的人更应该献身于他们为之战斗并且使之前进的未竟事业。我们更应该献身于我们面前的伟大任务，更应该不断地向这些光荣牺牲的烈士学习他们为事业鞠躬尽瘁、死而后已的献身精神，更应该在这里下定决心，一定不让这些烈士的鲜血白流，这个国家在上帝的保佑下，一定要得到自由的新生，这个民有、民治、民享的政府，一定不能从地球上消失。 - 许渊冲译,翻译与讲评 1 措词得当 语义准确洗练，风格与

16、情感得体恰切。 our fathers 先辈 resting place 安息之所 those who here gave their lives that that nation might live为国家生存而牺牲的烈士 The brave men 勇士们 these honored dead 光荣牺牲的烈士 these dead 烈士 died in vain 鲜血白流 风格上显得庄重肃穆，情感上表达了对死者的崇敬与敬重,个别地方措词还可修订。如: 将“brought forth”译为“建立”，倾向于客观事实的陈述，未能充分表现出对先辈的敬仰，似可修订为“创立”； 将“conceived

17、 in liberty”译为“以自由为理想”，未能在逻辑上与结尾处“shall have a new birth of freedom”形成事物发展过程上的前后呼应，似可修订为“孕育于自由之中,将“a great civil war”“a great battle-field”分别译为“一场大内战”“一个大战场”，只是表达了战争与战场规模的大小与空间的广阔，未能揭示出其历史意义与价值，因此可修订为“一场伟大的内战”“一个伟大战场”； 将“shall have（a new birth of freedom）”译为“一定要得到”，表达的是坚定的信念与决心，未能揭示出主体积极的努力与进取的姿态，似可

18、修订为“一定要争得”，如此这般也使表达的语气更为雄辩有力,We will never parley; we will never negotiate with Hitler or any of his gang. We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him in the air, until, with Gods help, we have rid the earth of his shadow and liberated its peoples from his yoke. Any man

19、 or state who fights on against Nazidom will have our aid. Any man or state who marches with Hitler is our foe. That is our policy and that is our declaration. It follows therefore that we shall give whatever help we can to Russia and the Russian people. We shall appeal to all our friends and allies

20、 in every part of the world to take the same course and pursue it, as we shall faithfully and steadfastly to the end,2 善用四字格 四字格：简洁凝练，朗朗上口，拧紧语气，增强语势，铿锵有力，掷地有声。 八十七年前，我们的先辈在这个大陆上建立了一个以自由为理想、以人人平等为宗旨的新国家。 因此，我们活着的人更应该献身于他们为之战斗并且使之前进的未竟事业。 我们不能使它流芳百世，我们不能使它永垂青史。 更应该不断地向这些光荣牺牲的烈士学习他们为事业鞠躬尽瘁、死而后已的献身精神,3

21、再现语气、语势 林肯的演讲坚定自信，激情迸发，气势豪迈，译文选词造句尤其是语气贯通与语势营构上充分再现出了这一显著特征。 八十七年前，我们的先辈在这个大陆上建立了一个以自由为理想、以人人平等为宗旨的新国家。现在我们正进行一场大内战，考验这个国家，或者任何一个主张自由平等的国家，能否长久存在。 译文前后两句均采用了定语前置的方法，拧紧了语气，以“新国家”结尾，与第二句的两个“国家”相衔接，整个译文显得话题集中、语气连贯、一气呵成、雄辩有力,因此，我们活着的人更应该献身于他们为之战斗并且使之前进的未竟事业。 译文也采用了定语前置法，拧紧了语气，也增强了鼓舞人心的力量。 我们在这场战争的一个大战场上

22、集会，来把战场的一角献给为国家生存而牺牲的烈士，作为他们永久安息之地，这是我们义不容辞、理所当然该做的事。 原文三句，译文并为一句，语气贯通，语势增强,我们更应该献身于我们面前的伟大任务，更应该不断地向这些光荣牺牲的烈士学习他们为事业鞠躬尽瘁、死而后已的献身精神，更应该在这里下定决心，一定不让这些烈士的鲜血白流，这个国家在上帝的保佑下，一定要得到自由的新生，这个民有、民治、民享的政府，一定不能从地球上消失。 译文中前面三个“更应该”推波助澜，揭示出林肯自谦的一面，后面三个“一定”则揭示出林肯坚定与自信的一面,I want a man who will throw his hat over th

23、e Chindwin and then lead his troops after it. -我要的是这样一个人，他决心在钦敦江破釜沉舟，然后率领部队前进,我要的是这样一个人，一个能在钦敦江破釜沉舟并率部过江的人。 They are striving for the ideal which is close to the heart of every Chinese and for which, in the past, many Chinese have laid down their lives. 他们正在为实现一个理想而努力，这个理想是每个中国人都珍爱的，在过去，许多中国人曾为了这个理想

24、而牺牲了自己的生命,他们正努力去实现那个理想，那个每一位中国人珍藏于心中的理想，那个许许多多中国人曾为之献出了生命的理想。 （主次不分，语气不畅；宾主不分，轻重全失,南吕 一枝花不伏老（节选） 关汉卿 尾我是个蒸不烂、煮不熟、捶不扁、炒不爆、响铛铛一粒铜豌豆，恁子弟每谁教你钻入他锄不断、斫不下、解不开、顿不脱、慢腾腾千层锦套头？我玩的是梁园月，饮的是东京酒；赏的是洛阳花，攀的是章台柳。我也会围棋、会蹴、会打围、会插科、会歌舞、会吹弹、会咽作、会吟诗、会双陆。你便是落了我牙、歪了我嘴、瘸了我腿、折了我手，天赐与我这几般儿歹症候。尚兀自不肯休。则除是阎王亲自唤，神鬼自来勾。三魂归地府，七魄丧冥幽，

26、nd seven years ago,”，美国人听来或读来会油然而生庄严、肃穆、神圣的情感，译文读者只是知道了一个具体的、平淡的时间概念，而且是瞬间带过，远无原文的历史文化回想与开启篇章徐缓而来、掷地有声的效果。 高克毅译为“八十有七年以前”，显得庄重典雅，朗朗上口。若从转存延宕时间或叙事效果来看，似乎也可译为“早在八十七年以前”之类的话语,we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground.”中，听众或读者不难感到语势推波助澜，蓄时累势，越来越强， 译文“我们不能使这一角战场成为圣地，我们

27、不能使它流芳百世，我们不能使它永垂青史。” 因各小句句子偏长，语气有些松弛，语势显得平缓或有渐渐趋弱倾向。 有的译者将该句处理为“我们不能把这一角战场献为圣地、封为圣地、变成圣地。”可做参考,葛底斯堡演说 亚伯拉汗林肯 早在八十七年以前，我们的先辈在这个大陆上创立了一个孕育于自由之中、信奉人人生而平等之理念的崭新国家。 现在我们正进行一场伟大的内战，考验这个国家，或者任何一个主张自由平等的国家，能否长久存在。 我们在这场战争的一个伟大战场上集会，为的是把战场的一角献给为国捐躯的将士，作为他们永久的安息之地。理所当然，这是我们应该做的。 但是，从更深刻的意义来说，我们不能把这一角战场献为圣地、封

31、等就顺其自然、比较随便了； - 文学语言：更有效地表情达意，吸引读者、感染读者、打动读者，往往关注语言的发音谐拗、节奏疾徐、韵律有无等,语法角度：为了表情需求与目的，文学语言往往会偏离日常语言的语法规范，如语序的调整，词性的有意变换等。 目的: 增强语言的审美效果，吸引、打动和感染读者，激发其审美感知和审美情感； 更有效地传达语言所要再现或表现的内容。往往通过“突显”，即“前景化（foregrounding）”方式来表现使话语在一般背景中突显出来，占据前景位置,2. 文学语言的曲指性：采用曲折迂回手法表达意思，使表达的意思需费思索和揣测 - 原因：是作者的表意策略；通过形象指涉的内容具有某种不

32、可穷尽性特点；与读者从中获得更多的想象与回味的审美要求有关。 -表现：文学作品中各种修辞手段或含蓄手法。 -结果: “言有尽而意无穷”、“言在此而意在彼”、“深文隐蔚，余味曲包”、“不着一字，尽得风流”。 -目的: 强化和深化审美效果和艺术感染力,3. 文学语言的虚指性：所指涉的内容不是外部世界中已经存在的实事，而是一些虚构的假想的情景。 - 原因：这种特性由文学创作活动的想象和虚构的特点所决定。指涉虚构情景的陈述，称为“虚假陈述”或“伪陈述,目的：“虚假陈述”不是要告诉人们现实中如何发生的真人真事，但也不意味着“说谎”或有意的“弄虚作假”，而是为了以想象的真实、情感的真实制造出人们颇能接受，

33、又能更有效地感染他们，打动他们的某种美学效果。 - 进一步说，激起读者的惊奇和喜怒哀乐的情感，使之获得审美愉悦，并从中给他们以思想上和精神上的教益。 - 贺拉斯说：“虚构的目的在引人喜欢。,总结： - 文学语言的特性：指义性与审美性。其审美性虽以其指义性为前提，并蕴涵于指义性中，但其之于作者、作品与读者（译者）的意义是尤为重大的。 - 指义性是相对显在的、直接的，审美性则是相对潜在的、间接的。 - 审美性体现在自指性、曲指性与虚指性三个方面。文学翻译不只是作品语言指义性的翻译，更为重要的是还是作品语言审美性的翻译,Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln (1) F
